Re: The Colorado BS thread
FYI - Hypoid's comment on '75 and older is correct for classic plates. Colorado ditched the rolling 25 year requirement a couple years ago.
And it's worth noting that Wagoneers are great vehicles and anyone who owns one is awesome.

Re: The Colorado BS thread
unit bearing in -- 37 minutes total, disassembly and reassembly... I'm betting that's better than forecasted shop time. Speedo is again fully functional as well! :cheers:

Not to be CRUEL Chris, but I could've done it in 36 minutes.
What was the speedo fix?

Cruel PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC bastid!
Speedo was a bad ground -- I had it grounded to the cross-member, now grounded to the "frame".

Re: The Colorado BS thread
Well, maybe a little bit -- it sure fixed the near death wobble. Thanks for the balance, Joe, but I'm thinking these MTR's are worn enough that I'm just going to have to deal with the vibes until new rubber is in the budget. Does Firestone carry all brands, or just certain ones? I'm thinking 285/75r17 Duratracs...

I can get whatever you want. Tell me what you want and I can get you a price. Might not be the best price out there but I will get you a price.

Re: The Colorado BS thread
well you can't unload a rig sproting a light weight drivetrain ...the people today are looking for built 1-tons and 40-40+ tires ...if your trying to unload a rig on less than 1-tons and 40's...good luck...you will not get more than 5-6k for it most times since by todays standards it's not built ...And i see well built XJ's sell for around 10k very often ...not much more ,but yes 10k for built by todays standars on a rig that does not look like a rolling shyt missile will get more than 5-6 k ...So dana 44's high pinion 30's 8.8's...stock 9's ...you get my point on 35's is a 5k dollar rig , since maby don't see this as built today , and by the days standars it's not .

Re: The Colorado BS thread
not having a rig built to what is considered built for todays standards and has no straight sheet metal left on it will never bring more than 5k-ish ...44/9's , hp30/8.8 , And hp30/8.25 combos...or any mix of these on say 35's ...even 37's is not considered built for today ,but rather just run of the mill like a rig 10 years ago rolling on a hp30/8.25 on 31-33's ...today it's atleast built 1-tons and 40-40+ tires to be considered one of the built rigs ...it also helps to have doors that open/close with mostly straight sheet metal , and not something that looks like a cash for clunkers casualty ...also if still sporting leafs and shyt arms you are really going to have to give it away .
Not if its got 30k into it

Re: The Colorado BS thread
I was talking about something totally irrelevant to you. And there is a lot more to being built than axle and tire size. To be honest a lot of vehicle with tons under em with 40+ tires are built with no regard for clearance and drag just as much if not more than smaller axle smaller tire builds. How its executed, the goal of the rig, and a bunch of the overlooked parts make a big difference in being built to different people.
