    New and in need of help.......PLEASE

    I have no clue on the kit. It might work just fine - probably cheaper than a new shaft for sure! By the way, I had an '86 GSXR 750 for four years when I was in college. I put over 40,000 miles on it before I sold it (never should have sold it). I loved that bike. Since then I've gone...

    New and in need of help.......PLEASE

    If the front prop shaft CV is going, then just replace the whole thing with a custom U-joint drive shaft... Lots of us have. I don't believe there are any manufacturers making them as a replacement part, but any driveshaft shop can whip one up. It's a common with the WJ crowd I hear...

    Only Libby in local jeep club

    J, It sure seemed like a lot to me! :) True - Tons of modified FJ's everytime we are out on the trails now. Wish there were more KJ's - but it'll never be so. And it's really a bummer that more KK's aren't being lifted. I hope they get the brake line issue resolved soon. It's still...

    Only Libby in local jeep club

    Just before last Christmas, a run was posted on another Jeep forum I belong to. The run was sponsored by a Jeep dealership so the attendance was big: over 40 Jeeps. I was the only KJ. Aside from one modified Grand Cherokee, the rest were CJ's and Wranglers. I got stuck once and had to winch...

    How Durable??

    You don't need to baby it. The front end (suspension) is far stouter than you'd imagine. Just remember that KJ's are heavy, though. You'll top/bottom out pretty easily, but it'll keep on going. Oh... never let the front end hop if you are crawling. The front diff might go PRANG. Also check...

    Stock radio have REM?

    Rem I have an REM CD in my stereo. It's Murmur... from like 1983. Does that count? Oddly I have it on cassette, too. Good thing the factory '02 stereo has a tape player. Damn. I'm getting old, but I got tunes. :) ________ OREGON MEDICAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES

    KK and KJ in the desert

    Yeah, he's stock. I have a Powertrax in the rear. My guess is that the 'systems' would allow him to crawl better up and down typically. I usually need to maintain momentum going up, and I need to really watch the brakes going down. But that's half the fun! ________ Cheap vaporizers

    KK and KJ in the desert

    KK and KJ at Butcher Jones and Bull Dog Canyon - 8/23/08 Weird to say, but an 'old school' KJ (no ABS, no ESP, no descent control) and a new KK loaded with the above went out for a morning run. Thanks AZKKPilotC182T for letting me try out the new rig. The descent control is amazing yet...

    Post your best oops pics. . .

    Oops Light rain + clay + hill + brakes instead of gas = SLIDEWAYS. Almost rolled. Notice the tire marks on the hill. Lesson learned - Just tapping the gas probably would have kept the rear from coming around. I got real lucky... Todd ________ Portable vaporizers

    AZ (PHX area) - Butcher Jones Clean-up 7/26

    We had a great turn-out. About a dozen vehicles and about 20 people. It only took an hour to clean Cove 1, then we towed-out two stolen/abandoned vehicles that were blocking the trails. We met up with the Forest Service folks who were really glad we made a difference. Here's a link to my...
