    Manual vs auto radiator

    Silly question but, I’m swapping out the radiator and got an auto radiator from rock auto. Do I need to plug the trans coolant lines, or just install and go.

    RV Towing Rant

    if you're looking at going to any kind of campground save yourself some weight by traveling empty and getting water when you get there, also empty your gray and black tanks before you leave.

    Share Your Bonehead Moves

    mine was the F134 also, it was a great little rig but it was a DD after my divorce and I ended up having to let it go for something easier to DD. I miss that one also.

    Share Your Bonehead Moves

    My old 58 CJ5 had a hard time starting when it rained out (I live north of Seattle, so all the time) so when i was lazy I would spray some starting fluid in the carb. One day it backfired and caught the intake hose on fire and I was running around like an idiot with a small container of water...

    I Hate Yard Work

    It's hard to find a kid that's willing to do work like that. Not bashing on "kids these days", but we've had the same problem out here.

    Worst beer you've had?

    Tusker beer, had it in the mid 90's in Mombosa Kenya. I swear it had formaldehyde in it.

    When did you buy your first Jeep, and when your first TJ?

    My first jeep was an 89 XJ I bought in CA in 1994, I followed that up in 1996 with a 58 CJ5 that I found for $2500 just outside of Death Valley. Took that up to WA and drove it as my DD for 3 years. Then there was a 94 XJ, 86 CJ7, 99XJ, and a 2000 WJ. Finally found my 05 LJR in 2016. Loved...
