Yo'J

Dude! Mad fab skilz! I could make mine look like that but only out of wood!

For camping in the back of either ea81 or ea82 you had better be short. The ea82 have just an inch or two larger cargo area but both are just under six feet for flat area. In my 82' wagon, I tore out my rear seats and decked to back out in ply that folds down when the seats are forward for space. That might be an option for you if you only plan on having a two seater.

I always heard it was bad and caused poor mileage but not more emissions or premature part failure. The government has our purse strings anyway on the gas front with our ten million safety features and big car bs. Whats up with economy cars? Seen a small truck lately? Worried about led and mercury in the fish and you want an electric car? We had a 56' morris minor once and it was getting 50mi to the gal. I though humans were getting smarter? Anyhoo, I thank you for sharing.

I'll bet if you'd fix it, you'd be prouder than snot even if no one could see it. Its a mad max world out there and your not building rocketships to the moon, yet. Id say if the car is worth it to you, do it. You gonna hurt your feelings? What do you want to upgrade back there? EA82 right?

Whats the toll on the local wildlife like? You think the ash has killed all in its path or are things just waiting to pop up after the assault is over? We really havent heard much over here besides the uk not flying and african flowers dying. Any concerns?

Wow! Those last shots are bloody amazing! What did you and your friends do? Run into the dust cloud and snap a few then run like lightning so as to not get hit by lightning?! Fantastic! Give praise to the guys holding the camera! Wow!

It might not be oem but I used a corresponding o-ring from the local store and it was just too big in the right way and sucked down pat. I got the 5pack for 2bucks.

Nice Work! Especially getting pulled over right away! Good thing manners work huh?! Fun engine? I love it in my brat.

Cmon...

I love it. Bumpersticker time!

Oh, Pedal.....I mis read.

I thought these motors needed a thin oil to pump the lifters and a thicker oil wouldn't do that, am I wrong?

I'd hope cleaner would break down a clog but ruparts might be right especially if it doesn't ever stop after it started. Wouldn't a clogged lifter be kind of intermittent? If you got a good seal on your oil pump and good pressure, are running 10-30w and its intermittent, I'd bet its a chunk o funk blocking a lifter. Can you use a tube or a screwdriver to your ear to pick out the lifter? I don't know how to even imagine the oil lines inside of an ea81 engine or where the oil goes besides in the fill spout and around my oil pan gasket to my drive way. I've only done a valve adj on an ea81. Farthest I'd gotten one apart yet. Yet!

I had an inner tierod that was loose on the steering rack do that intermittently, really only at freeway speeds and when braking. Of course it was under the rack boot and the last thing I checked after bearings and brakes, scratching my head going WTF? I found PO homespun plyer marks all over the crimp washer and not tightened all the way or fully bent down.

On my ea81, If there was something I would change on my lift, I would have moved the front up an inch over the rear. I have a 2" but a 3"/2" would have made all the difference to me.

I just did the swap and I think you will be fine with the diagrams you have. Everyone is here to help!

Hey GD, I want $65 axles. Where? They rape you up here. Looked into distys lately?

Mine have sounded like a fist hitting a bag of potato chips for a year now. I got one new (1 yr old now) mwe axle and one junkyard oem axle. Same prob. Only at the right (correct) angle turn I get "the noise" from either one. Its been a year and I have three extras and I'll do the exchange myself. One in the car at all times. It scares passengers! My boots are perfect though, with new grease. The boots are like ten bucks and a jy axle $18, remaned mwe or noname $150+/-(and mine sucks, I thought it was the other one, but, NOOOOO! Its both!), dealer $220+/- but new.

I do believe there is no "All" in this scenario.

No! Its the leg of one under the Jeep!

Now thats where you'd put your screen name! Nice looking!

Dude, they are cute, admit it. Thats not an addiction. I'm on six, but, I had to put 3 to sleep. (Organ donors) They lived on. Welcome!

I guess thats where the carpenter you "trust" comes in. I know, in "this" world we live in? Ya know, you live in an area where carpentry is, or can be, (I should say) an art. More carpenters live by that,... rule, (you could call it) east, than anywhere west. Time could be your issue. I'd like to think, "What would I rather be doing?" But I"m a carpenter who is always working on "other peoples" stuff and not my own.

Think dark, dark grey or close to black crackle paint with a hot pink underlay! I really wish I could do a crackle paint on metal to weather. On wood, I have a hard time getting it to wear in the house without sprayed lacquer and i don't have a booth for that.

Host up some pics! What kind ofVW?
