Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I'm planning on taking it easy and was thinking signing up for 4/5, but then I keep rethinking it and debating signing up for some combination of 6/7/8.

I'll think it over today. :dunno:

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

wow, never been hung over after one beer before... I think it's more from busting my ass all day in the sun welding and not drinking enough water. Managed to get a welding sunburn too, luckily not a very bad one... BUT my welding is much improved and I made a ton of progress.

Quit b*tching, you have clean water from your tap.

Whine whine whine.

I drank a bunch of stoughton water today :thumbup:

We switched to town well water (backup), so we're fine.

EDIT: Oh and I'm confirmed for trail 10.

Making a list of what needs to be done for your green jeep to drive.

We will provide time estimates.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

if you haven't noticed yet, that exhaust header is krak'd so you oughta replace it while its out :thumbup:

Already planned on it. Probably just going to get an OEM style one for cheap. Didn't notice any gain with the APN.

It's so muggy that the air in Braintree is like water. It is very uncomfortable.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Same here. At least the temp has dropped, being outside yesterday while it was this muggy and 85+ degrees was extremely unpleasant.

When I build a garage... it's gonna be air conditioned :flame::helpme:

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Heat > Air conditioning in a garage.

It's only this hot for like 3-4 months out of the year tops.

After that, it's all cold.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Definitely... but I can just get a space heater for that. And honestly working in a 40 degree garage isn't really that bad, makes the welding jacket way more comfortable.

I got Bill's battery! I'm thinking that if he's home this weekend i'd stop by, bug him, and steal his money.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I got the gears all back in the axle this weekend. Man who ever set those up was retarded.

When I checked the pinion preload with the new bearings and the old shims, there was zero preload. I also had to add 0.005" shims to each side of the carrier to get some preload.

The axle now has a u-bolt yoke on it now, robbed from the wagoneer axle chilling under my deck.

As someone who used a space heater for that purpose all during the winter, it SUCKS.

It is only good for heating the space directly in front of it.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Yes, green jeep. This is the rear axle, the one I bought already set up.

I also replaced the thermostat and replaced the coolant in the briarwood. There somehow got to be a lot of silt/muck in the cooling system. It is still running hot some though.

Agreed, it's muggy inside my airconditioned office. this sucks. I think I am heading into the labs cause they are more environmentally controlled (probably less humid) and at the very least the air is constantly being circulated.

You just need this space heater
I would def install heat over AC, though AC would also be nice and if I was building a garage it would probably have both. Probably have heat built into the garage and just use a big ass window AC unit.

Yeah, but still, in the winter you can bundle up... working on jeeps naked seems a poor plan especially when angle grinders and welders are involved :shocked:

Are the radiator and mechanical fan clutch in good shape? e-fan still working properly?

@#$@ yeah!!

Nice!

EDIT: anyone know where I can buy one of the rubber style windshield trim ring? I've checked the usual suspects (rockauto, teamcherokee is down, discountjeepparts, summit, etc) and no one has them.
