Swap party - And parts for sale

[johnnyc]

Had a talk with Grant over sushi last night. He has graciously offered to let me hold my swap party at his warehouse. So tentatively, I'm thinking the weekend of July 29-30. I'd appreciate any and all help. Food and beverages will be provided.

Some parts have already been spoken for.

Tranny
Transfer case
Rock rails
Seats

But there will be plenty of other parts available for sale.

From old 96 XJ.

Engine
Gas tank skid
Tomken transfer case skid
Grill
Rear hatch glass
Front C4X4 winch bumper
Cruise control
Interior parts

And from the new 98 XJ.

HP Dana 30
Chrysler 8.25 (29-sp)
Stock suspension and steering parts
Stock bumpers
Stock wheels and tires

There's other miscellaneous stuff that I can't think of right now. If you want something, send me a PM. And come on down that weekend to pull the part and take it away.

Post up if you think you can make it. Thanks guys!

[TheBlueSub]

if you dont sell the winch bumper i will pay to ship to FL

[rpraterxj]

Hey Johnny,

I will be able to stop by one of those days to lend a hand. Not sure which one yet, but count me in. I may even bring Kaleb. He is getting really good a hammer and screwdriver. He wants a wrench!

For those that don't know who Kaleb is, he is my son. He will be 3 at the end of Aug. He loves off-roading, Jeeps, and monster trucks.

[karstic]

Johnny do you know if the CC will work in a 92?

[ruggedjeep]

Hey Johnny, the doors off the 96 are 97+ correct? are those up for grabs ?

[corbinafly]

Mike they are 97+. I'll let Johnny say whether or not there available. Probably......................

Kyung

[johnnyc]

Sorry Steve, the cruise control is 1996 specific.

And Mike, you can have the doors for free, if you really want them. The only thing is that I'll be taking out the power regulators so I can convert my manual windows some time in the future. But then again, you probably don't care about the regulators anyway. And it probably doesn't matter that the glass is still in good shape. :)

Johnny, Keep the spliced portion of the two harnesses as one of these days I'd like to document what wire goes where for the 97+ door conversion.

Gray interior. Yes on the reservoir/pump. And it'll be at the M&G location (you know, the one where you showed up in the front, while we were in the back). :)

Hey Johnny,

What about the horns, are they available? Mine sounds a little wierd since I got all that mud and water in them a while back (over 1 year). Just haven't thought about them much, but yesterday I almost got hit by Mercedes.

[johnnyc]

No factory horns. I had installed twin air horns, but they aren't very loud. Super Autobacs on Beach Blvd. has a nice selection of loud horns. And you can even listen to them in the store. :)

How long was it till they threw you outta there? :D

[johnnyc]

Hey, they set up the display. I just pushed the buttons.

[gcurtis]

Hey, don't mention my name or shop... I'll be busted for helping for sure. ;)

Let's make this happen for ya, John.

In that case it will cost you all $2 for unlimited beer and three dogs for the BBQ.

Fark, I just crossed the line again.

It's a conspiracy :confused1 I know it. You guys plan all the fun :jester: shit for when I'm gone.

Damn! I knew they tasted familiar. It's been a while since I had GS. I'm surprised Johnny didn't notice it either.

Kyung

[silverslk]

I'll take the gas tank skid for $20 Johnny!!!!


What about the brake booster? Don't they say that will help me with my 93's brakes?

[GSequoia]

Sorry - booster is spoken for.

:D

[Eddie G.]

Hey Johnny, can I have your stock leaf packs? I need to build a budget Frankenstein pack for mine. Thanx :)

[Jump This]

I noticed alot of people looking for parts, but it didn't sound like alot of help was in the making.....
I should be able to get out of the heat and head into your neck of the woods next weekend, I gotta' pick up tires from Mikey and some brakes from Mil.
I should be able to work something out for Saturday.
PS How about that Landis dude.....freakin' crazy!
Rick R:sunshine:

[corbinafly]

I should be there.





I WILL be there.

