Bobby,Instead of using the 'insert pic' link, attach them instead. If you scroll up a few posts, Ken posted a pic of a swivel socket but it has a little paper clip icon. When you click on the pic, it opens up in a new window, and if the window isn't large enough for the full size image, a magnifying glass icon appears and you can click the pic to make it FULL size. Yours look to be inserted into the body of the post and that's why when you click on them they open up full size.If you're posting from your phone you may be limited in the method that you can use to attach pics.Hope that helps...
Those spark plugs were GONE!
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
I got an XJ steering shaft for my burb. Ever hear of doing that?
Bobby.... I have a Xj I am going to be sending to the scrap heap at some point very soon. It's got a hatched 4.0 and is generally a POS. But it did run and drive fine minus the rod trying to fly out of the block. If you need any parts lemme know. It also has a lift of some type... I haven't investigated much.
Bobby, I'm thinking I heard lift kit...
Road trip.
I will grab a pic or two this afternoon. It's completely rust free but very ugly. It has no paperwork or maybe I'd sell it to someone as a project...that said it's pretty much a parts rig. And yes it is lifted....it has 31" rubber and slightly cut front fenders.
Bobby, what general part of the USA are you in? It's sat behind a shed on concrete for a year already. It's not going anywhere in a hurry...other than I would like not to plow around it yet another winter LoL

...therefore whatever size the pic is on Imgur, it will be the same here. So, before you upload to imgur you'd need to resize the pic. The easiest way to resize is to turn down the resolution that your camera (I'm assuming your phone) takes pics at... if that's even possible? Other than that, there are 3rd party apps for the phone or even MS Paint on the PC that can resize the pic.

No, because attaching a file saves it on the RMT&S server. Using a 3rd party hosting site just uses a pointer to the file over on imgur's servers ([IMG] HTML tag), therefore whatever size the pic is on Imgur, it will be the same here.

factory is HP d30 non disconnect
I'll keep an ear to the ground for a late model wagoneer/early xj. Anything with a d44 front will be 6 lug though. And Norm probably DOES have them, he just needs to check in the other barn behind the hay bales. ;D
Thanks kyle....did not know that. I've uploaded close to 3000 pics to imgur since the beginning of RMTWS, and thought I knew what I was doing.

I just always did it individually, or not at all. But i'll likely use the auto-resize from here on out. I might do a sticky in the Intro's section with a little tutorial.
Bobby... What you'd want to find in order to build a 44 front is a Dana 44 F-250 77ish-79 Ford front axle. These are reverse Rotation DS drop like your Dana 30. Most would then cut/narrow for a overall axle width of 64" for a XJ application. Then... you can pick and choose knuckles and hubs/brakes from a variety of applications depending on desired bolt pattern. And of course you'd also need to buy some custom inner axle shafts. Fabricate your brackets/steering and your done. Not all that bad of job really....You'd also then most likely want a 8.8 rear with a matching bolt pattern and gears. Personally....a Dana 30 with quality ball joints, and 31" rubber won't be prone to breakage unless you use a air locker or a Detroit. And even then it would take some abuse. The advantage to the 44 starts becoming more obvious when ya get larger rubber (35") and a locker. Also Wis terrain is largely dirt/mud so again I'd stick with the Dana 30 front. If you ever need custom axle or fab work of any nature done...let me know. I have many friends in Wisconsin in the 4x4 world. I also have kids/grand kids there, and we visit a few times a year.
Also JKS sway bar disconnects
Update:XJ had an amazing update.I cleaned the windshield, inside and out. That is all.
Details needed!1. What type of cleaner?2. What type of rag used? or paper?3. In the sun or a shaded area?4. Wiping back and forth, or up and down, circular motion, or free form?5. Edges and corners clean as well?6. What % increase in visual acquity after the modification?Come on Sergeant, tighten up this shot group!
he may not have had enough coffee yet this morning
Yep, more coffee (as I finish cup 2) for Don. Seems a tad testy this AM.Go get that XJ
Good jobCM
bobby, my back seat stays folded down with a couple of blankets layed down to catch things that fall from the these 2
If youve never used newsprint, give it a try. Works wonders. No lint.
This is a great detail trick (or is that a hack nowadays?), I have been using this method for at least 30 years. Best used as a 'final' wipe down/polish for that showroom clean look.TIP to use: Wad up a full two sheet section of black and white newspaper in to a bit of a ball and use like any other wiper. If it gets to wet it will "pill and shred" but no lint. Just grab another full sheet of the Chicago Tribune and go back to work. NEVER used colored ad paper!

OK, enough DOTing here. Bobby get those good parts from the farmer already.
