Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
Anthony, what are you gonna do with your old clutch and stuff?
Right now I have 2 choices - buy a flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, etc on rockauto, or buy from the junkyard. I'd rather put money in your pocket than either rockauto or the junkyard unless I have a damn good reason to go with a new clutch and stuff, and I don't really feel like spending hours pulling a transmission just to get to the clutch hardware if I don't have to.

I think I might see if I can grab a set of them off Billy/Nick if they have any, apparently D50 hubs use the same nut set.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
:dunno: but I'm keeping my flywheel. The surface is mint. The clutch and PP were probably good enough to keep running and were fine the last time it drove. I had no intention of doing the clutch until I decided to drop everything out of the jeep. It could be yours for cheap.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
Why do you want a tether kill switch? I rode woods/GNCC type stuff and hated them, always got nabbed on branches. I found if I flipped or fell off, the bike either just stalled upside down or rolled into a tree and stalled. I'd run a CR style kill switch. There was no way the bike would shut off untill I wanted it to. You had to hold down the button.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
How much more do you think you will be able to get for the house with 50 year shingles vs 25 or 30 year shingles?
If you plan to move the house in a few years, 50 yr shingles hardly seem worth it to me.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
Let me know how much you want for the clutch/PP (unless you're keeping the PP too, in which case just the clutch) and I'll drop by sometime for it - you going to the UJ party Saturday?
dunno. I figure it'll fetch about the same price either way, but I like the look of the 50 years better. Might go with 30 years but probably 50 year... the price difference wasn't all that much (about 600 bucks) even including the 3bd/square vs 4bd/square difference. I know the roof structure can handle it, too, after all it supported 6-10 layers of regular 3-tab shingles for the last few decades... :roflmao:

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
the banshee has more than enough power to keep going even if i fall off. ive run tethers on all my dirt bikes, snowmobiles and ATVs and always liked them. dirt bikes i can understand not using one since its gonna fall over anyways. but the banshee is more than likley gonna keep going haha

The Biggest difference I see is the 50 year is going to be harder to work in the cold

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
Haven't had a single problem. Here's a few more shots...there are some additional gussets at the 'important' corners...
Neither the limit straps or the bumpstops are part of that though, which is probably a wise choice. So the cage never sees any of the 'sudden' impacts.
It was pretty much just a quick & dirty way to get it up and running, because ideally I do still wanna notch the rear frame, raise the airbumps higher, do away with a lot of the inside cage work, etc. But it's wheelin' for now.
Poly performance has 'em for $20 if you're ordering stuff from there.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
I won't be at the UJ party. My cousin announced that her wedding is going to be the same night a little more than a month ago. And no, she's not pregnant. That's not possible in the relationship she's in.
I don't even know... certainly no more than $30. My new clutch kit came with a PP, so I don't need this one.

Working with wood is fun as well, I'll give you that.
A break from what? :laugh2: I haven't seen anything done yet besides a weekend's worth of cutting.

Exactly, neat video. I like the "You'll never be the same after you see this :laugh:."
I got mine from Bronco Graveyard for $15/each. Or as Chris mentioned, Poly has them too.
That is acutally a collection worth taking photos of, pretty neat stuff.
Depends on the buyer, but a new roof always adds to the resale.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
Hmm, interesting. So an older 10.25 only needs a new yoke to run the newer gear set. That means I can get up to 5.38 and that's PERFECT.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
Already bought all the starter course shingles (1 board should do the job, did some measurements and I have ~100 feet of eaves rounding up) and drip edge, that's my project for tonight, along with the couple remaining strips of tarpaper I have to put down. Tomorrow night's project is buying the shingles, hauling them to Southbridge, and stacking them in the dining room and kitchen. Will be 66bd if I go 30 year or 88 if I go 50 year, plus ridge caps.
True that... they are probably gonna be stiff as boards. Things seem decent to work in the sun, but as soon as it gets dark, forget about it.

oh yeah, forgot I saw that on the UJ forum. Consider it sold, I think 30 is what they quoted me at the junkyard and it saves me having to jack a jeep up on frozen mud and rip the tranny out.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
Good deal, thanks for the pics. I never plan on racing my hoopty, so I probably wouldn't need as much steel as you have into yours, but I am thinking that tying in the shock hoops on mine into the upper portion of the cage would be a good idea. And to add a few gussets at a few of the key corners too. If you look back a few pages, there is a pic of how mine is set up now. I plan to leave the mounting position for the rear shocks in the same place (or close).

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
It's going to be mostly MDF, epoxy, and fiberglass, but either way, it'll be not metal, not greasy, and not rusty. I made reasonable estimates as to how long I think it will take to accomplish each task, doubled that amount of time and I think I'll be able to get it completed over the course of a 3-day weekend. Conveniently, there's one of those coming up. The only thing that is likely to not be completed perfectly is the tweeter pods.
:thumbup:
Oh come on, the frame plating and crossmember took time. :laugh3:

Even *I* don't need as much steel as I have into mine. :roll:
Colin, I remembered I got my spindle nut sets from Doug @ Extreme Axle. The price seemed reasonable enough and you'd save on shipping if nothing else.