Kyung

[TheWarWagon]

Hey, so uh, does anyone want to do a manifold swap too? haha kidding. I'll be there.

Gas tank is yours, Andy.

Thank you my Korean brotha from a diff'rent motha.

Who knows? If all goes well, we might have time. :)

[ruggedjeep]

Johnny sorry i cant be there, i leave outta town for a week on sunday for work. I will make arrangements with you when i get back about the doors.
Thanks.

[Eddie G.]

Thanx Johnny. So, when and where exactly is this party? Are you inviting belly dancers? :D

[johnnyc]

It's at Grant's warehouse...

5584 E. La Palma Ave
Anaheim Hills, CA 92807

And it's Saturday, July 29. We haven't set a time yet, but I'm thinking of starting at 8 am. If Grant can wake up by then.

Belly dancers? My next door neighbor is a Brazilian samba dancer. Will that do?

Belly dancers? My next door neighbor is a Brazilian samba dancer. Will that do?

Yes she is....

And I can be there as early as 6AM (that is sleeping in lately).

Coffee is on the house, someone provide bagels and cream cheese.

[johnnyc]

That early? Then that means I can drive the rolled Jeep there. Won't be much traffic early Saturday morning. I was actually thinking about driving it up there under cover of darkness.

But the battery is dead. Does anyone know where I can get one? :confused1

And I believe that the food for this gathering is my responsibility. I will bring bagels and cream cheese, but no lox.

[GSequoia]

I'll try to roll out of my house at about 9-ish, I don't do mornings if I don't have to ;) Should take me an hour, hour and a half to get there..Might be making a stop in Lakewood on the way... as I'll be driving the old Ford and I don't drive it too fast...

I've got your battery hanging, now that you work here your batteries are free... come by the shop a day or two ahead of time. Hold on, that was spam. I'll give you a battery on loan to get your shit to my shop.

That early? I've been working 15 hour days all week... can you say 4AM?

What time is Rick picking up the carcass?

[johnnyc]

Rick says he's coming out, but he's not taking the carcass. I'll have to call someone to come haul it away.

[slowrider]

I can be there all day.... well I don't know about 6 am so most of the day at any rate:)

[Gerr]

I can try and get it ok'd for me to get there early but you know how wifes can be.

[ckh550]

Cruise Control for a 2000? I read earlier it's just for 96', didn't know if by any chance it was '96 or later. I'd be interested though, and in case Andy doesn't take the gas tank skid, I'll take it next.

Chris

[johnnyc]

Cruise control will fit a 96 model only. 2000 is very different.

And that would be a pretty long drive for you. :)

[Jump This]

I'll leave my house about 6am. Its probably a two hour plus drive for me.
I'm hoping that I can find someone to railroad my tires from Mikey over to your shop. If not I'll need to leave early to pick them up.
Should I bring my plasma cutter? We could turn your Heep into a heep in no time! 220 40amp outlet nesc.
Let me know what kind of tools to bring etc. by friday.
See you all there!
Rick R:sunshine:

[johnnyc]

Plasma cutter might actually come in handy. Kyung needs to cut out part of the floorpan. I think Grant has 220.

Which Mike are you getting the tires from? Rollins, Lysik, or Lockwood?

Thanks Rick!

[ckh550]

Oh yeah,..i'm in San Diego now...oops. thanks anyways!

ZJMikey
I ordered 5 Bighorns (35")

[gcurtis]

I'll be there both days.

ZJ Mikey, can you drop them at the shop since you work in Orange???

Everyone, please bring a tool box so that we aren't all fighting for my two 18mm's.... BYOB and if you all bring something to slap on the grill, we can fire that up at some point as well. Also, bring a fan... the more the merrier. It has been hot there on weekends these days. After building a machine for a bud this weekend I was a puddle.

Johnny, I'll plan on 6A to have the shop door open. Roll in any time after. When you pick up the Peterbilt for the air brake endorsement I'll have your battery ready, even if I am on the road selling. Brit will have it for you. ;)

If you plan on picking up parts, please do so AT the swap party; I don't house parts and if I do, I charge money by the day.

