Hope to get 6 gallons. It's been 3 years since I've made any wine at all. It's strange how you just stop doing things you love. Hopefully it won't turn out too sweet. Should know in about 4 weeks.

My starter last went out immediatly following an oil change. Unfortunately I was the mechanic. Picked up on NPORA to cover starter with oil rag before changing filter. So far I have two years on this starter with no problems!
Don't let anyone change your filter without covering the starter somehow.

Your rig says I pwn n00bs!
Awesome.
I'm probably the only one who didn't get it.

I call the wifey "Mom" in front of the kids, by her name most of the other times. :X
As for the nagging, just try to ignore it. Both of you made most changes prior to marriage. Not much changes quickly after mariage.

Don't laugh just b/c this came straight out of Big D's trailer park but try...
Use your 4-way as handwheel, screw in ground 15 deg opposite from pull point. Tie tow strap around head of anchor to pull against. Works great in Mud, Sand, and Hard Ground. Probably inaffective in rocks or Ice.
Save $40.

Louisiana DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) Handbook for 2007
1. Turn signals will give away your next move. A confident Louisiana driver avoids using them.
2. Under no circumstance should you maintain a safe distance between you and the car in front of you, because the space will be filled in by somebody else, putting you in an even more dangerous situation.
3. The faster you drive through a red light, the less chance you have of getting hit.
4. WARNING! Never come to a complete stop at a stop sign. No one expects it and it will result in your being rear-ended.
5. Never get in the way of an older car that needs extensive bodywork, especially with SC, WV, or NC plates. With no insurance, the other operator probably has nothing to lose.
6. Braking is to be done as hard and late as possible to ensure that your ABS kicks in, giving a vigorous, foot massage as the brake pedal violently pulsates. For those of you without ABS, it's a chance to strengthen your leg muscles.
7. Never pass on the left when you can pass on the right. It's a good way to prepare other drivers entering the highway.
8. Speed limits are arbitrary figures; given only as a suggestion and are not enforceable in Louisiana during rush hour.
9. Just because you're in the left lane and have no room to speed up or move over, that doesn't mean that a Louisiana driver flashing his high beams behind you doesn't think he can go faster in your spot.
10. Always brake and rubberneck when you see an accident or even someone changing a tire. This is seen as a sign of respect for the victim.
11. Learn to swerve abruptly without signaling. Louisiana is the home of high-speed slalom-driving thanks to the Department of Transportation, which puts potholes in key locations to test drivers' reflexes and keep them alert.
12. It is tradition in Louisiana to honk your horn at cars in front of you that do not move three milliseconds after the light turns green.
13. To avoid injury in the event of a collision or rollover, it is important to exit your vehicle thru the windshield right away. Wearing your seat belt will only impede your hi-velocity escape from danger.
14. Remember that the goal of every Louisiana driver is to get ahead of the pack by whatever means necessary.
15. In Louisiana, 'flipping the bird' is considered a polite salute. This gesture should always be returned.
#9 is my pet peeve. flashing lights because I'm not passing fast enough makes me pass even slower.

Tell him about the secret handshake!

You can clean it, yes, but the gap won't be the same. I dunno how important that is, but in the interest of best performance I'd buy the new $7 rotor.
That's the answer I was looking for. I was afraid it all came integrated with the distributor. It looks like just a phillips head screw is all that holds it in there. If it's anymore complicated let me know.
Thanks, Daniel

Bought a Hot-tub Friday, on the way home Pathy was having trouble maintaining 3k rpms going up the hills. (South Missisppi hills are slight lumps). It has been 30k miles since plugs, wires and D/Cap were changed last.
Plan to do same tune-up again with MAF cleaning.
Last time the D/Cap was changed I noticed the contact from the distributor had some rust/oxidation on it. (little metal tab that spins inside the cap, don't know technical name
)Question is can I hit this contact with the wire wheel to clean the surface?
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Take care of yourself let us know how your doing. Hope you feel better soon!

It sounds like you are on an Island. I lived there for a year in '93 (Fort Mill), the best year of my life. 3hrs from beaches on one side, 3hrs to the mountains on the other.
Beautiful Place!

Super Pics! Are you going to get a Flyers sticker for it?

Nice job. ROTFLMAO! -
Be careful with the transaction. Make sure the car exists. If you hear stories like "I was transferred to Germany so need you to wire money the money to my uncle so I can get the lien off the title" start looking elsewhere.
-
So Sad! hope you get the fever for the future soon. $1400 was a sweet deal!
-
lmao. your right the middle is the funniest.
ROTF too!

Hi Mr. Jim, I'm Dagwoodzz, pleasure's mine. No need dwelling in the past the future is looking fine!
And very glad to hear your good spirits!
-
Welcome I like the last pic! You'll fit in here real well.
-
Just got a call from Jim, wait to hear from the horse's mouth on new news and stuff that's fresh. Things will be a-changing!
By your tone it sounds like the conversation was a good one. I wish I had been a member in time to somewhat meet him. Perhaps we could get to know him if feels better soon!

Explain to us Mudrats down here how a cactus spur punctures a side wall. Was it on the tree or just picked up from the trail? Does the spur stay in the tire like a nail? That would be a photo worth posting. Never seen a cactus spur in person, so it's hard to appreciate their ruggedness. In S/E louisiana the toughest plant life is the Palmetto. Hardly a match for any side wall.

Congrats Red!

On my WD there is an access to fuel pump from the cargo area. It is kind of in the middle, but more to the passenger side. I would think if that were your problem you would see gas on the that side rather than driver side. Not sure where fuel pump is on the R50.
Removing gas tank is not too difficult, I do remember the bolts (19mm if Iremember) had rusted/seized and the heads broke off removing them. If this happens you will need self-tapping screws or studs & nuts to re-install. A four-way is very useful for removing bolts.
Here's a link that might be helpful to avoid a replacement.

What work did the shop perform on the Pathy. If it was an oil change I would say not. If they removed the bearings probably. It will be hard to hold them accountable unless they are reputable guys. You might start by offering to pay parts if they eat labor to fix. Some guys will do that if they know they probably monkeed it up.

What triggers the 4WD light to turn on and off. If your hubs are stuck in the engages position, that wouldn't cause the light to stay on would it? It should be the t/case causing the light to either be on or off.
Asking out of ignorance. I don't know the answer.
I am back. MrJim

I think it is a great idea, unfortunately Mapquest is telling me I would only be able to attend in spirit.
