Re: Engine Rebuild

Interesting. So, you installed the cylinder packs just as they came out? How many miles / hours were on the engine when you tore it down? Any issues with piston slap when cold or oil consumption? Did you notice any difference in the wear patterns on the skirts of the pistons? Sometimes pistons have ...

Re: MIJC Swap Meet Info

Not yet, but, as a matter of fact, Dave and I were discussing this an hour ago. We will have this event, just not sure where. And, I think trailers should be allowed.

More to follow. Stay tuned.

Re: Flat Nasty - April 2-4 Easter Weekend

I'm planning to go, and leave Thursday morning.

And, to Jill's question: 9am-ish is about right. Sometimes it ends up being closer to 10am by the time we get to the park.

Re: AMC20 rear diff Disk Brakes?

Burned? Maybe. Corrected? Absolutely not. Bruder, if you're after a Jeep sex toy, you're taking an awfully circuitous route. But I'll do some calculations and verify the torsional vibration implications in a rotational and axial direction. My guess is that it will allow for improved frequency respon...

Re: this is pretty nifty

Todd, I'm not sure.... no, I am sure; I don't understand your comment. It is kind of cool, but towing that behind the 3B would mean I can't get the ice cream maker in the receiver hitch. As the design is right now, it's either ice cream or a trailer YJ to grill on. No contest: ice cream! YJs are for...

Badlands this weekend, anyone?

I know we have a Club trip to the Badlands in three and a half weeks, but Justin Hartzel and I are planning to head over there this weekend (5/30). We just had the itch and to capture some (maybe) nice weather. When we talked yesterday the forecast wasn't bad, but now there's a chance for a thunders...

Annual Dinner: Should we do something different in Jan 2009?

There has been some discussion amongst various club members regarding a change of venue for our annual dinner, and I thought it would be appropriate for the club to discuss this in the forum. Yes, time is getting short, but we might as well discuss it some point. The conversations I have had with va...

I don't see why not, other than the fact that we may be a bit muddy. Regarding the weather, yesterday all was well at ~47 degrees and sunny. Today, they are calling for ~45 degrees and 30% of rain sprinkles. Hopefully this will improve, and I'm still planing to go.... as long as the weather does not...

I would propose we only go if the weather is nice. At least not raining. I know Justin Hartzell was inter...