Sway bar peeps, the first batch will be ready on Sunday....

Damn, spamming again.

[cal]

Wow, looking like quiet the party.

I'll not be available (work), but can send some misc equipment down (my jack stands for example, im sure grant wouldnt mind having there).

-Cal

[silverslk]

Looks like I may show up. I have my son that weekend but he is leaving with his mom to vegas sunday morning.

[rpraterxj]

Hey Cal, can you get my compressor to Grant's this weekend? I will be swinging by there.

Thanks,

[cal]

i can manage that I think, yes.

[Loose_Nuts_Enterprises]

I'll try to make it Johnny. If I can talk myself into braving the 105 degree heat in the garage this week.....I just may have a bumper to put on your new jalopy.

-Dan

BTW, I have this sexy new pink paint....you're gonna love it.

Actually, take your time Dan. Don't want you to get heat stroke.

I ran out of Pink half way through, so it's two-tone Pink and Yellow

See you Saturday AM.

-Dan

[johnnyc]

Nice. I'll be sure to tell everyone that it's a Loose Nuts bumper. :)

Thanks Dan. :thumbup:

[Loose_Nuts_Enterprises]

Just trying to help you achieve your dream of the "rainbow edition" XJ. :roll:

Johnny, If you could, pull one of the OE bumber bracket bolts (one of three on each frame rail) and go get replacements a half inch longer. Some of the XJs I've put bumpers on have had different thread pitches. That's why I don't offer a bolt kit with the bumper. If you can't, I'm sure there's a hardware store somewhere around there...

-Dan

[johnnyc]

OK, I'll do that tomorrow.

[TheWarWagon]

Alright Johnny, I'm gonna get greedy and bring my exhaust manifold and 8.25 rear in hopes of a swap. Hey, I scratch your back, you scratch mine right? haha kidding....

[johnnyc]

Hey Bryce,

Even if we can't get to it on Saturday, I'd be happy to help you with that at any time.

[TheWarWagon]

Hey Johnny and Grant,

What should we all bring tomorrow? A full ice chest and some ambition? :repair:

[Jump This]

Put me in charge of a perticular project, that way I can be sure I have all the right tools. I'm bringing the Jeep and need to save some room for some parts I'm picking up along the way (like a full set of tires!)
Engine swap?
Axels?
You name it....I can screw it up!
Rick R

[Loose_Nuts_Enterprises]

So who's bringin' the strippers???

[corbinafly]

I'm bringin' the strippers???
Sweet!! Dan, right on!!:peace: :guitar: :peace:

Kyung

[Gerr]

well Im gona try and still make it my power steering pump froze up on me tonight so I need to get a replacemnt in the heep in the morning (hopefully napa has one in stock) If I make it Ill be there Im guessing about 2 if not Ill have to hook up with ya on a differnt date to buy the bumper

[johnnyc]

We got a lot done today. Got the interior pretty much stripped out. Bumpers, hitch, gas skid, rock rails (and so on) are all removed. The rear axle/suspension is on a pallet waiting to be slid under the new Jeep.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v702/xjohnnyc/IMG_0100.jpg

If anyone plans on coming out, figure about 8 am. I'll probably be there earlier, but just to be on the safe side..

I'll bring bagels for breakfast and plenty of non-alcoholic beverages (I don't want drunks working on my Jeep :) ). If you must have beer, by all means, bring an ice chest.

Rick, you're in charge of cutting the carcass with your plasma cutter into manageable pieces. After everyone gets done driving over it in the parking lot.

[GSequoia]

Can I drive the Ford over it?

http://events.sequoia4x4.com/d/12587-2/IMG_0004.jpg


Truck is loaded and ready to go.. Gonna try to roll out of here about 8.30 - 9.00 tomorrow.

