THe NAC Lots-O-BFG KO2 Thread

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread


Still interesting.

My theory is an unfinished ball valve trunion made from Stellite, fired from an improvised home-built cannon decades ago into a tree, where the tree then grew over it, and eventually the lumber was split.

Think about it. If there's a nearby valve factory, and I had access to these blanks of badass metal roughly in the shape of a ball, I'd totally steal some and shoot them at stuff.

Also, Stellite fits the material properties perfectly. It's a superhard, non-magnetic, non-ferrous, Cobalt alloy that doesn't do anything with a grinder test and has excellent properties as far as absorbing heat.

The funny thing is, that theory has now been picked up a few times throughout the thread...

Hateeee mornings and school. Why do they both have to be at the same time?! I just want to weld crap to the Jeep and make it cooler so I can never wheel.

Night school sucks just as bad Keith, trust me.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

anybody on here from the foxborough area? dad bought some tires tonight from a mid 20's kid with a lifted xj. Just curious if he was a forums lingerer

:dunno: This is my town!!! I cant really think of any other lifted/modded XJ's here other then mine. Well, there is that guy Steve, but thats a different story. There is a red 4dr near the high school that might have a BB on like 30/31's.


was it a red XJ and a red headed bull of a kid?

did he talk about how "cool" his unfinished black xj was??

:roflmao:

That retard jokemon and the rest of the retards in that thread made my head hurt.

I also agree on the "if an angle grinder didn't do shit to it, how the hell did a 60 year old sawmill blade cut right through it and leave a centering punch mark?" Comment. And I want whatever made that centering punch mark, too.

So am I dumb for not running a ZDDP additive? Am I missing something?
Heck, I ran three plus year old (changed before the build) oil (this) up until the last run.

I don't get that whole myth. I understand you want it during break-in...but even then I'm not sure as I don't think my uncle and father used anything other than straight weight on the 440.

We never used anything other than on-sale oil at autozone either. Even fram filters.

Yeah, if it weren't for him, that thread would be rockin'.

Someone did make a good point that maybe it wasn't the flat part that was exposed...if the blade contacted the outer edge of the sphere, I could see how it'd maybe flex around it. Still a one in a million shot though. If a sawmill blade tried to go straight through that thing it'd probably ruin some millworker's day.

I love weird stuff like this, where you come across something uncommon with a strange chain of events behind it. Years ago I made a few unsuccessful attempts at keeping a 'blog' going, and here's one entry that I liked:

You might be one of the few people on earth who'd appreciate what I was trying to get at there.

I ran "break in oil" during break in. After that it was one run with Mobil 1, then the other two changes after that have been that Marine & Diesel Amsoil oil. The motor only has ~11K on it. Since it'll only get changed once a year now, I think I can spring for the $45 change.
Even fram filters.
[large debate] I wouldn't ever do this. [/large debate]
buy me a good 4.0 and i will wheel my jeep on maple syrup
It would probably work ok until you got to about half the operating temp then the sugars would start to caramelize and you'd be done.

might be a bit early for this, but whatever.

I've got:...
A bit early? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Man you guys are jumping the gun on this and the "To-Do Lists".
