I have about 6 boxes of the Costco latex gloves and their quality is better than average. I keep buying them since things= at Costco have a way of disappearing right when you need them. Having a box of the nitrile gloves around for working nasty stuff is worth while if you run across them some where. They come in a box just li= ke latex. 100 gloves to a box for about $11-12 a box. They're blue BTW.

Ooops. How important is this ? I put it back just like it was. 4:30. Another thing that might be causing trouble starting is cracks in the fuel line, so the pump can't form a vacuum. << It'll probably allow you to travel another 25 ft. before vapor hits the carb anyway :-). In theory, it makes a difference so go ahead and rotate the return nipple up to the 12 o'clock position.

I expect OME to tell me that they don't make anything nearly long enough to go in the rear... Out of curiosity, where= did your National Springs come from? I've been looking for a new set, as= my GW sits low in the rear, but I don't need 3" of lift and the corresponding horrible ride. = << National Spring is a company down in So. Cal which makes custom springs. I called them up and told them I wanted 3" of lift, a soft ride, awesome articulation and I tow a 5,500 lb. trailer. In other words, I wanted my cake and I wanted to eat it too. They sent me 11 leaf spring packs front and rear. And happily charged me $1000 for the privilege of having custom springs from the best known name in off-road racing. For no= more than the same $1000, they'll build you exactly what you want as well= . There are other spring places out there which do the same. I don't know i= f the two biggest custom spring manufacturers have web sites. I do know a f= ew other URLs: http://www.espo.com http://members.carol.net/spring/ http://homepages.go.com/homepages/d/e/n/dendoff/products.html One of those links is for custom fiberglass springs. Oh the two biggest are National Spring and Valley Spring. Look in the back of old 4WD mags. and you'll eventually find both their ads. I'll get the dimension data for you over the weekend, if not sooner.

Hope all is well. Dang, it, I threw out the back end of a 78 Wagoneer... :( Of course the hinges weren't the best...

Turns out Doug (from the xj list) may not make it up to Snohomish on April 2nd (Sunday afternoon) as planned. The only person I've heard from is Alan C.

A: "I" didn't do anything, but someone has used my name in felony arrests, and I have to get it cleared up so I can get a job (I was told after my last 3 interviews they couldn't hire me because of my felony past) Think maybe that has something to do with the harrassment I've been getting from police?
