:sigh: What you don't realize Richard is that Bryon....bar none is the laziest person you will ever meet.

He won't come help with my roof because he says he needs to work on his buggy but I would bet five bucks that all he has done all weekend is sit back, drink a beer and over analyze what needs to be done.

If he would put half the time doing what he "thinks" about he would have had it done before our spring trip in Moab. Which reminds me....another interesting thread. http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=78792

Well Ryan when I don’t know how to do some thing yes I like to figure out how to do it right so yes It does take me a long time to get some things done it's not like I‘m a master fabricator just trying to learn as much as I can through this whole process by some weird chance I decide to build one again it will be a lot less painless.


If that is lazy then yes I am lazy

Like I said before...My goal is to get him so worked up and pissed that he actually gets something done.

He can do it all...he just needs to be motivated.

Maybe we do need to go over there and get him off his ass.

Don't get it done and you can only have Bud Light.

What are the two flat pieces between the leaf springs and sliders?

[GSequoia]

Those are full length liners that go between your leaves. They promote a nice flexy pack.

[SCW]

Ah- I was looking for some when I put together my leaf packs, but had to settle for sticky leaves and squeaks.

[GSequoia]

I got a roll of it from Deaver Spring in Santa Ana, California (they'd probably ship...). Anyway I had to buy a roll of 100' because they wouldn't split it up (don't sell much). I used about 50 feet of it and split the rest with Terry.

For finding it local check out hot rod shops, they tend to use it.

We're hoping to get mine started tomorrow night. Need to check all the wire splicing that was done in the engine harness. Hmmm, that means I need to get some battery cables.

I am a loooooong ways away from getting it ready to wheel......but my hopes are still high.

[xj4moab]

Well new shafts are out it's going to take to long to get them in and the 1100 bucks they want for them just cant do it. So i am going to try some Longfield joints they do have a life time warranty any one ever run them?

Well, mine started, so the engine harness wiring is good.

[Goatman]

Bryon, as of today mine is wired and it runs. The biggest things I have to do are replace the power steering pump and add a cooler, the rear brake lines, t-case skid, and something for the exhaust. The rest of the stuff is mostly details, like bolting in the seats and belts, airing up a shock, running the winch cable, etc. I still four good days of work to do to it, but I'm begining to see light at the end of the tunnel.

[stewie]

seems like you could drop the tank 6-8 inches easily which would still leave it fairly protected and lower the CG... also surprised to see you don't have the battery in back...

Yea I could have spent time to drop the tank... but all that subfloor is getting hacked out after a while. going to a plastic 15 gallon fuel cell to help with weight as well as clearance in the back. Going to remount the leaf springs and possibly go with different length springs. The battery is staying put until I get the rewiring job done. Then its time for a small SMALL battery in the VERY back. As well as a few other "goodies".

Nice...

But is that saying that the bungee cords I'm using for li mit straps won't work?

Maybe I should switch to sinch straps?

what kind of switch are you using on it?

http://pic.piczo.com/img/i215869093_1459.jpg

[David Taylor]

what kind of switch are you using on it?

It's the harbor fright winch. 39.99 It came with a "allmost" water tight switch box. I just mounted it between the seats. Seems to have more than enough power.

[xj4moab]

That’s about what I have on mine the only reason I ask is I have a switch in my dash panel for the rear winch but I cant think of a good way to wire it in with out a solenoid pack

Watch the drum on them I hear they break very easy

Ya, it might be junk for 39.99. I wanted to see if I use it before I pop for
a warn atv winch.

[xj4moab]

For the price it's great a few friends have run them on their comp rigs and they have worked well

It's hard to spend the cash on a warn ATV winch when they cost almost as much as a M8000

[BrettM]

very nice Dave, but why not take the opportunity to move that weight to the back? Seems like that setup would transfer less shock-loading to the winch, but you could still run it like that from the back...

[David Taylor]

It's only 13 pounds( I know, hard to believe I said that ). This way the weight is lower in the car. Plus in this location I can use it to pull myself back if needed.


