How do you use that filter with 3/4-16 threads?
Special adapter?
Nope! Spin out the metric-threaded nipple from inside the oil filter adapter, spin on the SAE-threaded nipple from inside a later model oil filter adapter. Same internal thread.

Salad said it best. I got the idea from an article in some 4x4 performance magazine. Been pretty happy with it as well. Tons of choices in filters now. I swapped housings to a 96+ I believe and the adapter came from a Liberty IIRC. I went and got em from Chrysler and cost around $95 for it all. Coulda been done a lot cheaper but no complaints here.

I have finally finished putting in my lift! Just a 2" that I had in my old xj. Just spent all day installing everything. I am going to be sure to post pictures but here is just a saple size of what I what I was working with before


It was only a 2" but seems like a 6" because of how much sag there was...

I'm on shift at the fire house tomorrow and it is too dark right now. But pictures will be up soon.

I also ditched the red stripe, did an oil change, fixed my radio (the connector with the spring came undone in the passenger side kick panel) and added a license plate bracket in the rear. Looks pretty cool. I also ditched the tow hitch that was on there. Plans for a new bumper hopefully somewhere in my future.

For a device that doesn't have any sort of refrigerant in it, it gets surprisingly cold!
Enough to keep some drinks and sandwiches cold........

There is a small metal plate on the end of the cooler with the electronics in it.
It's about 2" square. That plate gets super cold after about 5 minutes of being turned on.......


Just for kicks, I plugged it in and turned the switch to warm..............
That metal plate gets hot enough to burn your hand!

After I unplugged it, and switched it off, the little LED stayed on for a while during the time the device was cooling off......................

Finally got around to ordering replacement rad hoses and PS hoses. The engine rebuild will be done soon, so I figured I might as well start gathering all the replacement parts. I'll get the t-stat local and already have the Hesco and hi-flow stat housing ready to go.

There is a part of the nipple in between the 2 threads that is sized for a wrench. Can't remember the size though

Yesterday I reinstalled my factory rear bumper I had planned on welding up a new one, but I ran out of time before the weather started getting too cold to do it The worse part is that when I took it off I kind of twisted it because I thought i was sending it out for scrap. It only took two ratchet straps and a 3 pound cross peen hammer to get it back on and it looks straighter than it did before I took it off

OK enough farting around on the computer, i have to go lay a laminate floor so I can watch the hockey game tonight.

Not today but yesterday. Went wheeling with my buddy in Big Bear. I was surprised on how much flex I got from short arms and how good I did with only 31's. Here's a few pictures.
