I have one I am parting out right now. I am one bolt away from dropping the tank, but I think it will take a torch to get it off. Got a torch? Help me drop the tank, and you can do anything you want under there, as long as I can still use the 60 axels, suspension, tcase and bell housing when you...
southern route rally points?
ryngbsn - hov lot on rt3, nlt 7:30? You can email me at d_cav (at) comcast (dot) net to confirm. I'll pm my mobile to both (no drunk dialing pls).
Land Shark - that would put us at the merge w/33 around 9:40. Not sure of anyplace to meet around there, but if...
I'll be bringing my kid (14 y/o). We are coming from Stafford/Fburg, so I'll be driving 20s/33w. We are willing to meet up w/anyone along the way. If we are cooking, I'll want to follow the chuck wagon group, since it will take me about an hour to cook up desert. I think I have the lat/long...
thx, I had checked that out already. I like the kayak straps idea - that might be easier than the angle iron brackets I was going to try to mock up tonight. Since these will be temporary until I get the bull bar, it may work better.
You inspired me - as soon as I can figure out how to do the front mounts (no bull bar, yet...), I just might be sporting some limb risers by this weekend.
Thx, glad to be back. I realised how young Sam was last time I had a rig out on the trail and that had to change. He is 14 and thinks the 40 we are building will be his for some reason.
Any decent truckstop (but I do not know of one between tyson's and alexandria). Automotive dept in Walmart? (they have wierd redneck stuff like that).
Radio shack sure aint what it was. No wonder Ted Kazinski built all his stuff from scratch.
On the a pillars, it has a handful of rust bubbles under/around the windshield, under the gasket. I'd have to wait to pull the front windshield to know how bad it is. Let me know how much a pillar you might need (both sides?), and I can make sure we cut them out keeping that in mind. I would...
I'll try to get some front bumper pics up tomorrow. It's in real good shape - just a touch of surface rust from where the cb attn was mounted, where I had a d ring hung, and a 2-3 inch scrape near the arb logo (GSMTR rock). Other than that, it looks almost new. I have all the mounting...
So if I bring the stock 08 FJC (no sliders/OEM bumpers, tires, etc.) can I be assured of returning w/o scratches and dents? (As I recall, there is enough mild stuff there where I could do that). If so, I'm a definite maybe (plus one 14yo). If I hurt the new truck, Momma wont let me come play...
Yes, and as I recall, I replaced that one not many years back. email me direct so we can work out details (d_cav@comcast.net).
For now, I'm keeping the ac stuff until I figure out what all's going on the 40.
rear bumper pics
Just a basic bumper - 2 tow points and 2 inch hitch receiver. I have 2 jeep axels I intended to cut down and add as spindels (I'll toss those in for free). If I were reinstalling it, I'd media blast it (or scothbite dics it) and hit it with a few thick layers of rust-oleum...
Cross posted from BBRC:
The old 60's frame rotted through - it's time to retire it and let some of it live on in other cruisers. I'm looking to off load mostly body parts/panels at this point (anything I can use will go on the 40). If you need a specific body panel, let me know, but I'm...
help w/springs 4 sale
I have some springs to sell at the swap meet, but I cannot be there until afternoon, since my son has a TKD belt advancement in the am. Anyone willing to take these items for me in the am? I'll provide details and pricing, if so. I'll even pick up the $10 for the...
