Steel, because if you mangle a wheel on a rock, you can always pound the steel out enough to get you home.

Yep

Did a little bit of wheeling Saterday and cut a sidewall on a tire. Got a new tire today. At least I have two matching on the front and two that match on the rear now.

I picked up a 92 Legacy FWD Auto with a bad diff. The tranny seems to not slip and shifts good. Could I just swap the diff with one off of another auto tranny?

Aligned my front end sunday after replacing the front knuckles, wheel bearings and a driverside tie rod. Hopfully no more funky tire wear.

Mount it in the hatch area. There are a few folks around here that have there XJ's set up that way. These are dedicated mud rigs, and these guys don't have glass in the hatches. I would think with the rad on the roof, you would still have problems with mud and crap getting into the radiator and causing problems.

Around here most guys mount the radiators in the back of their mud rigs, with electric fans for air flow

Replaced wheel bearing in the front end, and used different knuckles, because this car seems to eat wheel bearings. Also replaced the driverside tierod. Ran out of daylight, so I have to wait untill tomarrow to align the front end.

New front brake pads And found that my pass. side wheel bearings on the way out again, so I'm going to clean up these other knuckles I have around and see if I can get this thing to quit eating front wheel bearings.

Turn up the stereo. That worked the best on my EA82.

Replaced another junk reman alt. with one from a different supplier. Also replaced a fused link because the junk alt was blowing the main fused link

The bearings don't need to be pressed in. You can tap them in.

Bump the startedrand breaker bar method works every time.

Well, went and had the alt checked and it was bad. Kept tripping their machine. This is what was happening when this happened a few years back. Got another alt from the parts place down the street. I'm going to pull the fuses and see what happens before I put this thing back together. I want to be sure that it was just a bad alt, and nothing else fried.

Heading home from work yesterday, car was running great. Pulled out from a stop sign, ran up to about 50, everything was good, then nothing. No dummy lights, no ingnition, nothing. The only thing that works is the horn. Pull off the road, and check the main black fuse. Its done. Grabed a spare thinking it might have just been old and brittle, made sure that the ing was off and nothing was on, stuck it in the spades, and it turned red instantly and burned up. checked the spades with a voltmeter and had constant power. Now I don't know if that is normal. Ended up getting a tow. Checking things out today, I have continuity from the + side of the fuse to ground. Also have continuity from the ignition from inside the car. I have unpluged about every conection I could trying to isolate the problem area with no luck. I have the battery unhooked and the alt is out of the car, and I am still getting continuity from the same spots I was before. At this point I am lost. I am going to have the alt. checked tomarrow, as I have had an alt. cause this before a few years back. Am I heading in the right direction? I can figure most stuff out, but when it comes to electrical, anything much more than basic stuff, I start to get lost a little bit

My mom has a 92 Legacy that has this mystery click also. Has had this noise on and off for the past 15 years or so. Everything works just fine, and it hasn't gotten any worse or any better. Really isn't anything to worry about, when it starts making the mystery noise turn the radio up.

Go new. The rebuilds ain't worth crap anymore. Was doing a Master Cylinder for a fellow just a couple weeks ago and got three bad rebuilds right out of the box. After the third one I ordered a new one and had no problems.

Hang on to the Wagon, and fix what needs fixin now that you got another set of wheels. Free is a great price for a Taurus.

Years ago I was helping a friend of mine change out the oil pan gasket and a few other gaskets on his old '70 FJ40. A case of beer and a bottle of whiskey we had it together with a few snaped off bolt heads from the pan. Filled her back up with oil, fired her up and pulled out of the garage to watch oil run out of the engine faster than you could dump it back in. We ended up doing the job all over the next night, fixing all of the major ***-ups, without the booze.

Replaced the air filter today, and picked up a fuel filter.

Got the back of my wagon cleaned up and organized. I can put the back seat up now! Cleaned the windows, and not just the windshield and front two, but all the windows. Its amazing how grimey the back windows were.

Got a new tire to replace the one I blew out last saterday 4wheeling in the snow.

Had an awesome snowstorm firdaynight and saterday (doesn't happen much in central NC) and went playing in the snow. Ended up blowing out a tire bouncing off a tree root climbing an ice hill up at the local trail.

Why don't you try to chase the threads with a 10x1.25 tap and see if it will hold the studs. If you have a tap, and the right size studs its worth a shot. If worse comes to worse, cut the heads off some bolts to make new studs.

Everything sounds normal to me. Mine will bang occaitionaly when going into 2wd because it gets a little bound up. It has done it with new tires or missmatched tires. Its normal. If it goes into 4wd when you push the button and goes into 2wd when you push the button again, its working.
