Hi guys, looks like lots of old friends are still here, lots of new folks also. Figured I'd just do one post and catch all of you at once.
First off to Hawkeye, fair is fair buddy.
Bob, Yep, I do remember sending a set to you.
Mike glad to see you're still around, hope life is treating you well
Dan, you're right the YJ/TJ/XJ are probably one of the best built, most reliable, longest service life vehicles ever built in the good old USA. The XJ is just like a 245 in its "feel" the main difference is it will go just about anywhere.
Swedish Baklava, glad the site is still helping people, I think about letting it go every year (when the bill comes ;-) but keep it up for sentimental reasons. The guy in that video should be horse whipped, on obstacles like that dogs should be either secured by a harness and short leash clipped into the seat belt receiver. Dylan is always secured even on mild trails and is out of the jeep on the harder stuff.

Benski, You're dead on, I shouldn't have been surprised, when I picked up the 1800s out of my old neighbors yard I hauled them home on a trailer, then put a battery in the '67, hooked up a hose and 1gal can of fuel, changed the oil and fired it right up. It had sat for over 10 years.
Hi Dave
Just curious, after having spent some time with the venerable Jeep straight 6, how does it compare to the B230F in your opinion. I have heard it compared favorably in both reliability and longevity.
Rod
Rod those 4.0L I-6 engines are just as indestructible as a red block and even have a couple of advantages. They're iron block and head, have a timing chain and are dead nuts simple to work on. All the torque is low down where you need it and they go 300K+ with ease. The saddest day for Jeep was when the emissions/mileage demands of modern cars exceeded the limits of their design.
