"I can park anywhere I want on the street!"

[YELLAHEEP]

So, some guy parks his car right smack in front of my driveway last night. Couldn't figure out where he was before I go to work and the wife had just enough room to pull into the next to the S-10. She says "Ah, don't worry about it, I have nowhere to go tonight and you'll be at work"...... so I let it go - figured it'd be gone by morning.......

Wrong. Still there. I get with a few neighbors and none of the immediate ones know the car. I check with some up the street - and apparently the owner of the car answers the door 3 houses down. I ask if anyone there owns the blue Olds and he says "I do - what about it." I tell him it's blocking my driveway and I'd like him to move it. He says "Well I can't, it's broke down and I'll be fixing it this weekend when I can get a starter for it." I tell him "Uh, no, you'll come down with me and we'll push it outta the way." He then says.......

"I can park anywhere I want on the street - it's public domain." and promptly shuts the door on me.

Oh really......... :flamemad:

Right..... So what is his handicap?

[XJNOOB93]

No friken way!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA BAD A$$ YELLA!!! AHAHA This made my day!!!

[Fastdemise]

Tisk Tisk, people will do anything these days for shameless flex photos. Ya think he'll notice the XJ parked on his car and link it to you?

I applaude you on your problem solving. You should still ask if he wants help getting that starter fixed.

[Kiefer316]

F!@# YEAH. THAT IS FRIGGIN AWESOME. Can i come try. HAHA, You do have a very good point though. If he can park right infront of your drive way, you should be able to park on his car.

[ladywolf]

LMAO that is FREAKIN AWESOME!!!

now i just hope you have a good lawyer for when the dude wants to take it to court for damages.

[ColoradoRaptor]

You officially kick ass Troy................. :clap::clap::clap::patriot:

I was expecting him to pull out the Cummins and do it himself in the first place. But never this.:doh:

My BSmeter is 3/4 pegged but i'm hoping it's true.

Did the dude call your "office" Troy?

[xj-grin]

Damn vigilante's with badges! :flame: I told you I'd have it out of there by the weekend, man... grandma's gonna be pissed. :smsoap:

[squirrel80]

My BS meter is pegged on this one. I had a friend go to jail for just dragging a car out of his work driveway and in to a side street. He got fined for desruction of private property. Even though it did not damage the car. I think about that every time I want to do something like this.

[puttzer]

Looks like a car he's taking to the scrapper. Still cool lookin:wow:

[BruceB83]

I want SO BADLY to believe this. I think I'm gonna need to see the bail bond to know it's real. ;)

If it's real......:worship:....for having the stones to do this!

If it's fake......:worship:....for the effort!

[XJTodd]

A true HERO Yella!

[bigerich]

Like others my BS meter has been pegged. It seems even more fishy that Troy has not made another post in this thread, yet. Maybe he is behind the bars for his next shift? Real or not, good stuff.

[H8PVMT]

I know a Firefighter/EMS guy in Littleton..... I'll call him and see if he's heard this

[Hypoid]

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I call bullshit to the story, but post #21 was awesome!

I used to live across from a high school, I've had many a car ticketed or towed. It is true, you can park anywhere. BUT, if you park there, I WILL have you towed.

Still LMAO!

[SurfXJSnow]

troy. you are my hero.

I agree! I don't beleive it until Yella posts his mug shot. LOL.

Either way, you deserve a beer my freind. :worship:

That guy is gunna be fuggin pissed, you scratched his paint with your diff's...

[w0mps]

So what happened?

[Deadman 94 xj]

Most likely he's at the jailhouse as I type this.

[wolfpackjeeper]

nice

Yeah, at work!:laugh2:

[Rockken]

I don't care if it is real or not, that is a hilarious story. Good stuff

[YELLAHEEP]

LOL! Awrite, all you gullible fawkers can relax....... I was having fun at your expense!!! :roflmao:

I REALLY didn't expect the reactions would go the way they did! I go to bed and when I get up this afternoon..... 3 PAGES!!! I figured ALL posts would have been calling B.S. This thread is CLASSIC! :D

When I first started to create the post, the title was "Did a little urban 'wheeling today"...... dunno but I guess the 26 hours I'd been up got me feeling a little cantankerous...... :firedevil

Yeah, that was a scrapper I'd picked up this morning after work. I guess the fact that it was so clean looking and had plates on it just lended itself to some.... um embellishment shall we say? :laugh3:

Yeah, I get the thing home and was about to strip the brand new tires, cat and battery off it and got a wild hair to do some monster truckin'. I'd noted that ALL of my neighbors had left (which is pretty unusual in itself) and the block was just to calm and quiet to NOT take advantage of the opportunity. Yeah, my redneck was showing big time.... :gee:

Funny thing is..... I ran Carnage last weekend, no problems. I crawl up on this car and a LCA joint EXPLODES! I'm sure Carnage weakened it.... but it was just funny that it grenaded doing this. :D

It was totally worth it though! And I'm digging my new motivational poster! :thumbup:

Suckers! :roflmao: :D

[puttzer]

I win the prize for guessing correctly :yelclap:

[Deadman 94 xj]

You Bastid !!!


