Bike is definitely a great investment.

That's a load of shit. Bikes are like boats and cars. Unless you buy one cheap and restore it and save it for 30 years they are never going to be worth more than the original cost. Bikes get dumped and totaled all the time, it's almost like they are throw away vehicles.

Eh, it's not all about the money that you put into it and what you can get out of it. I could easily sell my bike for close to double what I paid for it but I have no interest in doing so.. It's worth more to me as something I will ride and enjoy than a $ amount.

I have no problem throwing money away if it's fun for me. But investments to me are about making money.

But re-reading my post I see how I probably sounded like a dick.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Oh and apparently I have been working at my company for 2 years now. Just had my 2 year review and got a raise today arty:



Nice. Thinking about it more: I have a 47" Vizio LCD that cost $1200 or so in 2007 and it's still working great. You can now get a much better 47" Vizio LCD for the same price or cheaper than the $1200 I paid...

So long story short I am leaning towards saying 'not worth it' regardless of the TV is since you could get a brand new LCD for significantly less than the $3000 you are asking for the Jeep. So I don't think it's worth it unless it's some awesome plasma that you could sell for more than you want for the Jeep.

the tv

the air rifles

the mini dvd player

swords!

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

So just discovered that my front 60 is possibly bent.




Never realized it when I took it apart two years ago but these are camber shims. I'm going to double check the spindle tomorrow night, but once I bolt them onto the knuckles, I can't turn the shafts.

Damn... i really hope this is like the i-sheared-a-bolt-in-my-ring-gear post... but if not, then best of luck dude and hope its somehow something minor/easily remedied

Yellow one is ~.060" and other one is ~.035"

My buddy Wil is running them on the 44 on his Bronco. Not uncommon.

Even if it's bent, the difference from the camber shims gets taken up by the u-joint. Not a big deal.

Make sure the splines at the diff are long enough and you're not bottoming out the shafts when you compress it between the end of the splines/centerpin and the thrust washer on the stub shaft. I've always had to pull the shaft out slightly to get the outermost snap ring in the hub to fit. There should be some free play in the length.

And, stupid question, but you *are* putting the spindle & caliper bracket together in the proper order, right? I think Fords & Chevys are opposite when it comes to that.

Yeah I'm already over it. It DOES feel like the shaft is bottoming out since I don't have to pull it out at all. I'm going to XXXX with it some more tonight.
