Help

[rjstiles]

Howdy,

I need some help and I was wanting to see in anyone was interested.

I was in a wreck and am stuck in a wheel chair for a few more months so I cannot do any of my own work.

I need my radiator replaced in my 2000 XJ.

I am buying a new radiator around the 2nd week of Sept.

Because I am on worker's comp. my income is 30% of what I usually make so I cannot afford to pay to get this done.

Is anyone interested in helping me (I guess really doing) replace my radiator on a Saturday afternoon? I would be glad to buy some pizza and soda (we don't drink) and my wife said she would make some dessert for us.

It would also be nice to meet some fellow XJer's from the area.

I live just north of Houston near The Woodlands off of IH45 and FM1488.

Anyway, if anyone is interested please let me know so that I can start planning the party!

Thank you so much

Ron

If I was closer I would take you up on that offer. I just replaced all the brake components on an XJ for a guy that lives down the street. Local shop tried to charge him almost $600 to do the job. I took him to auto zone to get the parts (less than $200 worth), and installed them myself. He tried to pay me, but I wouldn't let him. I don't need the money right now, and I hate to see anyone get ripped like that at a shop.

cool, we need a date so we can get that weekend off....

I'll post a date this week, I just have to check when the $$ are coming in so I can order the radiator and make sure to give time for it to get delivered.
I look forward to meeting everyone.
Thank you again
Ron

I will be more than willing to help. Only thing is I don't know my schedule at work and I sometimes work on Saturdays... I will check it out in the next day or so and let you know more.

I'd be willing to help if I can get away from classwork.

I am part of that "we" he is talking about. I have the 12th and 13th off(if schedule stays the same) from work. I am usually scheduled every other weekend off. So I am good to go for then....

Swapping a radiator takes like an hour, tops, but really, more than 2 people are just gonna get in each others way while they do it.

You have never seen me Magi and rms work on anything... one works, other two drink.... Not a problem of getting in the way with us.

I also have the 12th and 13th off, but the 12th is my little girls birthday. I know we are having a small get together but I don't know what time... And like I have said, I am able to help on Sundays.

Ain't that the truth.


But more the better, (if you have room). Since he is pretty new to our little group it will be a meet and greet at the same time....

Oh I forgot to add the 2 hours of hanging out and bullshitting before a tool is even picked up... thanks for the reminder Magi

 

[rjstiles]

Wow, sounds great, I will post a date by Friday but it looks like a Sunday is best.

The more the merrier, I look forward to meeting everyone.

Thank you guys so much

HA... now that I think about it... The last (and first) time I worked on the cooling system of a 4.0, I did it with one arm.

C'mon, everyone knows that works happens faster and better if there are at least 3 people supervising

Is that why my XJ has been banished to the garage, broken? Cuz I'm ALWAYS one of the guys that drinks and "supervises" and I don't have anyone around to do the actual work? I blame Flores and DG for this.
