I agree 100% that personal lists made public can get outdated, as I found out doing the brakes/ seals on my HJ. A sticky maintained by the form(HJ in this case) could easily be kept up and at the fingertips of members. We would not have to ask the same questions or search through past posts to find the info. I would volunteer to be an assistant administrator on the HJ sticky so posts on it would only be about the parts list.
What is the objection to having a sticky? Is it a maintenance issue?
