[Mr.Shrek]

My friend Jason (Ford guy you meet at my last party) recommended me to the Napa machine shop in Franklin.

Spent about 8 hours in the last two days writing a lab report for a 1 credit hour Thermodynamics & Heat Transfer lab class :banghead:

Spent last night trying to explain what the word "no" means to my roommates

.... not ready to be doing that.... but its about a grand i have a few options....

1) trailer... need one to put the jeep on, good used flats with brakes will run me around 800, enough left to put a brake controller and tires on my explorer.

2) tools.... i already have tools but no complete sets (all my sets got stolen a year ago) this would be nice but i can really afford it when i decide i really wnt it

3) stuff for the truck, still collecting parts for the 302 swap i could have the sas done with the extra $$$


im leaning towards finding a trailer, id like to tow my junk to the flog and it would be a good invesment to have

 

[MELKORsXJ]

...doug, i would vote trailer; they come in handy for lots of stuff.

or tools

 

[Team Willys]

Or... you are halfway there for the trip in May.

Although, I vote truck parts or trailer.

Just a pic of my accomplishment. I'm hoping to do some braking distance tests tomorrow before work and see how it compares to the stock setup. Thanks to High2by for the knuckles/calipers. :thumbup:

looks like im buying a trailer with my money.... i think it will serve the greater good, so if anyone knows of a good 16ft car hauler for under 900 let me know. anyone wanna help me wire the explorer for lights and brakes? im thinkin about having a boatside party this weekend?

 

[trail rate this]

I think I have the Ford plug in harness that plugs in under the tail lights. It will give you the trailer lights, I'm not sure about brakes.

got married, now i´m in costa rica! comin home sunday! woot! also gettin new tires for the miniwag, and gonna gear up to drop the big waggy off for surgery.

 

[Mr.Shrek]

Sweet, congrats buddy.

 

[bigalpha]

Meh, marriage is overrated.

 

[High2by]

You're next!!

 

[bigalpha]

Oh ..... yeah. :eyes:

 

[thechief86]

ha. thanks guys... i´m pretty scared, but i guess it can´t be too bad. i think i´m gonna buy some bfg at´s in the next few days stock size for the babywag. i don´t think i´ll lift it more than a couple inches anytime soon, so i think some 235´s would work well with my rear locker to get me where i want to go. my front 2 tires are pretty worn and badly dry rotten, so i´ll use that as an excuse to get some good tires.

found out my jeep wont friggin start..... think the wire from the relay to the started is shot, ill mess with it tomorrow

 

[High2by]

Pulled the codes of the wifes DD today from the CEL being on. It had 5 different codes showing. Three were missfires, one was IACV, and the other was p1494. Has something to do with the charcoal canister. I had a vacuum leak and I cleaned the IACV. The CEL is off now so we'll see if it stays of.

 

[RenegadeStang]

Got myself a new job as a service advisor for a Nissan dealership down in Statesboro, GA. Will be moving down there in a few weeks.