:D

[jeepfreak1020]

hahahaha its still funny. It had me fooled when i first looked at it. Ive wanted to do that many times when people have pakred infront of my driveway.

hilarious, I give ya an A!!! A+ lol

[jeepfreak1020]

Whats the specs on your truggy yella?

[ColoradoRaptor]

Something told me you were up to no good with this thread.............. :cool: Damn I wanted to believe it!!! Nice one!!:worship:

I was also figuring I would hook up the dually and just yank his a... out of the way.

I had a neighbor once when i lived in the city that would drive by her house and driveway to park in front of mine. I had about enough of this after a week and just turned my sprinkler heads around. Three days of baked on water marks and she quit.

'Krawler joint blew apart. The housing is intact, but the guts are all over. It was uber-flexed when I drove up onto the hood/windshield. Got out to snap a pic and BANG! The thing then lurched over to the pass. side a bit and backwards. I heard something hit the ground - got under it and saw the joint's guts all pulled apart, hanging around the bolt.

LOL, impulsivness is a bitch. If it were me and I did this, against my better judgement, I sure as hell would post it up to gain something.

RockKrawler joints are exactly the same as a rod end I believe just more pieces? Do you have spares? If not you were so lucky...........go buy a lottery ticket.

Is it this bad boy? I think those are rebuildable?

Yup, and I hate 'em. I'm probably going to replace 'em with those joints you used on your homebrew LCA's...... :D

Those old RockKrawler joints are 1" shank, double check before you order from Ballistic Fab. :looney:

Ballistic was also having a spring sale going on, but if not, type in "pirate" in the coupon code thing for 10% off. (and NO, spring sale plus coupon code didn't work I tried :D)

[asp]

some krawler joints are 3/4-16 shank... like all 6 of mine.

Funny thread Troy, Funny thread


I sort of did this same thing. I turned my sprinkler head to aim where my neighbor would park in front of my house, and reset the timer to come on about the same time they had to leave in the morning, and again when they were supposed to return in the afternoon. Plus if I was at home (on weekends or days off and such), and they would leave at random times I would turn them on manually anytime I saw them near their car. They stopped parking there pretty quickly.

...and you were complaining about some kids on your street a few weeks ago.

[Gotlift01]

Funny stuff!! :thumbup: I backed onto the hood of my neighbors friends car. She time after time kept parking behind my truck ( a crew cab powerstroke on 38"s ) blocking me in...and then coped attitude with me when I asked her politely to move her car.

Well one day I was in a hurry and in a pissed of mood to begin with, and come out to find her parked there AGAIN! I hoped in the truck and drove right up her fender and onto her hood. She called the cops.....and luckily for me Mr. Cop dude was cool as hell and told her tough chit! He had drove by before and noticed the car parked there, so he knew I was telling the truth. She threw a fit and went inside....me and the cop had a laugh or two and slapped me a high five and went on about his business! :D

Turns out, there is one of those (above) Krawler joints on the driver's side LCA at the rear, opposite the one that blew, so I assumed it was just like that one....... but apparently the one (above) is the better/improved version. The one that blew, is this POS:

http://www.extremegearoffroad.com/store/images/T/t-17377-904.jpeg

Apparently the guts are held in place by a snap ring/lock ring and there's several shims behind the lock ring to snug up the bushing..... All that stress being held in by a puny lock ring.............I found another one of 'em was about to let go too. Led gave me 3 other Krawler joints like the one you posted - and replaced one of the POS ones prior to trading it to me. So, I assembled the other 3 new joints and installed 'em. I think these will work much better than the others.

Troy thats the rebuild kits I gave you ,you should have 3 of them they reuse the ball from the existing joints.

Yup, done did it to all of 'em. Found the replacement bushings too. I pulled the old joints apart (damn near fell apart in my hands) and built the replacements. I'll give these joints a few trail runs and see if I like 'em before I go dropping the coin on a different style. The replacements have already made a big difference in the noise/ride up front. It's still got a bad or loose heim in the rear somewhere, and the track bar lower heim is definitely bad. :thumbup:
