So what you're saying is that he swung and missed?

Sorry Anthony, I exaggerated. There's no way anyone could swing and miss my giant dome.

Tim - C6 for a 460
Chris - C6 for a 400M and T5 for a 5.0
Keith - 4R100 for a 5.4
Billy - C6 for a ?
Smokinsilverrt - TH350
Rob - AEOD for 7.3 (2WD)

I'll check with my uncle later today. It might have to be a quick turnaround. I'm heading over there sunday morning. If you guys could get there then, that would be prefereable (if he has what you're looking for).

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Me and a few friends are considering starting some kind of a garage collective, it'll be a large warehouse/industrial space with power for welders, MAYBE a lift or two but probably not, a few thousand square feet of room to keep project vehicles and parts/tools in, etc. Looks like it'll be somewhere in the area between east windsor, southbridge, springfield, palmer, and hartford and we're aiming to keep per-person cost to 100-150 or so. Anyone interested? The more people we get involved, the cheaper it'll be per person, past a certain number.

Probably won't get started for a month or two, hopefully I'll have a real income again by then.

You're out of your mind. I have access to a shop, welders, lifts, plenty of tools and room for future large machines and would give it up to be able to work on my shitbox just outside of a house I was living in.

Spring summer and fall I agree with you. Until it's raining and I'm lying in the mud changing a transfer case out.

Winter I completely disagree. I joke about cardboard sliding really nicely on ice and how this means I don't need a mechanics crawler but it just plain ****ing sucks.

The A-frame and chainfall I have for the MJ work great until I have to pick up something really heavy, like if I wanted to swap a motor into or out of the 5 ton. Then I'm pretty screwed.

I joke about building a new frame for the MJ on my back porch using nailed-together 2x4s as a chassis table, but honestly I'd much rather do it on a cement floor with proper equipment, inside.

CAN I get stuff done in my yard? I think I've proven that. It might be horribly ghetto, but it works. Would I like something better, not too far away? Hell yeah I would. I just did a drivetrain swap in a YJ a few weeks ago and it was incredibly easy, because we had my chainfall hanging from rollers on an I-beam overhead. It was almost TOO easy.

How would that get a foot of wheel travel

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

no idea. camber would be all over the place. but thats what jeep said back in the day when comparing it to thier cj3 apparently which got 8" of wheel travel.

pretty cool that jeep had the first ifs 4wd setup way before everyone else.

It wasn't popular due to the fact that it was too unconventional and people shunned it because of that. Apparently they are pretty well built.

torsion bars and control arms as well.

Anyone want to get in on this idea except do it in/around Boston?
