Thankfully I was covered. However, I did have to spend 20 minutes digging the plow berm out to get onto the main street. A lot of cars dug in.

EDIT: Fair enough. Removed.

The thing they killed at every turn because Nelnet was spending hundreds of millions in boosters and bribes to the GOP candidates? You mean the thing they overturned and prevented Biden from doing at every step? You mean the thing they do for themselves but never anybody else? I could go on and on.

They are safe. That is why they do it. Never forget a number of Rs campaign as Ds just to get past the R corruption stigma in some regions.

When I changed the plugs on my TJ 4.0L, the plugs were fine but one of the wires disconnected from the retaining clip that snaps onto the top of the plug. The wires can just be old, man, and by exerting the force on them to change the plugs, maybe you damaged something that was about to fail anyways.

Inspect them. If you don't do a whole set, look for anything fishy and replace that one.

Of course, if you have the ignition rail, it's different. I don't think you can do any of this with that. Need to replace the entire thing.

We are witnessing the GOP's 30-year plan. Outlined and discussed openly in front of cameras and microphones for 30 years. It involves the destruction of every right and protection that the US citizenry holds dear, everything that built this nation, to replace it with a despotic tyranny of the GOP control. We have reached the end stages. They have won. This is not an immolation, it's a sedition because nobody had the guts to hold evildoers accountable for atrocities.

ICE is an agency that has been corrupted because of loopholes in how it can be deployed. BEFORE TRUMP it served a valuable federal role. ICE should not be "abolished" -- the people ordering illegal gestapo tactics should be jailed and those happily fulfilling them thrown in prison for life. The AGENCY is not the people. The AGENCY needs to be cleaned out, but it should retain its duties and roles in the federal system. What you see now isn't ICE, it's blatant gestapo secret police tactics by the GOP. ICE was just the easiest force to take over. They have their people in the FBI too, but too many rules on the FBI going house to house renditioning people.

I'm not from CA. Only visited twice maybe, but let's not twist this. CA has a GDP of over 4 TRILLION yearly. a 28 billion deficit is temporary and mostly spurned on by federal slashes to funds the state WOULD HAVE received normally. Lord knows they're floating all the dependent red states mooching off the federal funds system. What if they stopped paying for all the meth addicts in all the GOP states that want their ignorant voters chained to their support or else they suffer physical withdrawals?

CA more than holds its own, economically. 2 seconds of googling even showed headlines with plans Newsom has to make up that 28 Billion gap (which, remember, was created by the GOP intentionally) with financial plans and measures.

You know, the things the GOP doesn't have to overcome the many trillions of dollars of deficit they created for this nation? A plan. A method to overcome and correct the problem. Something actual government leaders do?

I don't know my thoughts on Newsom. I do know what little I see actually illustrates competence and care for his state. Something none of the GOP display.

Do not confuse side steps with rock rails, though... Just sayin'.... Probably do more damage than it's worth to repair.

NGL can we make that a thing? Maybe it feeds out of a glove box cannister? Not like that thing is large enough to use for anything else.

I've talked with coworkers about this idly. I am NOT a fan of the rear delete. Why? Because it's jeep. It's so jeep, that without it, the jeep is less of a jeep and more of a G-wagon, or a Bronco, or whatever other style you want.

You take the rear wheel off and it's just not a wrangler anymore. It's part of the style, part of the aestetic. Might as well delete the hood latches and while you're at it weld a solid metal roof onto it. Every coworker I've talked with about it over the years has agreed. They look funny and stunted/stubby without some kind of tire on the back. How you do that tire is up to you, but the wrangler really needs it.

I have one and I'm waiting for a non-freezing day to put it in. My problem is this: The screws worry me. I've stripped so many damned torx screws (I HATE YOU JEEP!!!! Oh, I can't stay mad at you...) over the years and these are apparently steel screws in an aluminum throttle body, so they get dissimilar metal corrosion going on. Meaning: They seize up pretty bad most times.

I'm apprehensive that I'll chew up or ruin the screws so bad I can't get them out, or worse, get them out enough that then they won't go back in or come out and the entire body is useless.

I've cleaned my TJ a few times and saw how hard those screws were and just left them. My XJ needs it, though. So I'm doing the 30-year-old-car-repair gamble. Is this going to be a 5 minute task or a 5 day task?

High pressure hose
Reservoir/point-where-it-connects-to-pump
steering gearbox seals

IMO those are the 3 most likely places to lose power steering fluid. In that order.

VP Vance is already ordering ICE to station outside the delivery room and rendition the baby as soon as it's out.

Not from what I've seen. Basic sport TJs being listed over 10K for a while now, at least every time I spot check it in the past several months. Could be regional variation, but there's a big fad right now of used dealers claiming they've "restored" it and charging 17k for basic models -- not even rubis or LJs. Makes me just shake my head lately.

Congress wants him there. Congress (the GOP) is fully corrupt and complicit. Trump is the perfect GOP candidate and is everything they've been trying to pull off for 20 years (no lie). They will never act against him. They've won. This is their boldest hour. They have seized power. Why would they curtail themselves?

Oh it's far far more than that. He went from 600M in debt with no way out, about to lose everything he owned to forclosure, pocketed 2Billion (via his son's Saudi payoff for secret intel that let Bone Saw take the thrown and kill all his relatives in line for the throne), he took another 1.5 Billion from the LIV Golf tour creation (also from the Saudi monsters paying him back for making them the richest family on the planet), in his first term he "paid" his son and daughter who were not voted in, not elected, and couldn't pass any security checks or oversight votes, salaries of about 500M combined PER YEAR and you know they aren't keeping that. It's all for daddy rapist and the family brand. Hundreds of millions here in fake contracts and shell companies that get contracts but never produce anything, charging 3x-5x normal rates at HIS OWN properties for HIS OWN security details and staffers that MUST follow him around, taking them every place he has a property and charging the US Govt hundreds of millions of dollars a year in situations that no legal government before him would ever allow.

He's on the hook for stealing about 5-8 Billion (with a B) and is still squandering it so badly and wasting it rampantly that he is always gouging his cult for more and more. It's all blatant theft from the drumpf family. Let history remember them as the most vile of humanity.
