Somebody please help me select lift parts!
I called ARB USA back then and they said they were NOT discontinued. They weren't making them in the quantities they used to, but they were still producing them.- Jim McClain

Somebody please help me select lift parts!
Last September, I called OME and asked if that was true. No, it wasn't true. I found them on eBay then and there are still some available from more than one seller. Search results for Old Man Emu N132L on ebay- Jim McClain

What did you do to your jeep today?
Finally got the Skid Row engine & tranny skid plate delivered via UPS today. This was the second time I ordered it and the second time both sellers (major online retailers) told me it was shipped when, in fact, it wasn't shipped. But now it's here and I have it scheduled to be installed, along...- Jim McClain

Wheelin a KJ, be honest...
I enjoy wheelin', but I am extra careful because I am usually alone, looking for photographs to make and don't have the ability to get myself out of trouble because I'm old and decrepit. But I do tend to take more chances with every skid plate I add - I'm waiting on one to be delivered soon...- Jim McClain

What did you do to your jeep today?
We like new blood, welcome. I too came here from a 2001 T&C. I liked that car a lot, but my increasing interest in getting to some decidedly off-road locations for photography forced me to start looking for a new way in July 2015. Really happy with my 05 KJ Limited. The support here has been...- Jim McClain

Tire Pressure Tools
My thoughts exactly on battery powered gauges. The one I linked to requires no batteries and it has been reported that it seats on the stem better than those pencil type gauges. Easier for my old eyes to read too. A plus is that it meets the ANSI B40.1 Grade B (±2%) international accuracy...- Jim McClain

Tire Pressure Tools
I don't think those Craftsman gauges are calibrated and they may not be very accurate (some are, some aren't - it's not consistent). And I'm not fond of buying more batteries. I've read very good reviews of this though: TireTek Flexi-Pro Tire Pressure Gauge I don't think my KJ senses the...- Jim McClain

Tire Pressure Tools
The dash warning light for tire pressure seems to alert me when there may not, in fact, be a tire pressure problem (the light comes on, usually after leaving a dirt road/trail and stays on until the next time I use the Jeep). It did this before I got my new tires, wheels and tire pressure...- Jim McClain

Add conduit nuts to fork
It's not really my idea, just a modification of one the JBA has been offering for a long time. Clevis Spacer for Front Struts are sold in several different sizes and are meant to be added before the strut fork is bolted on. I am merely trying to suggest these (or PVC pipe you buy at a hardware...- Jim McClain

Add conduit nuts to fork
I can't go outside and measure it right now, I don't feel good. But the last time I measured it was just under 3" in front and one side was a little less than the other side. If I cut a short section out of the pipe diameter to make it look like a C, then I should be able to spread it open wider...- Jim McClain

Lift kit
I lifted my KJ 3" and it made a big difference in ride quality. I prob'ly spent more money than you plan to, but there were a lot of options and great advice provided in my thread. Of course, there are other threads too, so read plenty. Here's a link to my discussion: Me and My '05 Limited...- Jim McClain

Add conduit nuts to fork
If one were to use a section of PVC pipe that was cut on one side so it could be spread apart to fit over the clevis and used as a spacer, what size PVC pipe would be needed. Inside diameter or out? I would cut a half-inch or so chunk out of the side of the pipe so I could open it up enough to...- Jim McClain

Do you use GPS navigation?
And those of us without unlimited data plans pay a hefty premium for that kind of GPS. I was told that when I called AT&T to complain about the extra charges on my bill during power outages. The tech was going over all the various settings I had enabled (actually, AT&T default settings after an...- Jim McClain

Do you use GPS navigation?
That one I linked to does have lifetime maps and live traffic. Oh yeah, there's one in Reno. I have a doctor's appointment next week over there, so I'll go to BestBuy and see what they have. I don't trust sales people at stores like that though, so I want to go with a little knowledge under my...- Jim McClain
