yep I picked up the EXPs about a week or two ago! Loving them so far! Glad to hear they are still wearing well. I’m itching to get them off road tho and see how they do too but so far no complaints on road in any weather. (Snow is tbd lol)

Had fun yesterday. Wife calls me at 6:30 on her way into work saying her car is shuttering and CEL is flashing. Thankfully she made it to the hospital parking lot. Ended up changing the cylinder 2 spark plug and COP in the hospital parking lot 40mins away at high noon... fun lol ... oh and on the V6 Cylinder 2 is on the firewall side UNDER the intake manifold.

we are moving tomorrow and didn’t have time to mess around with seeing what the cause of the misfire was so I just replaced both to be done with it for now. I’ll grab pics of the spark plug but safe to say it played a major roll in the misfire id say.

Matts against winches, he's made that clear. I really think he needs one tho. At least a portable that he can connect to a receiver if needed. Yea , he could always call Casey...still, Matt should have his own.....they can really save the day.

Yea, I should comment on his site probably, -see what he says. Maybe hint to Jamie he needs one, perhaps she'll take care of it lol.
I think he has one on one of his trailers... I saw him pull up a side X side once with it. Maybe it was Casey's though?

That whole KN thing was odd but the truth is they sell a lot of the damn things.

2100... good luck on the move! It's been almost 3 years for me, and we still have crap in boxes. I said I'd never move again, but the Wife keeps saying that I need a bigger, detached garage. So.... I dunno, maybe one more time, LOL.

LOL. There's always going to be those "boxes." They're like tattoos or scars, they don't go away.

I'll be honest... I still have a Fram Air Hog (their version of a K&N) in the Mustang. I actually have also have two K&N's for the EFI Fox Body's now too. This 88 had one, and I got another one from an air box I bought from someone.

I know, not the place but I dealt with bounties in the early 80's in Columbia, Venezuela and Peru and Reagan had an immediate response. I can't believe what I'm hearing now. Then today, the EU reopens except for Americans. What is going on? Again today, the WH Press Secretary told us no one knows what's going on more than Trump while at the same time trying to convince us that no one ever told Trump about this. Talk about having your cake and eating it too!

he has a small winch on his trailer, he uses it to pull up mangled side by sides (he uses his battery jump box to power it since the solenoid broke) I should say USED since the jump box is MIA lol. I hadn’t heard him swear off winch’s for the jeeps but I did notice he never has one. I agree with jbrew he should at least have one he could mount into his receivers... but he does talk a lot about cutting weight for driving in the sand. I guess it’s never been an issue enough for him to drag one along.

we’ve got at least two more moves in our near future. We are moving in with the in laws for a month while we find a place to live. And when we find something to live in for a year or two that will be move #1. In the mean time we are looking to buy a big chunk of land (10-65acres whatever we can find) and build a house (move 2)... as much as I hate moving I hope I get to that second move soon cz I’m ready to plant some deep roots!
