Well, pre-cooked was your first mistake. Why would you do that?

A guy I work with has family out in Shamokin, PA...everytime he goes out there, he stops at a local meat market (Masser's) and brings back a ton of stuff for people. He brought back over 50 lbs of bacon this time, of which I bought 2 lbs. Like, 1/4" thick strips.

I've had it in the fridge here at work, and every morning for the last week I've made 5 strips in the microwave. A few layers of paper towels, 2:30 on high, done. It makes the whole office smell like bacon for hours. People are starting to get pissed. :D

It surprised me that a few people here had never heard of cooking it that way before.

My mom thought it would be a good idea.

What is this double mortar blast?



I love when people show up to buy your stuff, and don't try to hassle you down or anything. Its a nice change, and certainly something I never do.

It was just some show that was on TV when Adam was over my house. Some guy was giving health advice to a fat kid and was takling about power stances and double mortar blasts and whatnot.

I think we all used to be mudders at one point.

As I've said in here before, I absolutely despise buying and selling stuff. The whole process just irritates me.

99% of the time I'll pay asking price if I think it's worth it.

Damn, good deal on those.

Oh, and this is for Bill. Just so people have an idea about how long it took him.

Well I knew from the start I wanted to do it, so I knew I had to plan the cuts well for a good turnout. Before any cutting was done I measured probably (no lie) a dozen different ways, twice, to make sure it all lined up well.

I wanted to keep the main roof support from the rear section I moved forward to give the roof some more strength back as well as keep it together for when I weld the hatch back in. I also wanted it as far forward as I could without cutting into the structural part of the 'C' pillar.

As you can see, this required me to cut the roof but not anything else (see cut #3) on the section that remains part of the Jeep. That cut was determined from the length I left on the cut off portion in Cut #1. Cut #2 was really just to get rid of the drip rail and the window edge as well as a big portion of roof.

It didn't just "drop" into place like that either though. Not kidding there is about 9 hours of work into the cutting, trimming, and fitment of the two from whole Jeep to what you see in the above pictures. I can't tell you (and don't want to remember) how many times that got lifted on and off and back on again. The final edge was cut with a steady hand and an .040 cut off wheel on my 4.5" angle grinder. I touched up only slightly to rid of the burs and removed paint with my air die grinder.

The only thing that didn't line up perfect is the drip rail edge. The approx 1.75" section I left on the cut portion was just about 3/16" narrower than the section it was moved up to. If that makes any sence...
I'm not going to worry about that as I plan to run 1.75" 0.120wall tube along the gutter edge as protection from leaning again something. I've placed a section I had lieing around in place to check, and I got lucky. It fits like a glove and covers and hides the small gap.

Unfortunatly I can't weld it into place until I figure out the hatch placement. That can't be done until the floor gets figured out. The floor can't be figured out until the rear suspension is determined, which can't be done until the replacement rails are done. Long list ahead of me... and I'm glad!

I can snap any picture you want later, I'm headed away this weekend so no work on the Jeep gets done. Yet, it will be nice to get away for the weekend at my place in VT.

I'm very happy with the results. Did it take a long time? Yes. Would I call it a pain? No, I like working in the garage. Would I do it again? Yup.

I would do some of that stuff again. That's the fun and cool stuff!

The tedious stuff (like the finer sheet metal work) and spending money are the parts that I didn't like.

Likewise, I can't stand dicking around haggling on something. I generally pay asking price unless I don't think it's fair, in which case I wait till the asking price drops to the point that I think it's fair.

The only time I've really tried to haggle was when I offered $250 for a complete piece of shit XJ that basically had nothing of value to it, it ran like shit, the transmission I wanted seemed like it needed rebuilding, the d30 I was going to sell to Adam had an insane amount of backlash and trashed shafts and I wasn't sure it was salvageable at all, the body was total junk, the transfer case was screwed, the tires were slashed, the glass was busted, the seats were junk AND not the ones I wanted, etc... the guy ignored my offer. Oh well, no real loss, aside from the gas money and time to go look at that shitheap.

I did make a (probably ultra low-ball, I found out after the fact) offer on the M54A2, but there wasn't really any haggling involved. I had nothing he listed as possible trades, so I checked CL for what the stuff he wanted cost and added a bit, hell I even told him I wasn't sure what the truck was truly worth so not to be insulted if my offer was stupid low, and asked him to tell me what it was worth. He accepted it, I showed up and paid cash, we both left happy.
