Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

oh yeah. gotta fill the diff too, right billy?

ouch :smsoap::smsoap: lol


And about the brakes, I suppose you're right. I just hate spending over $100 everytime I go to do anything with the Jeep haha. I know it goes with the territory, but damn does it get old!! lol. I'll probably just do that. Only thing is I'll have to wait until at least next week to order them. I'll see if Lou has a pair in stock @ Elias 4wd in Townsend, that would be sweet. I doubt it, but can't hurt to try

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

same, i'm waiting for my cousin to bring me to napa right now.

colin, i think today is my last day of working on it for the time being. i'm going to go up to jenn's pretty much as soon as it's done. all that's left is (dumb me) i have to disconnect both lower arms, losen the jam nuts and make it so the grease fitting is down, not up on the axle side, flare 3 brake lines, bolt it all together, bleed it, and reinstall steering/trac bar

oh yeah. gotta fill the diff too, right billy?

but if you really want to take the drive out, feel free. if you're bored or whatever. i'll be here, at least for a while

I wouldn't have been able to come up until the weekend probably. I need to run to the JY and get a durango box and drill/tap/rebuild it this weekend.

Billy, you still going to look at land this Sunday? You going to come to the run with me?

$60 plus tax all you can carry... get yourself some spare axle shafts/driveshafts, whatever...I'm going on monday to hopefully find the disc setup off an 8.8 so I don't need to rape my friend Justin's axle...planning to find em with any luck, and pull em, then hide them somewhere so I just go on the 28th, pick up my stuff and Im good to go

slick idea, though you could pull the whole axle and sell it for more than it's worth on JF after. it's just a thought.

colin, i'm gonna run with billy. mabelle is over run as it is... no need to kill it more. plus billy, me, and another guy from UJ are going to go explore some private land.

Sounds good man, no worries. Good point about Mabelle being overrun.

Good luck guys!

Yeah, I did think of that, but I'm not looking to make money, just want the brakes. not to mention the brakes are much easier to carry/lighter than a full axle. So I'd be able to take more stuff useful to me, Driveshafts, ... ummm. and a couple more driveshafts? haha I guess that's about all I can use. but whatever. Colin if there is a Durango box there on Monday and I can get my brakes pulled out with some time to spare, I can grab that for ya too and hide it with my stuff. Then the 28th since I guess I'll just be getting brakes and driveshafts (lol) it shouldn't be a problem to get the box for you too.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

dum de dum.... waiting for my cousin. might be a bit, i guess. fine with me, i'm exhausted. working on stuff alone sucks. and my cousin, while helpful, is by no means a mechanic.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

you should grab kyle a driveshaft, because i'm going to keep the one i was going to get him. i'm wondering if mine is worn out or something... so in case mine goes boom, i want to have a spare. sorry kyle.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I can vouch for the non mechanical cousin, not being mechanically inclined

I'll look around for anything useful I can think of while I'm there heh. But yeah Colin... definitely send me a text or something saying HEY!! find my steering box!!

hehe that way I'll be more likely to remember.

That would be awesome man, I'll definitely send you a text...but I don't think I have your #?

PM it to me when you get a chance.

Any chance you could get me a spare XJ front driveshaft? (4.0/AW4)

I might be able to make the trek out there that Sunday if you want a hand. Where is it located?

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

i'm working sunday :-\ and actually, I don't think they're even opened on sundays. it's exit 28 off rt 3, like maybe a minute from the highway. billerica MA. I'll send ya my number now though... not gonna be around monday at all? I have the day off...

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Oh duh the 28th is a Saturday. I can probably head up that morning.

 

[5spd_xj]

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Oh ok. well no worries, like i say, this monday, the 23rd, I'll be there to try and get a head start on pulling parts... on the all you can carry day it can get somewhat hectic lol. But yeah, that would be cool. always awesome to watch some of the stuff people try to carry too.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

sweet, i just checked my bank account... i'm not down nearly as far as i expected to be. i love it when that happens. i'm not going to buy the rest of the WJ parts just yet though. i'll probably exchange the calipers i'm getting as cores and get a pair of loaded ones from napa eventually.

i'm tired....

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I wish I could be in the garage all day...

I had to work all week on spring break to buy my tires and other crap.
