    yeah I was willing to pay the 30 dollars a year for the 5 gb plan and had done that for a couple years but no way was I going to pay 400

    welcome to the doghouse

    yes, I have all the pictures on my computer. that is not the issue. it is that all the links in my threads will show that stupid logo of theirs in a couple months and in order to fix them I have to go back through, and find the pictures and then load them for each site. no it is not...

    :yellowjeep: swapped out the crank sensor and had to check with the hesco forum to figure out the air gap. gapped it to .050 and ran the wires in a better way and re wrapped the loom wires with electrical tape and fired it up. it is running like new again.

    I have been checking in occasionally. but that never to be sufficiently damned photobucket fiasco has me pretty much defeated when it comes to forums. all my pictures and how to's and build threads are all going to be useless after the first of the year, so I have not felt much like posting...

    The "What did you do today thread"?

    sounds like gout? so on another note. anybody else think photobucket just killed off a whole bunch of forums?

    I finally decided to tackle the gauges. man have I mentioned I hate wiring. well I bought this gauge package because it had this nice plug and play harness that plugged right into the stock wiring harness. I get the gauges and they sent a universal wiring harness. not happy. I called and...

    The "What did you do today thread"?

    I spent yesterday and today wiring the new classic dash instrument cluster for the 89. I decided to go with a gps speedometer because of the way the cruise control is wired. I will post up some pictures in a few days when I get back from my conference.

    Building a new shop

    well, Chris I am sure you are a much better engineer than I am, but a 50 foot span with wood trusses is a big span. and to do that it would be a lot of weight. I am assuming therefore that you are planning to go with some form of steel truss. so in my opinion I think the strength of the steel...

    welcome to the doghouse

    I finally got the ol 89 over to the dyno shop yesterday. We knew we needed to swap to a cooler spark plug, but we did not know which one to choose, so we were not surprised to hear that on the first run it had some detonation at WOT. also I should have drained the fuel tank before I started this...

    well, I haven't driven it much lately. I have my dyno session scheduled for the 22nd. next monday. I will probably have to pick it up tuesday, and we are apparently in monsoon season here so we will have to see.

    I may have to. I took it for a drive yesterday just around town. it is cruising pretty nicely. I got on it once or twice but it needs some tuning so I am just going to drive it like a grandma for a while to make sure everything is working right and then after I get it tuned I will see what she...

    well, it turns out my new smog pump eliminator was out of alignment. I had to shim it with 2 washers to get things lined up properly so the belt was wanting to jump the track. took it for a test drive and everything is working great.

    welcome to the doghouse

    well, I took it out for a test drive yesterday. everything seemed fine to start with, it was running great, no weird noises, no leaks, no pinging. I did a couple acceleration runs to see my boost gauge show positive boost, and it smoked the tires very nicely. then after a little while of...

    not yet, it hasn 't stopped raining in days. I just about had to fit a snorkel to my jeep to get through the mud puddle in my drive this morning. it is supposed to stop raining this afternoon and be dry the next few days so hopefully I will be able to take it out soon.
