    Voyage of The Black Gypsy

    I don’t need no steenkeeng brakes. I use engine compression and gears to retard unwanted forward motion. It’s what men of iron will and grit do

    As I don’t know what I don’t know about locks & keys, I’d ask the locksmith what your options are

    1977 Cherokee Chief Project Begins...

    Awesome project. Even better that it was your father’s. I love the two door wide track Cherokees, especially with the 401. They’re beasts and will go anywhere! I wish I never got rid of mine.

    Stripped down the rear carrier to get it ready for 4.88 gears. The bearing puller kit made removing the bearings a breeze!

    Tools I Wish I’d Known About Before

    Bought a carrier & pinion bearing puller off Amazon. Along with the Milwaukee impact gun, pulling the bearings off the diff was a snap!

    Steeper descents dangerous behavior

    Point to you. As an aircraft technician, I have to try and interpret squawks written by pilots who have no idea how to structure a sentence or spell and figure out why they grounded the airplane. To save time, I get to the meat of the matter and ignore the rest. In this case it’s “Engine RPMs...

    But but but compression braking is retarded!

    Steeper descents dangerous behavior

    Translation: “Because I said so.” If it is retarded, you should be able to defend your position.

    Steeper descents dangerous behavior

    Ha! No, I’ve never had the brakes on my JK fail from heat. I learned to not ride the brakes on long descents to prevent them from getting that hot. Point to you. That’s not to say using engine compression & gearing doesn’t have other benefits, such as greater control in certain situations.

    All right- what makes it retarded?

    Steeper descents dangerous behavior

    Because it never happens to you, it never happens. Something in this thread is retarded and it ain’t compression braking.

    Steeper descents dangerous behavior

    When off-road, I select a gear that lets me descend without relying on the brakes, whether the rig has an automatic or a manual. Brakes are used sparingly to prevent over-speeding, ease the rig over drop offs and prevent overheating the brakes on long descents. Under most circumstances...

    Voyage of The Black Gypsy

    The rear axle housing is bent and twisted and I think that's why the gears were damaged. I don't what obstacle I was on when it happened but I bet I was having fun! Probably while trying to keep up with rigs on 37s & 40s. Picked up a used rear axle and took it and the front to Twisted to have...

    Show Off Your Guns!

    I know some switched on guys. None carry their handgun in Condition 3 (empty chamber). Nor do they recommend anyone else do so. Too many things can go wrong trying to rack a round into an empty chamber when reacting to violence. That said, you are the captain of your ship. You are responsible...
