I'm not sure I like ABS though... :) Came down the first part of the drive and hit the brakes and didn't slow down... abs kicked in... but didn't slow down... even in neutral... finally tossed it into reverse and THAT stopped me... :) Not cold enough for the mud to freeze, trying to get Mark's Cherokee started so I can fix the exhaust manifold for him... he's out with his Fairlane and we're fearing for the picket fence on his return... (Old Blue - (my '81 Wagoneer Ltd) wiped out the fence in a snow in 1996(?). We finally rebuilt it this summer... john - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.WAGONEERS.com/ Snohomish, WA - where Jeeps don't rust, they mold... jesus, don't leave life without him, please! - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 26 Jan 2002 19:51:10 -0800 From: john Subject: 460 V8 / C6 transmission... My son has decided to sell his Ford 460 V8 with the C6 transmission. It's from a '74 Montego. It's a 4v. Unknown miles, but was from a running vehicle and assumed a strong runner. It's north of Seattle, Washington, sitting in our trailer, will deliver within 200 miles, and will make a good deal on my shop crane too... make an offer... it has to go... thanx, john - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.WAGONEERS.com/ Snohomish, WA - where Jeeps don't rust, they mold... jesus, don't leave life without him, please! - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 27 Jan 2002 12:25:18 -0600 From: Jim & Barb Hoffman Subject: Re: Wisconsin Diesel Benz Gathering??

Turns out the front tire was leaking on the gash that's been there since we've had it... SOOOOO... need new tires. That means I'll have three good Yokohoma GeoLander H/T's to sell to the best offer in a day or two. Great tires on wet road and on the interstate, but marginal off-road, wet grass mud and just so-so in snow. They are 245/70 R16s, email me off list if you're interested in them. I can take pix of the tread left. Trying to decide between Michelin LTX M/S (like I have on the '77 Cherokee, originally had them on the little wagoneer or the new Michelin Cross Terrains. Does anyone have the Michelin Cross Terrains? recommended or not? I'm not sure if the LTX A/T's (like I have on SuperDawg)are available in the size for a '99 WJ grand cherokee or not. I'd also consider BFG AT Ko's. The Costco Kirkland brand are made by BFG... anyone try any yet? I'm leaning toward the Michelin LTX M/S's. Mostly a street Jeep... the Cross terrains for four are $574.42 the LTX M/S's for four are $496.08 let me know, will head to Discount tire tomorrow... snowing pretty good right now, heading out to fix the exhaust on the '77 Cherokee for my son and put snow tires on the daughter's buick... :) Yeah, like that's going to help her get out of our driveway... rofl... john - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.WAGONEERS.com/ Snohomish, WA - where Jeeps don't rust, they mold... jesus, don't leave life without him, please! - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2002 03:28:30 -0500 From: "mike" Subject: Re: Atlanta, GA MB gathering!!! Hi everyone...I'm planning to have a little gathering this Sunday in the midtown area of Atlanta, GA...any Atlanta people out there? I know, I know....it's Superbowl Sunday, but who's playing?....Who?....hahaha...That's what I thought. :) No offense to any fans of those teams...I'm just not a football fan myself. Location: My roommate is co-owner of a nice coffee shop with a good-sized parking lot behind it. Plenty of space, plenty of caffiene, plenty of munchies. Anyone who would like to come please e-mail me: mikemover-at-mindspring.com , or reply on-list if you'd rather. I can give you simple directions. I'm thinking 12 noon until ???--whenever we get bored with it. :) This Sun. Feb. 3rd. I also am on a couple other mailing lists/message boards, and have invited some people from those as well. Should be a lot of fun! E-mail me soon if you'd like to come, so we can know approx. how many cars to expect. Mike 79 300SD, ivory/palomino--242,000 miles and counting!.... ------------------------------ End of diesel-benz-digest V1 #703 *********************************
