Yep, I feel your pain, I cleaned mine out and boxed the frame with 3/16th. Welding rust is an art!-) (I used a grinder, Marine Clean, Metal Ready, then POR-15) POR-15 works well IF you prepare the surface, if not it peels of in a year. Metal Ready helped maintain my arc on rusty/porous metal instead of the constant sparkler effect

I run 33's with a 3"BL and 3"SL and no rear sway bar never tip, 3 wheels once or twice but that just shakes off the mud/sand and rust when the wheel comes back down (no more hairpin turn on-ramps at 75 and all 4 wheels stay on the ground) 3+3 werks fer me!-) (I switch to my 31's on stock rims if there are alot of rocks as the 10.5 vs. 12.5 width makes a huge difference also 12.5's slip a bit more on muddy rocks (ask my rockers;-)

I'll 'splain it then!-) Legalise it and the State goes to hell!-) Your State legalised Medical Marijuana (OBVIOUSLY from the math) I'm down! (I would be glad to join one of your planned excursions) and if you get 20-25 mpg your running some sails... (Unless you go downhill at idle I doubt it... Unless you have a mast and sails (as in like a sailboat)) You gonna bring me some good eats in the Dutch Oven? (Aimed at 94 as I believe he brings a Dutch oven to cook up the cheese soup) Im pretty sure, that i didn't understand a WORD you just said... (Any other explanations?-)

Happy with my Calmini setup, and cut the UCA's to fit rancho 9000's. TM has that torsion bar drop which looks like a mudplow... Not hating; it just seems more for the mall:-)

One of the Ronin guys cut out the rockers and replaced with sliders I believe (theking) on ronin but don't remember as I have been out a while.

I wish it would have been that easy... Still here at my Job, on September 22nd (yeah a DAY before my 2 weeks was up) The boss(uncle) put his helicopter thru the roof of a house killing him and his fiancee. (noone in the house was hurt; 2 adults and 3 kids) went thru roof, down stairs, out front door and BOOM exploded in the front yard... In order to keep the company running I had to stay on. Alot has changed so I am staying... Should be a regular again soon once all the "issues" are resolved. I wasn't involved in the customs charges, but it was/is interesting!-)

I cut mine off, air grinder with cutting disc and it just fell off (I tried cooking, hammering, heat vision, F-bomb) finally just 30 seconds of zzzzing and done. carefully of course

Por15 rocks if you prepare the metal right Marine clean and Metal Ready should be purchased at same time. a few hours after por15 is used it is ready for bedliner, don't wait a day or 3 as it will not stick very well to por15 once it fully cures. Worth every penny!

Love my Calmini lift, I didn't index the torsion bars right the first time (off by an inch)

peanut butter, or peanut oil Bears will love it also

yep, tranny coola and you'll be happy till ya hate it in 20 more years....

Finally gave my 2 weeks notice for my dreaded job; feels awesome to be done with the punishment and US Customs raids, etc...

Buds are FINALLY filling in!-) Oh this isn't Potshot.net DOWH.........

Intra-dimensional port on the Interweb thingie?

If your close to WI I have one in my spare 95 (new main bearings, clutch, and pressure plate) (frame broke from rust after having the 5sp rebuilt and I bought a 95 auto)

I like it, (I welded a crapload of 3/16" plate into my frame over the weekend; which jeepers would think was a waste of metal also...)

98 will not work

If you tow anything I would suggest auto, had both 5sp and auto; Love my autotragic slushbox! 5 speed if you don't have a radio (ya may get bored!-) Plus it keeps the pimphand free for keeping the wife in line.

I bought 2 95's so far ( $2500 each) 3800 it better still have that new truck smell!

I have been hearing about refurb issues (never had to replace one in my pathy but I will buy new or rebuild myself) saving $50 on a refurb vs. being stranded (just my 2 cents)

Rancho is much more purty! and a little beefier

will they let you use the tig/mig stuff before you take the class? Cause just using OXY would be a crazy learning experience. (just removed my gas tank last week to weld up my rear frame and rusted rear wheelwells and under rear seats) that part is thin enough you can use a small rental to do it.

Thats what I was hoping to hear!-) Thanks JJ

I have RS9000's and was hoping I could invert the rear shocks due to the airlines hanging in harms way; Just wondering if anyone has actually ran them upside down? Ripping airlines in the middle of the woods sucks...
