Since when does HomeDepot not carry hardly any metric hardware? My buddy left a brand new set of locking lugs at my shop so I am going to use them for my spare and my jack. They are tapped 12-1.5mm and depot didnt have any fine thread metric lol and the associates there are as useful as **** flavored lollypops so I gotta run to Robnet today to pick some up.

I know there is junk out there but you can usually tell when you look at it. I just refuse to pay sometimes twice the price for the same part that is in a mopar box, or honda box or whatever. My sister has a '98 ZJ and one of the rear regulators went up. Mopar wanted $400 for the regulator without a motor. I found them online for $160 with a motor. They are both Dorman products, why so much from the dealership? The parts guy *no offense* could never give a viable answer.

So it must be something older than my current issue.

Thanks Jon, yes the event is being held by F&S racing on private property in Hagerstown. They have a few trails, a nice mud pit and a rock garden. It was a blast last year and I hope more of us show up this year. It's $15 per driver and $10 per spectator. Kids under 12 are free. The drivers meeting starts at 9:30 and wheeling starts at 10. I believe I read food will be available for purchase. I'm going to pack lunch for me and the kids. We are going to meet in Frederick at the homedepot on rt. 40w. Then we will hang out for a few and do a quick m&g, then we will convoy to Jimmy's house in Hagerstown, as this will be a great place to limp back to if repairs are neccessary. I would bring cash. It's on someone's property and the only atm is a few miles away at the gas station.
Xjnewbiegirl see above.

Is yours the wire type or is it a scissor type? scissor type prolly just needs a good lube. The ones in hers are the wire type so there isnt much you can do but try and get some lithium down the wires.

this trick will work with pretty much any search box (including google and craigslist)

type the search item, say "cherokee", but add a "-word" for anything you don't want to include in the results.

So you would type in "cherokee -grand" for your search


There are a TON of search modifiers you can use in google and other search engines - using them can severely cut down on the time it takes to find something. 90% of the questions i answer came just from searching google with the correct modifiers

home depot sucks ***** for hardware. ACE is best, but Lowe's does a pretty decent job as well.
