Last minute problems.

[XJ Stryker]

Who else is having issues.

Now I have to go out of town on the 28th-3rd. Ugh that will cut heavily into my get ready time. Hope to still make it out there Thursday. If worse comes to worse we will just have to miss Friday wheelin :doh:

Work always has to try and get in the way somehow way shape or form.

[FlexdXJ]

I still need to get my Rails installed, need a torch to bend the pinch seam back into shape and I need to install the front skid which isn't bad at all. Then its JCR t-case skid time. I need a garage and a big ass drill for the 9/16th bit to get the nutserts in the unibody! :eek:

[Prepmech]

The camper is stuck in my dad's back yard. Hope the ground will freeze enough to winch it out tomorrow night.

[jester1084]

My dad never re-upped his trailer plates... just sent in the check today. Hopefully that gets here in time. At least the Jeep is running now, but haven't dealt with anything except for the battery.

[BOB]

damn trailer plates....:scared:

Do the tape measure alignment on Go-Jeeps website. That may be why you have the DW!

ughhhh. i think im going to go into lazy mode and just pay merlins

[philagony94xj]

I've got vibes at any speed above 15mph, especially on accel. Went to do rear shoes and drums the other day and discovered I had bad outer bearings on the rear end. This friday nite has been set aside to take care of that. Thats the major issue on the list. Then its just the small annoyances like grounding CB antenna, raising rear shock mounts on axle, putting the spare back on the roof rack...... etc. I should be good to go by NEXT FRIDAY nite!

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

I just need to finish up the roof rack/roof slider combo unit I started last weekend...one good evening of working in it should have it done and painted. If not, I can slap on my factory roof rack and be just fine.....might change the oil this year.....ahhh, who am I kidding....it is still good from last year :D

gonna bring the trailer to the tire shop to swap on the new rizims on Saturday..then should be all set to roll out Thursday morning at the crack of dawn if all goes well with morning chores (read as "I hope my father in law will chore for us!" :D) . :thumbup:

What year is your xj, I might have a decent gas tank you can have.

[mrmikey32]

1992.........

[85xjwoody]

I have a used one I can bring ya. Get me a beer and call it good.

[mrmikey32]

haha. looks like im going to be stopping a lot for gas then.

and sounds like a deal to me.

thanks!

[HaleYes]

Metal tank? How bad is it leaking? Where is it leaking?

If it's on a flat area, and just pinholes or small holes: Take a bar of soap and rub over it real hard. The soap will seal up the leak for a temporary fix. I've done this on an S-10 (metal tank)and it got me by for a week. A bar of soap will get you 3-4 weeks no problem.:D

[mrmikey32]

its right on the middle seam.. FML. i was thinking about taking a racing fuel cell... but this jeep is actually just for winter and work. hence why im bringing it in stock form to WF. I do need a lift though, for work! and a winch. Kinda odd modding a car for actual purpose. haha.

Try some spray on hurc liner or something similar.

[mrmikey32]

i have some aircraft repair adhesive and tape. im going to use that. its good enough, but i want to do it right and replace it.

i hear that fuel tanks are kinda important

Right, it should be replaced. Just trying to keep it from leaking temporarily.

[FlexdXJ]

Sweet just got a check engine light a little bit ago. I think its the NSS. 2 jeeps out of 3 have had it happen!

[XJMK]

Just found out that I've gotta work Friday-Sunday. :hang:

I've only been working 7-12 hours a week and now all of a sudden they've got me working all weekend. WTH, for real.

Can't wait to see all the pics and the fun I missed. :rattle:

Shit, whose bringing Kringles?

[jester1084]

Shit, whose bringing Kringles?

It's ok, they'll be there, that's me. Can't miss out on a good sugar rush :looney: there huh? The sooner the trailer stickers get here the sooner I'll be there (hopefully Thursday). I do have to have a talk with my new nephew about timing though, the sister-in-law will be going into the hospital Wednesday night. Of course now I have to go back through and see what flavor requests there were. The only one I remember was Sue's Cherry request.

Damn, you guys can't scare me like that! Once a year is the only time i get those! I would like to see a pecan one there as well! :D

Jester always brings the kringle. He used to be Brittany's driver too. I am assuming he's now Brittany's husband (Hope I got that right).

I thought Marty brought those didn't realize it was Jester(never caught your name dude).

Yeah, husband now :loveu: but still driver too , she can't come this year because she has to work. I tried to get her skip and come along, but her boss is kinda crazy.

[jester1084]

So last minute issues again here... got the trailer stickers... but now one of the lights and the brakes aren't working :doh:.
Good thing I took it out for a run today, now to try to get them working before I leave tomorrow. Figuring on hitting the
road 11-ish, that should put me down there I think about 4pm Indiana time. I think it's time for me to save up and just buy
my own trailer.

[IllianaXJ]

Can't find my Carhartts. Problem.

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

I could loan ya one of my many pairs, but you will have to grow considerably in the next 24 hours :D

[dozer_xj]

I did this: I was finishing up odds and ends this weekend getting ready to wheel winterfest next weekend. I took the jeep out for a drive and tested out the new locker. Climbed up a few snow piles did great. Got back and was out in the yard (flat grass yard) and my little brother was like hey do a front dig. Alright sounds like a good test for the locker. It was too. The jeep was digging right around and I was like HELL YEAH THIS IS AWESOME and then.....BANG! http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/images/smilies/eek.gif I knew right away what happened before I even opened the door to get out of the Jeep......... I went ahead and fixed it with my spare shaft before I had to come back to school tonight. Only took me about an hour to get it back running! I have a feeling im going to get really good at changing 44 shafts...

For any of those guys that dont have a CB radio setup, i found a set of brand new 2-way radios. They are charging now. They should work with a CB but I'm not 100% on that yet.

They're likely FRS radios. Not the same frequencies as a CB.

[bmyohn]

gotcha, well if someone needs to use them i will have them in the back of the jeep. maybe helpful for trail leaders to talk to eachother, who knows, they looked cool so they are now with me lol

[SAMSET]

big last min probs here. cant find anyone to put on my tires!!!!! this is not good
