    Lube Locker Gaskets

    Anybody here ever used Lube Locker gaskets on their diffs? I have them in both ends with no problems, but I also have HD covers. They were kind of spendy and I'm just curious if anyone's had any adverse experiences with them.

    Roll Cage

    During one of my more mundane chores at work I was daydreaming about to-do list items that don't involve fixing problems. And I was thinking about the roll cage, front hoop to the floor, not just windshield support handles. Has anyone here done a cage in their YJ? Simple hoop was the original...

    Hourly Service Interval Timing

    Just a curiosity question.... Years ago when I was wheeling my old GPW, it didn't have a speedo, or any gauges for that matter, so I just did regular services on an annual basis. I mean you can't do regular service "Too often". Annual was fine, unless I missed the date or forgot about it. I used...

    CAD Delete "Kit"

    Just a curiosity question, my CAD delete plate came with 2 different seals and not 1 or 2 but, 8 of the same snap ring. WHY? The plate doesn't even need a gasket (didn't come with one or bolts) and 1 piece axles aren't ground for a CAD seal. Why else would you want the plate except for a one...

    Ring & Pinion Question

    I've got a new R&P and Yoke. When I went to test fit the yoke on the pinion it only went on about 1/2 way. After about 2 weeks of carefully filing witness marks in the yoke I got it about 7/8 of the way. I can torque it down the rest of way with a nut pretty easily, so I'm not worried about it...

    Ignition Key

    Does anyone know if a locksmith can get the original ignition key pattern from the VIN? Had a close call yesterday as my keys went missing at my buddies shop when I went to bring her home. They were later found, I'm just curious for future reference.

    1991 2.5 build "Fluffy"

    She was the last ugly kitten in a box that a Girl Scout had out front of the grocery store, and I had bring it home. Actually, she winked at me from a parking lot when I was returning to town.

    Mitsubishi Jeep

    Here's a fun one. I was watching a newer Godzilla movie and noticed a military 3B high-hood. Then I saw the Mitsubishi 3 diamond star stamped on the grill, I had to look it up. Yup, they licensed it from Jeep after WWII and built them until '98! Right hand drive only, 4 speed and a 2.7 diesel...
