Things I learned removing a 44 from a woody

[DrMoab]

1. Just because there isn't any rust on the floor boards does not mean there isn't any underneath

2. It can take just as long to remove shock bolts, drive shaft bolts, super rusted U bolts, Brake lines and rear sway bars as it can take to remove one emergency brake line.

3. Old Dana 35 axles laying out in your yard makes great places for all kinds of critters to live.

4. Black widows make houses out of wasp nests.

5. Wasps can make nests anywhere...including behind backing plates where your fingers like to be.

Looks like I got out of there just in time yesterday.

I was thinking about swapping my grill for the nice dash in the woody. Interested? Do you have other interior wood-grained trim in good shape?


Good luck with the 44, is it being stored for your new XJ or going under your current ride?

6. It is ok to leave the emergency brake lines disconnected if you only plan on moving vehicle around your yard.

7. It is NOT ok to forget to hook up they Hydrolic brake line if your yard also happens to have a big hill.

8. It would probably also be a good idea to bolt the rear swaybar back on...instead of leaving the lower links unbolted.

9. However...Unbolted swaybar links make great brakes coming off the fore mentioned hill when it catches between the wheelwell and tire.

10. Tires DO NOT hold up well to swaybar end links acting as brakes.

Ryan,
I replied over on RME, but PM me. I am talking to the wife about picking up the woody for parts.
