Doin the happy dance

[goodburbon]

Katy asked if she could have a new dog.
I told her no, very emphatically.

She decided to bribe me. So the jeep and I will be happy this winter.

Rock Krawler steering and track bar setup
Viair, constant duty OBA system.
extended brake lines.

and front gears and a locker are already on their way.:guitar:

 

[MischiefMan]

Congrats man. I'm sure the 4 of you (Katy, dog, Jeep, and you) will be happy.

Is she at least gonna rescue some poor critter that will die if it doesn't get loved??

 

[Ramsey]

Bout damn time man.

 

[scottmcneal]

[MischiefMan]

And cuter than Brandon!

 

[goodburbon]

Yep.

Well today was a waste. I decided early this morning to hit the pull a part in Lafayette for a spare housing. So I can build my ultra stupid 30 and not have my jeep out of commission for a week or 2, and just swap in the new axle when it is finished.

Pull a part had 10 xj's, 2 1986 v-6, 2 4wd, 1 that still had a front axle and hadn't been picked up onto stands yet, axle un-retrievable.

Searched for a mirror for my cousins car. 10 1999 model Taurus, 0 2002 model taurus ( the one I needed).

Searched for mirror adjustor covers for my eclipse. 5 1994 models, 1 completely stripped 1995 ( the one I needed. 1 eagle talon wrong color interior.

Searched for a chevy truck clutch hose for an external hyd clutch. Found 1 out of 10 chevy trucks with a standard tranny that still had the tranny. Spent an hour getting the hose out and found that it had a crimp and was useless.

Went to Baton Rouge for the pull a part there. Zip, zilch, nada. no 4wd xj's, 1 completely stripped 1995 eclipse, no chevy trucks with std trans, 1 2001 taurus missing mirrors and doors.


Skunked at the junkyard. The UPS man needs to hurry up and bring me some happiness in a box.

 

[MischiefMan]

2 '86's with V-6???? *perks!* Can I send you a parts list? LOL

I just gotta ask why you stripped the Eclipse though??

 

[goodburbon]

Yeah hit me with a parts list and maybe I can hit up the pull a part tomorrow.

 

[MischiefMan]

LOL...I honestly don't know what I need except the air induction tubes and valves that come out of the exhaust manifolds. Other than that, the '86 is complete....I think and ready to be made into a trail rig.

(I'm struggling between wheeling that giant tank with the 360 in it or the lil Cherokee)

 

[goodburbon]

VIAIR OBA installed today. 150 PSI baby!

 

[MischiefMan]

Very Cool!

But why have OBA on a 2WD?? LOL

 

[insanity]

Can you take a pic of the OBA? I have been wondering where it goes and what it looks like in there.

 

[goodburbon]

I made a speaker box that matches the angle of the back seat, is flush with the top and sticks out about 5 inches. I mounted it to the top of that. No room underhood and I didn't want to use any more cargo space.

 

[MrsGoodburbon]

So, he got this (and a few more things)...

And I got this

Her name is Black Betty and she is 11 weeks old.
I think I got the better end of the deal :yelclap:

 

[MischiefMan]

Hey, I have a WoW toon named Black Betty (but I'm playing AoC now)....LOL!

That's an adorable puppy...definitely better looking than the OBA system.

 

[JTBOSCO]

[MrsGoodburbon]

[goodburbon]

Woman, you'd better get off that computer and have my dinner ready by the time I get home.
