it ran for about 10 laps until the thing quit running w/ no water in it hahaha.
 
Eh, I doubt it was the hole in the radiator. Probably was the gas pedal stuck wide open and it ran too lean... lol.
 
Starting to work on the XJ again, 99 manifold I picked up @ the M&G from TRT thanks man!

Still need to get the 1/4 plate cut to get the door back on it, waiting on some electrical work to plug in the plasma cutter :eyes:
 
Well, I got fired today. They found an email where I was looking for another job (someone I worked for, for over 3 years). I was looking for a job when I found that one, the mortgage business is a revolving door.

I should be going to work for my old boss on Monday.

The sysadmin snooping through your email?

congratulations! that kinda blows, but at least you have a backup plan!
i think that's kinda crappy though. did they tell you that if you got caught looking for another job you'd be fired? what kind of company can be against someone trying to move forward?

I guess they want you to move forward with them. The other guy got fired (was looking for another job too) for sending an internal email saying "I hate this Fing place". The guy he sent it to already has his notice in.

They have had a lot of turn over lately.
 
Just bought a brand new in box M8000... not sure that I'll use it, but if I don't, one of you lucky guys will have a chance to buy it for a steal!
 
saturday - 10 hours straight workin on my sis in laws exploder. transfercase problem, so i took out her old one, diagnosed, and using another one i got from the junk yard rebuilt 1 good one out of the two, and installed. its the 4405 torque on demand case...95 lbs of fun, but at least i made some cash off of it. auto 4x4, 4 high, and 4 low all work perfectly now in it.

sunday i worked on my yard, im clearing out a big area to turn into a cool little hang out area with a fire pit and benches.

as far as the jeep, i picked up some steel for my klune/d300 crossmember im making, and ordered a bunch more cool parts. also my racing style brake fittings FINALLY came in...these should fix the brake line bolt leakage issue
 
welded up rear shock mount, mounted new shock, re hung the exhaust and did this... finishing the other side next week, Mark came over and supervised for awhile :D

Mark supervised Doug screaming at Welder as how crappy the welds were.. lol
Mark installed CB and decided on magnetic mount on PA. Tested PA and Doug told me to turn it off. Thought i wasnt making enough noises so Doug decided to sawzaw the ac duct Tyler gave him. The neighborhood watch would have complained but when they realized it was Doug they didnt say anything
Tried to install the Cup Holder High2by gave me to realize the mirror adjuster is blocking the mount. Gave Doug the Cup Holder to replace the "Hole" in his passanger side seat the previous owner used for a beer holder..

Warning notice: When you see Doug with Grinder and Sawzaw.. RUN!

Oh.. i painted the letters CHER and REDO in silver..to make AVON look interesting.