[wayoflife]

i had been meaning to check back sooner but it's been a busy week for me. anyway, i don't know how early i can get out there tomorrow or how long i can stay and help but i do plan on coming by to at least meet some of you guys in person and buy some parts if they're still available. should i bring some tools or will you have some on hand?

eddie

[johnnyc]

Come on out just to hang out a while. Only tool I'm still looking for is a pitman arm puller.

I'm leaving now. If anyone needs to reach me (949)212-8887. That's (949)21-BUTTS.

[wayoflife]

cool. i'll be heading out soon. are you looking for a pickle fork or an actual puller (i.e. the kind that you crank with a ratchet)?

[GSequoia]

Well that was a long day!

Just got home and cleaned up ... Will post up some pictures tomorrow...

[gcurtis]

Well that was a long day!

You ain't kidding, sister.

Got Johnny up and running, after a few starting problems caused by Kyung's welding while the ECU was hooked up. Oh, that and that nasty bearing click in the rear...

Great turn out, great guys, great friends (both new and old) and a great day. Thanks everyone who helped, you all friggin' rock.

Okay, I'm going to bed; solo for once. I soooo friggin' tired.

[silverslk]

Sorry I couldn't make it today guys. I only have my son every other weekend and this was my weekend and he's leaving tonight to go to Vegas with his mom.........I REALLY wanted to go but thought it was scheduled for sunday.

[wayoflife]

hey johnny, just wanted to thank you again for inviting me over today and for the parts. wish i could have been more help and stay longer but it looked like you had it covered and then some.

as for everyone else, it was nice to meet the few of you that i did. :)

edit: hey, if nobody ever showed up to take the rest of your front seat belts, could i have them. turns out the latch you gave me doesn't work with the old style shoulder harnesses. please let me know - thanks!

[johnnyc]

Thanks to everyone who came out today.

Grant, James, Rob, Curt, Kyung, Dan (Turner), Rabbit, Rick, Jose, Josh, Cal, Bryce, Jon, Avery, Sequoia, Eddie, Dan (dzraces). Damn, I know I'm probably forgetting somebody. Forgive me, I'm tired.

Could not done it without you (literally). There were times when all I could do was stand back and watch, because there were people all over both Jeeps.

I eventually found out the cause of the starting problem and muffler bearing click. :D Nice ones.

Eddie, I'll try to remember to pull those seatbelts tomorrow.

Thanks again guys. You're the greatest.

[nosigma]

I wish I could have been there to help out (settling into life in VA). Jo was really impressed by the turn out and how much the SoCal chapter pulled together to help you out. A great example of what a NAXJA chapter should be. We are all going to miss you guys.

John, Jo & Emma

Sorry I left early guys, as it turned out, I didn't need to.
Picked up my tires from Mikey and got stuck in traffic (who the hell has traffic jams on Saturday for Christ sake?)
Got home to find my irrigation guy had already left....bastid!
Oh...BTW I woke up this morning and figured out a way I could have used
my plasma cutter using just 110 outlets. Damn, I hate that!
Next time we need to cut something up I'll have a junction box made!
Anyway...what sort of dirty tricks did they play on you Johnny?
When I left there was wispers of subtrifuge... :D (did I spell that right Cracker?)

Hey Johnny,

Sorry I could not make it by. Between everyone in my family being sick this past week and work, things were pretty crazy. I am glad yo uhad a great turnout. Can't wait to see the "new" Jeep. So when is it's maden voyage on a trail? Maybe a Big Bear trip in the very near future?

Let me know what else yo need done and I will do my best to give you hand.

Sorry again dude.

[TheWarWagon]

Johnny, you worked us like dogs. Oh wait, we are. At least we can say we were the first ones there, and the last ones out- literally. The jeep came out really well, it looks damn good. I guess now it's time time to start getting people together to fix my heep....

[Gerr]

organise a wrenching party some where we can get 3 or so projects goin at one time and I bet you get a good turn out

[cal]

Thanks to everyone who came out today.

Thanks again guys. You're the greatest.



