('83) and if I recall correctly it was made the same month he was born... (or that was one of my mercedes, can't remember and haven't seen my J10 up close for over four years now... ;) john ---- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** http://JohnMeister.com **** http://wagoneers.com ** Snohomish, Washington USA - where Jeeps don't rust, they mold ** http://freegift.net *** http://greatcom.org/laws/languages.html ** - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Nov 2005 22:27:24 -0800 (PST) From: john Subject: fsj: list history and a new toy?

I started chatting with the list founders on usenet in the early part of '95. or maybe it was in '94... but I think we formed the original list 1995. I've found early digests on Tehabi (the third manifestation of the FSJ list dated in early '97) and early digest.net digests from Dec '97. I was looking for a history summary that one of the original list members had compiled for me... it's somewhere... probably got lost when my server took the summer off... will have to find a copy on CD... FOUND THIS though: 1. John Meister and Mike Lacher meet on rec.autos.4x4 circa spring 1995 2. Mike Lacher posts "Wagoneer Owners UNITE" on rec.autos.4x4 circa 1995 3. Mike and John meet up with SuperKen, Michael Baxter and so on June 1995 4. FSJ charter members assemble Fall 1995, emails via "cc" 5. http://wagoneers.com/FSJ/FSJ-charter.html 6. http://wagoneers.com/FSJ/fullsize.html 7. late 1995 Zynet.com offers list service and webspace 8. late 1995 john starts HTML home page on compuserve.com 9. Zynet disappears, spring 1996, resort to "cc" emails via john's eudora 10. Tehabi.com offers list service 11. John takes on role at Off-road.com Jan 97 as FSJ editor, moves FSJ list in Aug 97 12. John quits ORC in Nov 97, banned from FSJ list by list server owner 13. John forms new list on digest.net and lives happily ever after 14. http://www.wagoneers.com/FSJ/FSJ-list.html >-->On other fronts, I may be geting into a nonturbo 1981 300CD, and getting closer to the biodiesel processor. cool. I still like the looks of the 300CD. the non turbo 3.0l should get low to mid 20's in town and high 20's on the road... >-->Karl >--> >-->http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=8546710&uid=1677036 >--> >--> >-->--------------------------------- >--> Yahoo!

Yeah, I've never tried that one, but my impression was that pretty much any grilles are interchangeable except for the mid-'70s Wagoneer with the turn signals in the middle of the grille, like mine: http://dan.black.org/74Wag/74Wag-front.jpg Note that besides the turn signal lights being in the way of other grilles, the area used for turn signals by other FSJs is covered there. http://dan.black.org/88GW/88GW-front2.jpg Anyway, I'm pretty sure that other than that, the J-truck grilles were the same sizes. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I read recipes the same way I read science fiction.
