It was upwards of a 2 day battle (dam spring pins) but my eldest seems happy with her Xmas present. The lift is Dobinsons 7 leaf springs all round. I initially put in some castor correction shims...death wobble arrived at 40 mph. Scratched head....removed shims...no more death wobble. I am...
Just wondering if anyone on here has a slingbox. If so, what you think ? Thinking about this to have cable tv at the boat and maybe daughter at skewl. We have 3 fios boxes at home and from what I gather, I hook slingbox up to one and I can watch and control that selected box from anywhere...
Purchasing a 35" mud for a spare from a mudder in Raleigh. Need transport to either VaBitch or Baltimore/Philly general area. Somebody's gotta be making the shuffle this holiday season :grinpimp:
The time has come to show some love to my eldest daughter red wagon. With some help from Aseif007 (providing the excellent donor panels from rust free California), I, her wagon, and the donor panels are all together at CG's shop and it is show time. Here are a couple of pics of progress thus...

As the title says...little help. I suppose for this immediate "emergency" .... I'll be doing the 10- hr round trip to take care of the issue.....but in the future some cruiser-wise assistance and/or a recommendation of a local shop that doesn't feel the urge to bend me over would be nice...
Eldest daughter (21) texted me a few minutes ago..."Daddy there's a piggie on USA". Sure enough...it's "50 first dates". ...And she talked me into putting a lift (2.5"... she drives fast) and some 33's on her 62 wagon over Turkey Day weekend. ......and now she's talking about learning to...
A little while back I purchased a 76 40 with a sickly 302 Ford in it. Not to worry, have a happy healthy 302 on engine stand. Planning on swapping the sick for the healthy over xmas and was wondering....it appears that I can seperate it (engine) from the adaptor and pluck it out w/o having to...
I have a $50 off certificate (good till 12/31/09) from Bud Built. I am not building the :princess: FJ anytime soon so I really can't use it, but it shouldn't go to waste. Always looking for misc little crap for either the 40 or the piggies (ex. red marker lights). So, I'll trade the cert for...
Hard top, side panels, rear hatch, and cross member for sale outside (SW) of Philly. Top has been restored and recently painted in PPG DCC Concept. Side panels were sand blasted where needed, POR 15'd and primed. You can see scratches in the primer from sliding them in and out of...
Making a run this weekend (10/16) in the 80. Will have room for some stuff on the West bound portion of the show. No so much (gotta be small) coming back East as I'll be filled with my own crap. Shoot me a PM.
Just took a run to dunkin donut world and on the way on a rutted, bumpy paved road at 45ish after getting jostled a bit by the bumps and grooves...it happened :eek: Scared the s*** out of me and I don't think the dog was none too happy about it either. The soccor mom in the mini van behind me...
Well…I call it Cochon de Tere (~Land Pig) don’t know why, but I thought it needed all the help it could get. If your squeemish, turn of your puter and run away now, because this is not a swine beauty contest winner. I wish I had more progress to report on and what I do have to say is that I am...
I need some dodads to finish up and put the dash back in the latest pig revival. Specifically, I need the tailgate window switch, the rear heater switch and the choke cable. Once had, I can button it up and move on to other wish lists. Or if you were one of the peeps that bought these things...
Yes it is alive. Pig project next aka. Cochon de Tere belched fire and came to life yesterday, just prior to all the lightening cracking and jumping around the hood. I picked up this sorry little piggie from Mr. Dozier via...
Anyone have one they can post up. I found the early diagram someone (71/72) posted and searched but did not find one for a 76. Although, I think Cruiserguy said he had one that he could post. Post it if you have it !
TIA
