Two of our forum members have decided to take a little trip in their flat fenders. Paul and Evan are "Dueling Flatfenders", maybe coming to a town near you. Be sure to check their blog so you can keep up with their progress.

Forum is upgraded and new theme

29 Jun 08

I've upgraded our forum to the latest vBulletin version and installed a new theme. Members so far report that it seems faster and more responsive. Also the gallery was upgraded last weekend after being off-line for a short while.

In honor of Memorial Day here in the States

26 Mar 08

What better way to honor our veterans than with vintage photos from WWII?

KCJEEP recently gave me some hard copies to scan of photos from a friend of his, who will remain unnamed at KCJEEP's request.

I've uploaded the three images that Kevin provided me last weekend for us all to enjoy, in the Vintage Photos section of the gallery

Density Altitude Adjustment

4 Mar 08

Jayhawkclint took the time to set down and write up an article on density altitude adjustments of carburetors. It's an interesting read and not hard to understand and it's well worth understanding.

You can find it here.

Few updates to the website

15 Feb 08

In addition to the usual mayhem in the forum I've actually done a few things to the page lately.

I've added a few more links in the transmission and transfer case section, the SM420 swap page, and fixed the RSS autodetection in the classifieds.

1969 Owners Manual

19 Jan 08

Mortten saw the '60 Owners Manual so he scanned the 1969 Owners Manual for us as well so we could see just how much Jeep had changed their methods by then.

It is interesting to compare the two manuals.

Thanks Mortten!
