I have old-school 10' fiberglass (which is really funny to watch idiots touch it n scream) whip antenna with an old-school Cobra Cb. Works great. Have a splitter on the end where both my CB and UHF/VHF radios are hooked to it.
Why do they scream? Electrified by the antenna?
No, I don't lick fish.

Quick question.
I haven't really driven my 1989 xj in the 5 years working on it.
Since December on a few trips...
Oil leaking like crazy, easy fix, needed a new oil pan, installed, still leaking.
discovered the loose valve cover from previous owner.
I am picking up a new gasket today should stop the massive amounts of oil everywhere.
My question;
Was the loose valve cover responsible for my low oil pressure reading? (or is this wishful thinking)

this might be a noob question that comes up a lot but I can't seem to find an answer. Are there any shocks that I can safely run at stock height as well as with a 2-3" lift?
I need new shocks and pretty soon I'm going to need to replace the rear springs and eventually tires. I haven't decided if I want to just keep everything stock ride height or just buy a full lift kit soon. I'm trying to find out what my options are.

Stock shocks from a JK Wrangler will fit with 2-3" lift and may fit without any, but I can't confirm the latter. They can be had cheaply, though, from people who lift their new JKs.

yeah I'd rather be safe than sorry. Thanks.
Thinking about it I might just get some new stock leaf springs and down the road get an RE 2" add-a-leaf when it comes time for new tires.
Is Crown considered a good stock replacement? I'm willing to pay for quality and I desperately try to avoid paying for hype.
