    Does a person with a perfect credit rating exist??

    It's pretty weird that being in debt helps your credit rating. The more kinds of debt the better! Home, credit card, whatever. I think it is paying on those debts on time every month is is what they look at.

    The jeep wins, for now...

    Thanks, for your input! I know the load is carried between the bearing and the race but I can slide the bearing on the spindle and it's not even close to tight. It wiggles all over the place and, yeah, I'm not comfortable with that so a new one is on the way.

    The jeep wins, for now...

    Yeah, that was my first thought. But, the surface where the bearing seats seems a little worn away. I'm so deep in this project I have no problem replacing a worn out part that everything else rides on.

    The jeep wins, for now...

    I bought a 1984 CJ7 for a daily driver. A leaky brake cylinder led to replacing pads, shoes, drums, lines, rotors, everything but the junction blocks. Last night I got down to the spindles and they are chewed to ****! So, no work on the GTX lately.

    Does a person with a perfect credit rating exist??

    I think mine was up at 835. I paid off my bank loan and it immediately dropped to 700 something.

    You're some kind of stooopid!!!

    I'm all for walking anywhere I please, but this encourages people to cross streets at unsafe points. I wonder how much time and tax payer dollars went into making a law that states, "You can cross the street anywhere, but if a cop doesn't like where you're crossing, you're getting a ticket...

    Another 'how old is everybody' thread.....

    Hey, man, I'm 48 so we both grew up with out cell phones or computers. I'll call that still the golden age! I think I got to use the internet two or three times in my senior year of high school.

    The cost of a paint job.

    I could have bought the nicest running GTX there is for what I paid in body and paintwork. But, I wrecked it so I was going to fix it. Or, rather, pay someone to fix it! I'm not a paint and body guy although my Harley came out very nice! Sanding bores the hell out of me... I never added up...

    My torsion bar removal tool. Here are some pretty good ideas of how to make your own removal tool.

    I see a Jeep poking it's nose out there, too!

    Who does not own a modern vehicle?

    I will say that my fiancé has a new Subaru Ascent. I do like driving it as it has all the cruise control comforts like automatically slowing down when you come up behind a car. It will steer you back in your lane if you wander. I don't really like that feature. It's great for road trips and...

    Who does not own a modern vehicle?

    I recently rode with my sister in her new Kia. The entire dash was one flat screen! All the way from the drivers door to about where the passenger seat starts. Pretty wild, but not something I'd like to look at all the time.

    Who does not own a modern vehicle?

    I guess I wouldn't mind seeing a newer Challenger in my driveway! Hope you like it. My uncle was a die-hard Chevy guy until he rode in a Challenger. Now, he owns one!

    Random picture thread

    The other day I went to Auto Zone to get a blower motor. They said, "Sorry it's out of stock. We can have it middle of next week. But if you pay $8 more we'll have it tomorrow for you." WTF!!! Fine, here's your 8 bucks.

    Who does not own a modern vehicle?

    So, by modern I mean one controlled by computers. With the exception of an ignition control module. I know I'm a rare breed, only 48 years old. But, all my vehicles are old school! My newest is a 1984 CJ 7 with a Weber carb and GM HEI ignition. I drive that every day for work. My '71 C-10...
