Hopefully this post will deal with the issues of the thread and just let people get on with the " how dare you " comments.

On the contrary. That would appear to be your interpretation and a much harsher comment than anything I ever intended. On many occasions I have stated my appreciation of Go Jeeps site and recommended it to others.

Go Jeeps site has always been my first point of reference - particularly as it provides the terminology to use when searching threads on AJOR for other peoples..experiences..with the same repairs. Go Jeeps knowledge is an invaluable source of reference, as is everybody elses repair writeups and knowledge.

Its the constant posting of a private internet site address in response to posts asking for different or updated, current information or experiences which has prompted this thread - Particularly when I have made it known on several occasions in the past, that I have been referencing Go Jeeps site. Its enough to make you think that the posting of the site link is more important than the posts questions or content.

Sometimes you just gotta do some work yourself rather than rely on others.

No....You've got it wrong too. See the comment above as to why this thread was started.

My posted requests have been for information, further to that all ready provided in both
Go Jeeps site and previous posts on AJOR....If you read my posts, they dont say....Help - my extractors are cracked, what do I do..... they are a request for additional information from past to present....This then allows me " to do some work myself " so as to formulate the best and most cost effective repair I can. The results of my experience, costs, alternative parts etc. will then go in the AJOR info bag along with everbody elses for the next person to piece together and use to their benefit.

Best if you read it again if your going to quote the posts and get it wrong. Just use the links I provided - to ensure that sort of thing didnt happen - and copy the content.

My question was.............Any body got part numbers for them for Repco / Bursons purchase.
Go Jeeps response was....See my write up as has all the details there.

( My thought at the time of his post was - damn, I must have missed them, but I hadnt )

RodXJ then provided me with the info that the replacement plugs are stamped with the size.
Go Jeep then confirmed RodXJs info.

I already had the indication they were 2" from Go Jeeps site. Given the variation from metric to imperial on these things, not to mention variations in components per model, I was looking for confirmation prior to placing an order.

Whilst that might not seem important to those living in the 'burbs - A 6hr round trip including lunch and waiting time at sales counters to get the wrong part, is not my idea of a fun day out.

Further to that...If I posted up a repair of some sort and stated I used a certain sized item without part number reference etc., you would be prepared, to get your preferred repairer over in the next town, to order that item and then take the risk you didn't get stranded there for days, with a stripped down vehicle, while the correct parts were ordered ?????
