Do you have a good source for MREs? I can't get them from my new unit, and I want some for my winter kit without paying market prices lol

I need to find one here and see what they charge. Back home, the surplus store was outrageous, but I had a source for MREs by the pallet. Good times.

Walked past the XJ again this morning. It hasn't moved in a week and won't move till Friday if I can afford the alternator. The poor ZJ is being stripped.

After much procrastination I finally got my sway bar reattached disco style. Did it with quadratec end links and 10 bucks worth of clevis pins and hardware. I did get my sway bar back on a while ago, like february, but the end links both snapped and I waited a long time in between to reattach.

I pulled the plugs on the 95 to try and locate the miss.
Found it, one plug had the electrode bent way over like something hit it.
Only thing I can think of is when it got toasty hot, it loosened some carbon build up and it when through the combustion chamber and bent the electrode over.

I put my finger over the hole (Ican't find my compression gauge)and it felt very weak.

So I guess that means its getting a set of rings and bearings and maybe a piston after 250k miles.
