  1. The problem could have mostly been ignorance. Lifted on 4 jacks. engaged 4wd. Both passenger side wheels spun. in the front, both drives were spinning, but only one wheel. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but only one wheel can spin at a time? the wheel with least resistance is wheel that spins? I was afraid to put resistance on the spinning side. not a lot of confidence in the jacks.
  2. My bad yes just unscrew it. I thought you meant that it broke off at the threads. You can get 'em for just about free at the j/yard. What year is your truck?
  3. The one I pulled on a '92 the front fender had to come off. It has a aluminum sleeve on an angle that prevents it from straight out.
  4. Everything is back together now. Even switched tires and rims from the flooded '92. They look good but need a wash. I've encountered a problem. The front wheels do not engage in 4wd. 4wd Light does come on but tires won't spin in mud. There is no irregular noises, but afraid to drive knowing something not quite right. I will take the hubs off the '92 to see if I can figure out what I put in backwards. If anyone knows what to look for first please holler. What is easiest way to check 4wd. I have two jack stands and a hydraulic jack. i may go get another set of jack stands and try to test 4wd on the carport. Cleaner. Again thanks for your help guys.
  5. I don't know why I have so much trouble getting the wife to help me! Anyway she's back together now. Had to socialize with some folks who invited us for dinner. All that left now is to replace the old pads. Hopefully we will get some rain tonight for the test drive!
  6. Got the rotors about to go to work. I want to hit all the grease fittings on the front end with a shot of grease. Do I just give it half a crank (sorry Mods didn't know you can't say c_o_c_k_) on the grease gun. Do I need to worry about overfill or damaging any grease seals?
  7. Going well so far. rotors are off, wiped all old grease pretty good. Brakes were almost gone so took rotors to tire kingdom to have turned. Kids were with me so we walked next door to Sonic got some shakes. 45min go by not ready. He did say they had enough meat so didn't need new ones. drove to Advanced Auto picked up some pads. Now I'm back at TK again wait another 30min. 2hrs since they were dropped I ask how long. He say "TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH we are having trouble with the machine. It will be another 90min. I agreed to come back in the AM. Didn't want to wait for another excuse. I can't stand people who start the sentence saying "To Tell You The Truth". I immediately question their sincerity. Hopefully they open at 7am tommorow I can get them back and not forget how I took it all apart. I might be posting tommorow if i have any probs. BTW. I have never greased bearings in my life. If it weren't for the How-to's on this board and all the helping hands I be paying Tire Kingdom $300+ to do it for me. I should be saving close to $200 bucks. Thanks guys, who do I write the check to?
  8. linky My only advice when removing the original leave the nut on until you pull the steering wheel loose. Ask me how I know :furious:

    Beer

    When I work late like tonight I treat myself to a pint of Heineken. Makes the 1/2 hour trip home more tollerable! 20 more minutes! Usually just Bud lite, b/c it's all I can afford on straight time!
  10. There's a pretty extensive how to in the Garage section. This is what I asked for at the J/Y. It wasn't a u-pull-it, so I never saw the jeep. The lift was noticeable, so it must have been from the right model. Make sure you specify V8, It's been said V6 was an option and the springs are different.
  11. Radar Love - Golden Earring on the way in this AM. Now silence til 5pm
  12. never thought of that, maybe it'll give an intense dose like snorting Ridalin
  13. Mythbuster says actually a negative result in mpg. went from like 24mpg to 18. I forgot what kind of car. Like a 87 buick or something similar link to mythbusters
  14. Never heard. anything close to Cheap Trick sound?
  15. Humming to myself as I search Monster.com for employer that allows radio... The sweetest song is silence That I've ever heard Funny how your feet In dreams never touch the earth In a wood full of princes Freedom is a kiss But the prince hides his face From dreams in the mist
  16. ^^^what he said Do you mean off-road capable as in all-time off-road, or do you mean on and off road capable? You may have to compromise on how off-road capable you want it and drive it daily. This would be the case with any 4x4. Again I say keep it!
  17. You guys make me sick! Here it is in the employee handbook right after screwing off on the internet. -study-
  18. Yep! It was on this weekend. Busted!
  19. linky Nobody seems to be asking the only question I have. Who was on the plane with him? Post your thoughts who the the other passenger would or should be! Hillary?
  20. Narrow 3" how? cut 3" out of middle and repair? or 3" out of bumper height? Looked for signs of repair from photo, but couldn't find them. Looks good! Especially the Jeep Pic. Welcome.
  21. I haven't had any shorts. including submerging trailer and bumper when launching the boat. Here's a linky that might help with the wiring.
  22. You didn't waste time replacing the lights. Your truck is really clean. I like it a lot.
  23. What's with the Thread Title? I answered. You just have to get thru the snippy comment part. Have not installed lift so am not qualified answer this thread however.
  24. I chickened out on those two. I hope I get the nerve in the next 30k.
