I hate the ones that have the auto-dim feature because they blind you until you are right up on them.  Still not as bad as the idiots that ride around with brights on 100% of the time.

Rambling, Malarky, Rants, Etc... / Bright Headlights

Here's my latest rant...  I'm so tired of these super-bright LED headlights.  Also tired of the multitude of drivers lately that are driving with high beams on all the time.  I wish law enforcement would at least enforce the laws on the books.

glad you found the problem.  man, when you decide you're going to do something, you're fast!  I probably would have suggested pulling the tub, but sounds like it went pretty smoothly just dropping the transmission.  glad to hear.  good luck!

the jeep that I am currently restoring will have a Kubota power plant, but other than that, it will be mostly stock.  one thing I would like to do, however, is add power steering.  does anyone have any experience with this.  any info or pics would be greatly appreciated.

later on, I will be in the market for some sheet metal for my 3A.  the main things I will be needing is floor pans, passenger rear fender body panel, cargo area pan, and the hat channel for driver and pass sides.  I was looking at what classic enterprises has to offer.  has anyone bought from them, or heard anything about them.  I'm wanting quality parts.  not interested at all in sub-standard parts no matter how inexpensive they are.

this probably isn't the case, but the further away the splits in the upper and lower rings are from 180 degrees apart, the better the chance to get some blow by, therefore reducing power.  just a thought.

I like the first aid storage box idea.  I've got several of those things lying around.  I think I might do something like that.  I already had it in mind to employ the ammo box thing.
