Impact driver...Anybody working on imports (I think still applies, dunno for sure) would need one before they even thought about working on it

I now have my first import. 92 Miata. J-vin, sailed over on a barge. I haven't had to do much work on it yet but most of the small fasteners so far have been Torx. Still, I suppose I should finally invest in some nice JIS cross drivers...and an impact driver...

I'm talking about motorcycles...isn't this a motorcycle forum? (unless otherwise directly stated)

i have one for the evil windsheild frame bolts on my wrangler. try to budge them without an impact driver and you'll be in the strip club... getting the pole.

True. "Import" makes me automatically think cars for some reason. I really don't have much interest in import bikes. My son has an 86 Yamaha that I've helped him with. Nothing against them, really. They just don't stir my soul.

You take the windshield off for top-off running? Do they still fold down? I always wanted a Wrangler. Had an 87 Cherokee Sport that I loved but my commute fuel bill was killing me. It traded it. Got $500 (over 250k miles and over 15 ys old at the time) Should have just kept it. almost 20 years later, I still regret selling it.

used to do it all the time... you NEVER want to drive through rain like that though. it's like someone throwing gravel in your face. was really stupid looking back on it but, fun.










i love that thing. 196K and still just as solid as day one. invincible... driven it across the country 4 times, saved my life several times. i love my tj!
















sorry... i love my jeep! best money i ever spent on a vehicle. it's like a family member

If you're not having fun and making questionable decisions, you got no business owning a Wrangler!

I commited to buy a nice surplus WWII Jeep when I was 16. Got the cash ($400) and went over to the guy's house and he had sold it out from under me the day before. Still kinda pisses me off.