Sorry for the thread hijack Bryon

[xj4moab]

Ok here is a new list of things to get done not looking good any more i am loosing my motivation any one have an open seat I will just bring the trailer down and camp


:rattle::rattle::rattle::rattle::rattle::rattle::r attle::rattle::rattle:


Drill a 1” hole in the fire wall to mount the throttle cable
Find the bolts for the torque converter
Bolt battery down
Bolt seats and seat belts
Clean up the wiring in the dash
Move winch forward a ½ inch
Tie hydraulic lines down
Change lower control arm bolts to grade 8
Grease pillow block
Grease drive lines mount skid plates
Extend wires for rear winch
Install new gasket for thermostat
Replace oil pressure sending unit
Adjust shifter cable
Hook up vacuum line for transmission
Charge shocks
Set engine timing
Buy breathers for the valve covers
Change front axle joints
Bleed brake lines
Switch brake lines on master cylinders
Replace transmission mission dip stick

[GSequoia]

C'mon Bryon that isn't much!

Set up a work party and have your fellow IC help you out. Just say "Free beer," seems to work for SoCal!

[DrMoab]

Bryon...you need to change that list around in order of priorities. The motor, steering, shocks and other things that will get it drivable should come first. Then worry about the small things like winch wires and stuff. If you can get it drivable it will go a long way to getting it done.

Also if you were smart you would work on the things that you know could let you down first. Get them out of the way.

It would suck to spend all week worrying about a brake line only to find out there is something fatal in the motor.

[xj4moab]

This better

As of 3 hours ago, its not going to make it. Motor issues. Still bunch of work to do.

[DeadEyeJ]

Just install some pedals you wimps.

[DrMoab]

I don't understand why he is giving up so easily. How many times did you tell him to go get a scanner today Clint? How many hours did you two sit and BS and not do a SINGLE THING.

Not trying to sound harsh but it seems to me that so much could be worked on while you are figuring out motor issues. Charging shocks, replacing axleshafts, filling diffs with lube.

Instead its easier to complain about a petty little electrical problem which I bet turns into nothing.

[FarmerMatt]

He's too afraid that his little toy buggy won't be able to hang with the bigdog boys... It's OK, stay home & we'll just talk about how big a pu$$y you are around the campfire at night...

[Clint]

His only answer was, "I don't want to do anything until it runs right." Any time Id mention doing something else, it all came back to that. With the Ujoint and shaft issue with no spares, I don't think I'd like to be the one holding the group up because of something like that. His choice, It's not my junk.

Matt, he should be there with the camper, nice warm couch for me to sleep on!

[DaveW]

I'm glad this thread is here. I can vicariously live the drama when I have to spend time with the family and cannot stop by to help.

Maybe I just like the web wrenching.:D Bryon is my hero....:worship:

Seriously...I think I would pack a tent.

Oh I am don't worry.

Back to the other topic. My exact words to him "Lets get the rest of this shit finished and maybe someone on the lakebed knows more about TBI 350's or maybe someone can come help during the week"

Bottom line is I tried. It's his decision. Trashing him here isn't going to help.

Im not trashing anyone. I just think its crazy to invest so much time, money, sweat and tears into a project like this and then give up over something so tiny.

The reason I decided to not to bring the buggy is because I don’t want to be that guy who shows unprepared I don’t have any spare shafts, the passenger side inner shaft is egged out so much I can see the joint rotate and slap back and forth in the shaft and I have never run the motor on the trail I just don’t want to rely on you guys to get my junk off the trail when It dies half way in.
It’s one think to help me get my junk off the trail if it’s built right and fails but when I am cutting corners just to make a run that’s just me being an A$$

Weld the caps, and get your shit out here. Mine is going on it's virgin run, too, and whatever happens, happens. We don't mind dragging your ass off the trial.........that would be more fun than ragging on you for not bringing it. :D :D

Hey, we're all friends, it's not like showing up to some big event marginally prepared with people you don't know.

So, are you at least going to bring the XJ so you can drive around and go on the moderate runs??

[xj4moab]

I wish I could bring the XJ but the rear axle is bent the ball joints are gone and the distributor is toast.
I’m going to come out still just going to bring the 5th wheel and camp hopefully I can bum a ride from some one.

Any one have a open seat :thumbup:

Bring da buggy. If it dies on the trail than we'll just use it as an added obsticle...

[xj4moab]

lol that’s about all it would be worth with the full hydraulic steering you could even have some one pulling me with as many times I would have to turn the steering wheel I might get the tires to move an inch wouldn’t be a hard target to hit.
