I had a 1988 Olds Cutlass Ciera stolen in Nashville in 1996. They took it joyriding, and it was found abandoned the next week, once the gas ran out. One window broken and the steering column was popped off, but otherwise in much the same shape it was before. Perhaps a small consolation, but...

It looks like you hit a small boy. Are you sure the body's still in good shape?:p

A jeep without a driver? Where's the fun in that? Check out the robotics teams at http://www.forbes.com/home/technology/2007/11/04/robot-google-revolution-tech-cx_ag_1104robot.html and http://www.cajunbot.com/site98.php

Believe it or not... was flipping through the Quadratec catalog and saw this: http://www.quadratec.com/products/55016_02.htm "Direct Fit - Power Window Kits" manufactured by "an original equipment supplier to Ferrari" Thanks, but for $320 I'll keep enjoying the top down when I want some air.

Was getting 12 mpg, then upgraded to a K&N air filter, Rusty's TBS and fixed a dragging left rear brake. Probably the left rear brake made most of the difference (I know people say TBS doesn't help that much). Now I'm up to 14.5 mpg in a 4banger TJ manual on 33x12.5s.

I think my golden gets sick from the way I drive. She crouches in the back and lies on her stomach at any speed over 15 mph. Of course, she also freezes in the road on a walk at the sound of any oncoming car. I've got one of the harnesses that wraps around the body and has a slot for the...

Using Time Warner Cable, mainly because the quarterly subdivision fees include a cable subscription, so I only have to pony up the additional HD set top fee of $10 a month. Plus, their Roadrunner service is about the only high speed game in coastal/rural SC.

If your area has one, look for a rescue agency dog. If run properly, the agency will foster the dog and screen them for bad habits, house-train them, and always checks out potential owners to make sure they are a good match. I have a 7 year old golden retriever from Memphis Area Golden...

I did check to order the right part from the company, but I ordered online and the part came stamped made in Taiwan. I briefly looked at them before putting the new one on, and it appeared the same, but I went back and looked at the old one: there seems to be a 1/8 in gap at the base of the...

So, more problems with the right front wheel bearing replacement in which I accidentally pulled the axleshaft: Was having trouble driving afterwards, jeep pulls to right. Initially thought I might not have installed the brake properly, removed it and re-installed, appears to have good...

Thanks.

Realized I didn't add: 98 TJ manual transmission

New to doing mechanic work, have death wobble, and figured out the wheel bearing on the right was loose, so thought I'd replace it this weekend. The jeep was in 4-wheel drive during the hub removal to prevent the shaft from turning while removing the nut. Accidentally pulled the right...

That's a dealership up the road from me. Kelly Blue Book puts the vehicle dealer price at $14k. You could probably negotiate lower than the $15k reserve.

Two more uses for duct tape... "Duct tape bandit charged in robbery" http://www.myrtlebeachonline.com/617/story/157796.html Note the part how the owner of the liquor store also had duct tape wrapped around his club. From the looks of the pics, I don't think a choke hold was the only thing...

So... looks like I need to do a right front wheel bearing unit replacement (put the jeep on stands this weekend to try to figure out where the wobble at 45 mph is, and the right is definitely more loose than the left). Several online sites have composite vs. full cast rotors. Are the full cast...

Here in SC I got a used 2.5 at a fair price, mainly because the used lot couldn't move it. They said everyone wanted 4.0 to tow boats with at the beach. So if you plan on doing any towing, it sounds like the 4.0 is a better choice. I can't get above 13 mpg with stock engine on 33x12.5 and 4...

I like how you've accessorized with WD40 in the washer room pic:-) Seriously, I miss old houses. Grew up in one built in 1918 (which also took my family 15 years and most of my childhood to remodel--one room had 14 layers of paint and wallpaper, and the dates were written on the back of each...
