One Ohio idiot in a rice box a couple weeks ago (guessing Acura) cut me off and nearly took the front end off BlackWidow :furious:

Thanks though for caring about me instead of OTHERS giving me a hard time :roll:

I can go to Seveirville anytime. It's not that far off and I have a 2nd cousin down there who does maintenance on the Chalets down in Seveirville and lives in a cabin there. His name is Howard, you friend may know him.

"rice box"....there's your answer right there, just so happened it was from ohio.

There are a tons of chalet rental companies down there, most have their own maintenance people so he may or may not know him. That's what I was going to go for, be my buddies head repair guy and part office manager, just not enough smackeroos for me to make the move. For such an expensive place to visit, the wages aren't very high.
It was right decision though, with my parents failing health, I needed to still be up here.

besides the better millage... im saying its not going to help her off road. its the driver that needs to be better (not saying she is bad, just saying in general)

Yes you're saying my driving is bad. Women can sense when men are full of it. All men stereo type women as bad drivers. I think 4.10s would help me off-road. But how would I know? I don't off-road like I use to, nor do I want to anymore.

So are you getting gears and lockers, or are you trading the KJ for a Wrangler? Because I notice that you seem to go back and forth between the two every week or so. :lol:

Makes the validity of your plans a little iffy.

Hey its a tough decision... :-)r

Gears and lockers definately, I just realized I have like 2 yrs left to pay on the KJ. There's too much money in it and if i did buy a wrangler i wouldn't trade the kj to it :mrgreen:

I would just buy another Jeep :BANANA:

but it won't be a JK cause to be honest I do not like them...i like the 4.0L in the Tj's...time to start a jeep collection :BANANA:

Jeeps have been my favorite brand of vehicle. I would choose a Jeep over a lamborghini if i had the money to buy a lambo :-)r

So back onto gears and lockers...Jayme, which brand of locker do you suggest? All the men have said something different and I would like to hear what you have to say :lol:

The sun is shinning today so I just couldn't resist turning a wrench on the old girl :SOMBRERO:

Pulled off the tensioner pulley, removed the dust shields from the bearing and cleaned the bearing very well. Repacked with grease and threw it back together just to find my power steering pump shaft has a bit too much of play I think :dizzy:

Maybe I can find a colder day this year to work outside in my driveway to do that :ROTFL:

Well, as I have no plans to put lockers in at this stage in the game, I haven't done any research and/or homework on the subject. Was toying with the idea of an ARB in the front with the regear, but the project is too spendy for my bank account right now.

That, and in most circumstances I've been in to date, I've really had no real NEED for a locker.

Really? I thought you had a locker and 4.10s :dizzy:

If I have the money to do 4.10s and a locker, I mine as well go ahead and do it. :JEEPIN:

My KJ is still young, not even 62,000 miles yet. But hey, I would go with the ARB with the regear. The shop that works on my Jeep, they weld stuff so I could probably ask if they could fab up a front bumper and rock rails...

Has anyone seen a Kia Sportage (late model) with the swing-away tire carrier. I've toyed the thought of going to the Junk Yard and grabbing one off a wreck. There's another small SUV with the same thing, but cannot think of the name right now. :dizzy:

I thought there could be someway of mounting that same tire carrier to a KJ. It may not be long enough and probably couldn't hold the weight of the 245/75/16 tire+wheel, but who knows :juggle:

What do you all think?

Here's what it looks like swung open...

I've seen some with just a few bolts drilled into the side, holding up the tire carrier. This is the best picture I could find of one without the bolt holes showing...

To modify that to work on our Liberty's would be more work than just fabbing the propper carrier for your needs. Why would you want it to swing out anyhow? That would just be something to get out of the way just to open your rear door. Not to mention all the fun rattles it would add to your ride. I do not even like the carriers that some have added to their custom rear bumpers, it just doesn't add up to me. I would rather spend my money elsewhere. Just my :2cents:

well the holter monitor confirmed it, the burnt piece of coal in my chest is still just a piece of coal, not a diamond yet. Low heart rate was from low 02 levels while I was sleeping, have 02 piped into my CPAP now and all is well, lowest my heart got on the monitor with the 02 attached was 55 BPM, so ticker is working, the Reaper can't have me YET :grim:

My wife has the same thing Dustin. Has to have the bottles hooked to her CPAP. She needs to use it during the day with the little clear hose now too tho'. We just got an oxygen generator couple weeks ago instead of the bottles now. She has to take one of those bottles and the little booger catcher ( she don't like it when I call it that! :-)r

)hose with us when we go anywhere. :roll:

Good to hear it's just lack of hot air Dustin :goink:

Good to hear your going to be ok :BANANA:

TAHOE · **Posted:** Thu Feb 10, 2011 9:28 pm

Dustin with a lack of hot air.... not sure about that one :goink:

My dad has to have O2 all the time, has an oxygen concentrator for nights, then has two different portables he can carry.
Wow Nick, what was it 9 days????
