#23161 of 23220 I'm SO Glad I Have a Wrangler... by roadburner Jan 28, 2009 (8:35 pm)
North-Central Kentucky received 5" of snow and 1" of ice over the past two days, dropping fifteen or so trees across the road to our house. Thanks to the Lord and Jeep engineers we were able to bypass all but two of the trees by cutting across a snowy/icy/muddy cornfield in our trusty 1999 Sahara. Our power was off for about fourteen hours so the Jeep allowed us to reach civilization and obtain hot coffee and Mexican food for lunch. Yes Tom, I hugged my Jeep today!   Replies to this message: tsjay (Feb 02, 2009 12:06 pm) roadburner (Feb 03, 2009 9:52 am)

Replying to: roadburner (Jan 28, 2009 8:35 pm) Hey, didn't know that you were in KY. Well, if I knew it, I forgot it.   Over here in western KY we have it much worse. My power has been off since 3:00 AM last Tuesday! Tomorrow morning will make one week! I think I heard that we had 2" of ice.   There is not one single full grown tree that I have seen ANYWHERE around here that does not have some of the major upper limbs broken off.   I'm at work now in Madisonville, and we got our power back here just yesterday.   Glad you hugged your Jeep, but have you hugged it TODAY?   Tomster Have you hugged your Jeep today?

#23164 of 23220 Did Wranglers getting smaller? by mgarvie Feb 13, 2009 (4:34 am)
In 1989 I bought a new Wrangler but later sold it because the woman who gave birth to my child didn't like to shift gears (years later she brought home a 5 speed Saturn). This year I got back at her and bought a 2006 Wrangler for my birthday. My question is, did Wranglers get smaller? It sure seems like my old 1989 was bigger on the inside than this 2006.

#23167 of 23220 What Mac said by steampower Feb 18, 2009 (11:52 am)
Yeah Mac...my last wrangler was a 2003 Sahara. A while back I got a 07 Wrangler X. The sad thing is the interior is a tad larger, but I still felt like I was sittin' in a Crosley. Wrangler interiors don't grow at the same rate old Navy Chiefs do.                                           Happy Jeepin'                                            Chief   Oh......you DO remember Crosleys, right?                                        : : Replies to this message: mac24 (Feb 19, 2009 7:50 am)

Replying to: steampower (Feb 18, 2009 11:52 am) Oh......you DO remember Crosleys, right?   I never owned one but you still see them occasionally. Many different body styles that all looked like a miniature version of something else, from a British sports car, to a delivery truck, to a Jeep.   Here's a couple pics of the Jeep look-alike called a Farm Off Road or FOR. Look in the background of the red one to see how small they really were compared to the people there.       For a nostalgic look at many more of the same and different body styles click HERE then click on the link at the bottom of each page to see more.
#23169 of 23220 Setting Differential Gears by jeepn_ogre Feb 23, 2009 (9:28 am)
My ECTED gave out and auburn is cool and replacing it. The only problem is the shop who did it for me before wants to charge me out the....you know where to replace it.   I am experienced with replacing axles and all sorts of engine repair, my question is does anyone have a link helping set the gears so i don't burn them out. My clubs board talks about how i need to buy an OX or Detroit (yes i know they are great but this price is right!!!) , so i am coming here lol.   Any help would be appreciated....Thanks!!   Axle- Front Dana 30 w/4.10 ratio   Any other info need let me know!!

I am experienced with replacing axles and all sorts of engine repair, my question is does anyone have a link helping set the gears so i don't burn them out.   Go here: ALLDATA, to get twelve months access to the Factory Service Manual (FSM) for $26.95. It contains very specific and detailed information on how to do the job.   You can also download a very good generic installation guide here: YUKON, that has some excellent illustrations of what the gear mesh patterns should look like.   Personally, I'd go for an ECTED every time over an OX, Detroit, or ARB.
