Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
I can't believe I just read through ten pages of BS... oh wait yes I can :roflmao:
i found some last time but i figured theyre a little outta my league. any 60's?
yeah they're over by that massive stack of scrap bins behind the commercial vehicle section (the rockwells, that is. I didn't see any 60s but I wasn't looking really.) PS I tripped over the drums off your 14bolt and nearly landed in that damn lake of swamp water we were standing in last time :gee: that's where I spent most of my time this run because I was robbing every diesel I could find of its turbo.
nice. Any other WJ boosters to be had? And you didn't happen to see any old ford cars did ya? I want to grab some spare axle shafts for my 9" but I think the only cars they came in were torinos and maybe some stangs, etc... I think I may have to pick up another set of alloys for spares :dunno:
And I wouldn't be surprised if 'what is there, is there'... I would think that they are doing this to clear the yard of all parts and then will get rid of alot of sh*t and bring new stuff in. Maybe I am wrong, idk. Any pre-97 XJs with a clean(ish) grey interior? I just need the carpet and headliner
Nice, all easy stuff. Shouldn't be long now :thumbup: Taking a video of the first start?
There's one WJ booster at least (it's in a V8 WJ) and there might be others. Didn't see fords but I wasn't really looking for em, sorry. A lot of the vehicles that are there, I recognize from last year - at least in the commercial vehicle section. Holland's seems to have a lot less churn than I'm used to, and in general is more of a mess, and more fun to screw around in than the yards I'm used to.
Ask them how much they want for the rockwells
Sorry, didn't see this in time... I'd bet on a couple hundred, unless you can get Ross to really hulk up and carry one. I think they weigh like 700 apiece though.
i'm also fairly certain that a lot of the bolts i loosened today were stretch bolts. that's a damn shame. because they're going back in. i'll replace them if she clunks.
ugh, stretch bolts can go to hell.
Ross, let me know when that tool swap thingy is, I'll be down to go to that.
The Blairwitch has been renamed to the Blairbitch, because its a bastard.
When reconnecting battery, the alarm system goes off. Took me over 20 minutes to get the keyfob to work to shut it off, only to find out the battery didn't have enough juice to start it, and then it went back to flashing the alarm.
Took it for a drive to break in the brakes, got back to find out the battery was not just dead, it was bad, as I couldn't restart the car literally 10 seconds after I turned it off. 1 year old battery from red Jeep is in it.
I think I need to re-bleed the master or the entire system. It pulls to the left under heavy braking as well.
Sounds like that alarm needs to be disabled/removed ASAP.
Reduced fat ones SUCK. I'm all for eating healthy but I'm against eating food that taste like a polar bear's dick.
:roflmao::roflmao:
i was unaware that polar bear genitalia tasted like reduced fat cheezits. but are we talking male or female? it makes a difference
:roflmao::roflmao::roflmao:
... wait, how do you guys know so much about what polar bear dick tastes like?
I wanted them to wrap around the front but I guess it doesnt really matter. Ima check out the black pipe tomorrow at Home depot and ask my Dad if they have any scrape tubing at the shop I can snag.
I spent this evening welding together a frame for my compressor/generator out of that poop pipe, the stuff I got was stamped INDIA. I'll have to check if it's marked with a grade/schedule in the AM.
So as much as I like the freetown place I won't be returning there for a while I dont think. I called up and asked if they had any XJs for the axleshafts. They said yeah they got a couple in in the past week(s). So I made the drive down and, nope, no new XJs. And the one XJ that was there (which I couldn't get the shafts off last time I was there) had the front axle missing this time. Even before I went in the yard they asked what I needed and I told them and got a "yeah you should be able to find that" answer.
Now I hate the 2$ yard fee.
dunno, 2 bucks isn't the end of the world. I don't even bother asking what is in the yard at Sam's anymore, they have no idea and tell me that straight up so I just check myself.
Probably my best weld today. My camera blows.
No HAZ because I was using 110V to weld .250"
Looks really nice to me, mine are mostly ugly as hell but seem to hold fairly nicely.
just get a tranny cooler from an exploder.

Mmmmm, Booster is leaking at Master cylinder.
MMM, RTV....
Doesn't brake fluid rape RTV...?
I need to leave work on time tomorrow so I can finish welding this frame up and get the 2.slow mounted on its new home :repair:
