    Experience with OSC radiators?

    Does anyone have experience with OSC radiators? Their spec is at least more realistic than most, they mention plastic tanks and a 1 row aluminum core. I just started noticing OSC the last couple days and they're not pushing stupid stuff like 3 or 4 rows, all aluminum, etc. Yes they're made in...

    For us old guys...

    I just found this on Facebook and it's too funny not to post here!! :ROFLMAO: 60 or being over 70 and heading towards 80! Kidnappers are not very interested in you. In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first. No one expects you to run… anywhere. People call at 8pm and ask ‘Did...

    Currie's 2001 Fireant TJ question

    Years ago in 2001 John Currie competed in and won the ARCA Rock Crawling Championship in Johnson Valley CA, before King of the Hammers came along. Does anyone know what kind of front-end design the Fireant TJ ran, specifically its track bar? Was it even running a track bar? If there was, was it...

    Finding the studs under my exterior stucco

    I need to install a retractable awning onto the exterior of my house and need to attach it to the studs under the stucco. But the stucco's steel lath/chicken wire just confuses my high-end deep penetrating stud finder even with its 13 sensors, 12 more than usual. I bought it last year for...

    When did the TJ's front axle control arms get their eccentric cam bolts back?

    The cam bolts that could be used on early 97 to mid-99 to slightly adjust the caster angle disappeared in mid-99. I thought they were completely gone after that but I just learned they're stock in the 2006 again. When were they reintroduced?

    Finally a little wear on my Currectlync joints

    So I had a pretty good 45-50 mph shimmy and figured it was just a tire that was out of balance. I took it to a good local shop that after spending a lot of time on the balance finally figured out it had a bad joint on the drag link at its Pitman end. It was really worn out and sloppy. I was...

    Memorial Day

    The below are just a few personal thoughts about this upcoming Memorial Day. Armed Forces Day is to celebrate those still in uniform. It is truly a day for celebration. Veterans Day is to celebrate those who served but are no longer in uniform. It is also truly a day for celebration. Memorial...

    Mystery while measuring ignition wire resistance

    I had a local guy over at my house yesterday with a bad misfire on his 2000 2.5L TJ. He had spent way too much time trying to get the #1 spark plug out, the one behind the a/c compressor and I said to come on over. Between a 3/8" wobble joint and my impact wrench on its lowest power setting we...

    For The 65 & Still Alive Club!

    FOR THE 65 & STILL ALIVE CLUB #8 is me to a T. 1. When one door closes and another door opens, you are probably in prison. 2. To me, "drink responsibly" means don't spill it. 3. Age 60 might be the new 40, but 9:00 pm is the new midnight. 4. It's the start of a brand new day, and I'm off like...

    Public safety warning for men...

    As you know, women often receive warnings about protecting themselves at the mall & in dark parking lots, etc. This scam targets men. I wanted to pass it on in case you haven't heard about it. It can happen at Lowe's, Home Depot, Costco or even WalMart. I’ve been caught totally by surprise...

    TIA mini-strokes... be aware they can happen to anyone

    I hadn't mentioned this here yet but late March of 2022 while my wife and I were in the process of buying our Florida home, I had two TIA mini-strokes. No shit. I was stupid during the first one, I didn't know what was happening... I couldn't talk, I couldn't pronounce any words. I had been...

    Effing COVID

    My wife's friend stayed with us starting 12 days ago with a horrendous cough and and classic cold symptoms. It wasn't really a social visit or I'd be even angrier, she had sold her house in Sarasota and had to quickly find a house in our area to buy. My wife was her realtor and they're close...

    A funny during during the Vietnam era when the draft was in full swing

    Maybe only Vietnam vets or maybe just vets in general will get this but I just found this on a Vietnam veteran forum and I thought it was frigging hilarious. 1966 is when I was drafted, which is coincidental to this funny story... 1966 saw the draft in full swing with me toasting buns at the...
