Me and several buddies went down to Carmel IN (I know, I know...) on Saturday night. We took an exchange student from France with us to Bubs Burgers. We had him eat the 1 lb burger (22 oz uncooked!) with us. I was impressed he finished it... pretty good for a frenchman!

no you-pull-it yards in your area?
I hate "we pull it and charge you double a you pull it's price" yards. They always want to know what vehicle I have instead of just telling me what vehicles THEY have. I wanted to find out if a local we-pull-it yard had an MJ I could buy everything off of and the idiot at the counter insisted on asking me what part I needed instead of just checking if they had any shortbed MJ... I had to think of a part no one would have bought that was specific to any shortbed MJ, most of the obvious things either had a million options (rear axle, is it 35 or 44? what gear ratio? lsd? dude I don't care, just search... this is a waste of my time... argh) or would likely already be off the truck and thus not in their database.

So instead of hanging out with us you hung out with a frenchman......I knew you were off but wow!
I do, and the bolts. I was going to give them to Mac since I'm likely to never use it. Unless you want them back.

the f superduty motors?
those are impossible to find parts for. I researched them when I was looking for a box truck.

no u pull it around me. I had a guy tell me this morning that he wanted 150 dollars for steering column because he didn't feel like going out and pulling it. :dunno:
I went next door to where they were parting out a cherokee at the body shop and I'm getting 1 from him for 20 dollars.
I don't understand people.

just placed an order with Ruff Stuff for my disk conversion pieces for the Sterling and ordered a panhard axle side mount and some misc tabs. Starting to get things in line to work on these axles......

He said it is an FE series motor if I heard him correctly. Said they quit making them in the late 70s.

Hola, cake eaters! Have you been missing me? I didn't think so. I feel like that of the elusive Big Hank or Beezil...though Beezil is way out there.
A little update on our neck of the woods...Harrison is 10.5 weeks old now. He is in the 97% for his height and the 76% for weight. He holds his head up pretty well, talks up a storm and smiles a lot! Pretty much the coolest thing ever. He even just got done helping me type this post out.
So, I plan on getting back into the groove of the site. We've been busy parents, but it's more than worth it.

Yesterday, I did a day run @ the Midwest Invite event up at Dresser put on by the Go-Fer-4 Wheelers. 10hours on the Hwy, 4.5hrs on the trail... 1.5hrs cleaning off the heavy stuff.
* TJ flairs do not bend, but the body panel they are attached to will/does
* ZJ tie rods bend if you are rock crawling and place a stump under just the right place
* BFG ATs work nicely in sandy environments, even sand/mud. The bead protectors are the cats azz!
* Yes Virginia, if your tire is covered in mud, your rear wheel can be a pivot point!
* Rock Crawling with no spotter=lots of hopping in and out of the truck=excersize
* I like the new XJ better than my old YJ. Unfortunately, it sucks gas like a whore sucks...
Still had a great time!
Now I have to figure out what to do for a rear fender flair after I get that dent out of the rear 1/4. Been thinking of either something cheap and flexy, or expensive, yet removable.

Ron - I'm sorta surprised you bent a V8 ZJ tie rod. What size tires? I failed to bend mine and I slammed on it like it owed me money on 33" ATs, including a couple rocks that left marks on the tie rod itself.
