LOL....

I am in the same boat! My junk is in my garage, coming apart tonight!!!!

[mdickerson]

Got my Rock Krawler Xfactor Long Arm on last Sunday. Took 10.5 hrs. Looks great. Still need to add the xfactor crossover steering conversion to go before the Meet. Looks like I'm not going to be able to get the 8" Lift and AGR Rock Ram installed before this upcomming event.

Oh Well, it's not going to keep me from going though.

[Gerr]

UMM starting to look like I wont make it.......:(

all depends on if he would send you with your XJ, and if you were anywhere near Moab.

I got my front locker installed (thanks remi) and am ready for a long weekend!!!

[GSequoia]

Shuddup!!

I still havne't done jack. Gonna work on the Jeep tomorrow after running around today to pick up stuff but it's gonna be tight. Unfortunatly my late work last night ran into a snag so now I have to go back this eveing and finish it up. (Which means potentially working real late tonight cutting into tomorrow mornings Jeep work).

Work sucks!

[GrimmJeeper]

i might be driving out to pasadena to meet up with cal tomorrow but after that im free if you need an extra pair of hands. PM me i'll give you my cell.

Damn... I guess you know you're a Jeeper when just about all of your driveway / garage shots have an angle grinder in them!

[Jump This]

You know.....I realy should....um.......SHIT!! I got nothing to do!
I need to load up the spare....I took it out yesterday to get the Mt.Bike in the back. Load some tools, but I use other peoples tools when I break anyway...:D....tow rope....I've used them before!

[Gerr]

its got a damn carb. I stayed up till 3 am working on it and believe it is the carb thats having issues.

[rpraterxj]

:repair: :repair:

[GrimmJeeper]

find the spare tire,
dig out the cold weather clothes,
get fire wood,
get food,
mount fog lights,
mount fire extinguisher,
what else what else what else what else....

Sounds to me like an awfly good time to do the Renix head & fuel injection swap.

At least then it'll be a little bit XJ!

[Gerr]

If I had the time id do it but I havent done it before and I get like 2 hours of light after work each day to do it

[GSequoia]

Bah, you work for a crane company... How much do they expect you to think anyway? :D

It's been awhile since I've worked on a carb'd vehicle but you can call me if you hit a brick wall and need moral support :roflmao:

[Gerr]

thanks I may just do that if I had your number still lol

[GSequoia]

You do realize that half the reason I want you to get the YJ up and running to make it there is so I can mock you for your silly little cheerleader Jeep, right?

[Gerr]

thats fine with me I look forward to it. after all the guy who gets made fun of most usually has the best time on the trail...... I leave work in a hour with about $600 (including the new carb)in parts some for sure should have been changed (pcv, egr, etc)in the last 18 years of my jeeps life but hasnt others well are because I found out they had it in stock and I didnt wana make 3 trips like I normally do(batteries, air filter, oil filter etc). now where did I put that damn muffler bearing tool

[GSequoia]

Don't forget your Halogen fluid! You don't want dim lights on the drive up!

[Gerr]

Ahh, I don't have the money for that. It's like $475 / gallon at the import store down the street!

I'll sell you a quart for $100.
It would need to be a non refundable sale though. Once you open
up the container the stuff goes bad real quickly.

Well duh. All the light gets out!

The best way to fill is with special tools to capture the "stray light".

BTW - I think I put your hammer in the trailer :cheers:

you only need the tool if you do it on the east coast geez everyone knows the west cost charges more light into the fluid as long as your left handed

Well you may just get your wish. I just got back from driving around my property and crawled my rock pile with zero problems. the carb gasket was missing in a spot, the choke was broken, and the idle passage was gunked bad. new carb fixed drivability problems so far.

me and a couple buddies waited till someone passed out at a halloween party, let him sleep for about an hour. then we all got our costumes on and stood around him screaming and shaking him awake. i'll never forget the look on the kids face i thought he was going to die of fright. he jumped up ran out the door and never came back :D

take it back to napa they'll give you a new one free. just about everything we sell has at least a 1 year warranty. i put our napa one on mine and its been there for 3 years without a problem.

[markw]

If I cycle it, it will stop. It's seeping out the shaft for the valve. It's just irritating that I have to go back to Napa for another one. :( Here's the question of the day, can they identify it as a napa part? I doubt I can locate the receipt for it.

if you can remember the approx date you bought it and anything else you bought at the same time they can look up the part number and see when the last time they sold it was. unless they want to be jerks about it. if they give you a hard time i'll get you one and mail it to ya :D

Yup, froze at JV in November. Now that I'm "retired" we traded in the tents for a clean used 1999 Jamboree 24D with the V10. Tows the Jeep just fine, and my wife was complaining about it being too hot at night with the temp set to around 65-70. :)
