I've never worked for a dealership, so I have no idea if I should be surprised that they've even taken a TJ in for some nonregular diagnostics for a problem that didn't have a recall or service bullitin but I am kinda surprised. I'm also wondering how they could even find a steering column...

I would have thanked the tow truck guy for standing it back on its feet, paid with my CC and drove it home. If the windshield wasn't so bad I'd still be driving it while checking if I could get those fenders to look decent and waiting on a new hood. I know insurace has a purpose but I'd hate to...

Airbags? We don't need no stinking airbags.😝 This is my 13 month old daughter in a 20 yr old CJ back in the summer of 1997. Unfortunately she doesn't remember that and considers any drivable vehicle to be an appliance and if it's not drivable it needs replaced.😭

@Squatch I know this is kinda late but while googling just to see what the spool valve is is see that there are two Spool Valve Gasket Filters. Now I'm curious, how does the other filter look?

I can't explain that but I am surprised that I haven't seen any mall crawlers with multiple soft shackles being displayed. I know there might be the threat of other mall crawlers (not real Jeep people) stealing them but almost any modern super glue could prevent that.

I wouldn't worry about that. The fact that it ran decent enough to drive back home gives you two options: 1) Ignore what you found and repost in the future to let us know how many (hundreds? thousands?) of miles and how long (days? years? decades?) it was still drivable. 2) Pull it out, put...

I think WD40 might be better for kids. It'll stop the mud from sticking to make clean up easy and if you're lucky they'll never get arthritis

It's a commercial so terrible that you may not mind vision loss and avoid their product for that purpose.

Now that you ask, I don't think those were very fast or dangerous. Maybe it was the carriages with teams of six or even eight horses racing down the drag strip on a Saturday night they got people excited.

I don't know if this is the right place to post these but how about a really early Studebaker? And who knew where the term "Pheaton" came from? I certainly didn't.

I'd love to have one of those and a 3D printer and just about anything else that runs on a CNC style program (whater that would be called) unfortunately it's been too long since I've programed any CNC and even then those were pretty old in the tooth. As for 3D printing the closest I got was back...

I'm from Ohio so fairly north but I cwn't argue about northern people starting that one. Heck I didn't even realize the south had them in addition to the other bugs and stuff. Luckily I've only seen roaches two or three times several decades ago and that was only in some apartments which led me...

That's a couple things I just learned. All I really knew before this is what an old guy who restored a 54 told me, the 53 bumpers were a single curve shape between the bends around the corners and the 54 bumpers protruded outward (forward on the front, rearward in the rear) before wraping around...

That might do it but more likely if it starts with a "Hey, hold our beers."

There's no way I could pull that off but am I allowed to say that going roughly school zone speed doesn't impress me?
