That is a good point about the screws and bolts on the Jeep. I had one of those and a little S15 p/u, changing the headlight on the truck reqd 4 different tools to get off 4 different fasteners -- torx, philips, flat, and I think a hex head. That right there encapsulates the American auto

Actually most of the stuff on fishbowl is hex head (thankfully) Make me an offer ;) It is a good project jeep; I don't like the sound of the engine, but it has a GOOD bumper (from custom 4x4 fabrication IIRC) and a Gibson stainless exhaust system... Oh yeah it needs a windshield seal... and a

No I think they were US made, or Canada maybe, weren't imports (that was the predecessor, the LUV if I recall, which maybe was a rebadged ricer of some sort). It was an 83, right after they came out. But US engineered. I don't know where they are made now. --R Jim Cathey wrote: S15 p/u,

Re: [MBZ] special bolts

Yeah that sounds about right. Mine had the V6 (3.8L I think?) 4spd auto in it and it was pretty peppy, but the tranny hunted like crazy and the engine started stalling for reasons that never became clear to me. It would stall out, then I would have to wait an hour or so (just enough time to

Hello all, I'm sure that all W124 and 1986-1991 W126 owners know that it's a PITA to RR the two bulbs that light up the ACC PBU unit. In the past I used superglue on a small piece of plastic tubing to extract each bulb. This works, but I've found a better way. I discovered that the wiring sheath
