All these posts, this has probably been posted before. However, since I haven’t posted in a while, here it is.

I heard the Bird of Prey had a Mr Fusion installed.

I use mineral oil in mine, and blow the filter out with the air hose. Next change, I’m going to filter the oil through a paint strainer, and reuse it.

I will say this; when I worked for BMW, there were shit tons of Valvoline drums in assembly. They put that in everything that got any sort of lube.

Not putting anyone down for their reasons of choosing this over that. But, it brings to mind my wanting a leather vest for motorcycle riding, about 30 years ago. (Upgrading from a denim cutoff). I found a high quality one at a small shop for about $50. My girlfriend at the time wanted me to...

Not exactly the same, but, I’ve always wanted a WWII (2, not 11) Hanomag.

Love the Stude! My first vehicle, at 15, was a ‘49 2r5 Champ truck. Learned to drive, and got my first license in it. I kept it until I was about 55, then sold it for parts. It was pretty much had it at that point. I’ve had several others during that time, but never got any of them restored as...

No problems, other than if it’s a soft top. Most U-Haul dealers won’t rent to a “convertible”. They cite “safety reasons”.

Yeah, I totally understand that. I just wondered if there was an alternative that met the Mopar specs. I’ll try to pick some up next time I’m near a dealer. Closest one is 25 miles away, out of my normal travel area.

So, what fluid do we use, other than Mopar? I don’t need any yet, but have thought of having some on hand. I’m just not familiar with this newfangled electric stuff. I just bought a used 2018 Ram that probably uses the same stuff.

yeah, I had to have mine shortened too.

This one is for Shadowspoppa.

Crawled back under the JT today, and was able to get a better view and angle on the steering box. I was able to tighten the rearward steering box bolts almost 1 whole turn. Problem solved. Sometimes having more time, and a fresh perspective pays off. (I never tried adjusting the preload, as...

And that is exactly why I try to do my own repairs. Even if under warranty. I had a Harley years ago, that the front brake master cylinder went out, under warranty. When I picked it up from the dealer, and was riding it home, the controls on that side started rotating down. They didn’t tighten...

Try Lowe’s, Ace, or Home Depot, in the bolt bins. Hardware section. Measure the thickness of the plastic it goes through, and add about 1/4” for the threads to stick through and put a nut on.

Yeah, I had thought about adjusting the preload there. I used to have to do it to my old CJ-5, until it finally had to be replaced. I’ll look at that tomorrow, if it’s not raining. I did run back out and check the mounting bolts and pitman arm nut. Everything was good.

2020 Overland, just under 36,000 miles on it. I am having an issue with a squeaking and clicking sound when turning the steering wheel, mostly when turning towards the left. I notice it more with the truck still, in park, while turning the wheel back and forth. I have checked the ball joints for...

Exactly what I was talking about.

You seem to be like my wife. She’s been disabled for about 15 years, has a lot of medical issues, and takes a lot of meds. The similarities are in that, whatever side effects are possible, she will have them. We have to be very careful, and weigh out the possible effects anytime she has a...