Did you end up using any of those parts I left for you? I hope SOMEONE puts them to good use. ;)

[johnnyc]

So Rick, that's your wooden creeper, huh? Grant was about to send it to the Smithsonian. :) We'll find a way to get it back to you. Don't know about a hammer though.

First trick they played was yanking my coil wire, pretending that Kyung may have fried my PCM while doing some welding. Then Grant put a big-ass zip-tie on my driveshaft, and told me to go for a test drive.

Eddie, those seatbelts are kinda worn and frayed. I wouldn't feel safe giving those to you. Sorry.

Cal, used the longer brake lines. Still haven't measured to see what size shocks I need yet.

Robert, can't go wheeling just yet. I'm gonna have to do some major fender trimming. Grant does also to fit his new 35s. So we were talking about a fender trimming party. Rick can bring his plasma cutter. Also I don't have rock rails yet. No way am I destroying my rockers.:)

Cute, isn't it?

The silver conduit (only two outlets on either side of the shop) is 220. The rest (dressed lightly in cream) is 110.

Yes, you missed something.

BTW, your uncle Lester wants his creeper back....

[jsolorza]

what time u guys stopped wrenching

Ha. When I got back from my test drive, Grant, Curt, and Kyung were helping Bryce swap my 98 rear axle and leafs into his Jeep. These guys just didn't want to stop working.

As we were unbolting the leafs from Bryce's Jeep, Kyung discovered that the left forward bolt was spinning in place. So the decision was made to abort the operation.

So to answer the question, we were chowing down at In-and-Out at 10 pm. We were trying to figure out when things went wrong, since the rear end was swapped out at 10 am. :dunno:

[Mr.OverKill]

So Rick, that's your wooden creeper, huh? Grant was about to send it to the Smithsonian. :) We'll find a way to get it back to you. Don't know about a hammer though.

First trick they played was yanking my coil wire, pretending that Kyung may have fried my PCM while doing some welding. Then Grant put a big-ass zip-tie on my driveshaft, and told me to go for a test drive.

Eddie, those seatbelts are kinda worn and frayed. I wouldn't feel safe giving those to you. Sorry.

Cal, used the longer brake lines. Still haven't measured to see what size shocks I need yet.

Robert, can't go wheeling just yet. I'm gonna have to do some major fender trimming. Grant does also to fit his new 35s. So we were talking about a fender trimming party. Rick can bring his plasma cutter. Also I don't have rock rails yet. No way am I destroying my rockers.:)

Cute, isn't it?

Went to the warhouse to clean up a bit today. Driving south on the 55, I lost my right front flare :mad: :doh:

Sorry about the flare, I new it was loose when I removed the inner splash shield. There were a couple of remarks made about that being loose by several of us but I guess we forgot to tell you. Thats what happens when there are too many indians and not enough chiefs! Oh well, like Kejtar siad flares are over rated. On the upside the LOOSE-NUTS-BUMPER was designed for use with front TJ flares. So get to sourcing!!!:laugh3: Had a good time working on your junk and this is the best turnout I have ever seen at a wrenching party!!! Good job to everyone. Thanks Grant for the workspace and look forward to talking with you more about bussiness.;) :bunny:

[johnnyc]

No biggie on the flare. It just looks a little nekkid without it. And you're right, I have to trim anyways.

Mike, those doors are waiting for you. And Armen's rails. We have to figure out a time to meet up.

Mike, those doors are waiting for you. And Armen's rails. We have to figure out a time to meet up.

[Mr.OverKill]

We have to figure out a time to meet up. HAY, Iv'e got an idea, you guys gould meet up at my house this weekend at my axle/ lift swap and get those things where they need to get!!:D :D :D

[johnnyc]

Let's see...Mike's in the Valley and I'm in OC. Yeah, your place is in the middle. :D

Actually, I was hoping to drop by your place Troy. I need to give back some love. Plus, I have to get some parts to itsHud. And I was thinking that I could bring Rick his old wooden creeper.

But this weekend is not good for me. Family thing all day Saturday. And going north on Sunday. Good luck on the swap.

[ruggedjeep]
