:jump: Laslo just stepped out of the closet again. I thought Chico was Laslo...will need to find another analogy for The Deuce (yes, I just referred to myself in the 3rd person as "The Deuce")

...but hows the bottom of the door? :brows:

I already asked my CFO and I was summarily denied for even driving up to look at it... I will be in Livermore for the Day...would just be a short trip up...hmmmmm

Doesn't mean we post anything worthwhile (mostly TJ Dribble for me).... And I don't go to JU any more either...

Holy balls that's fugly!

Best Knife I've ever owned (and not real expensive-$45 on Amazon), absolutely perfect for everything I needed in a pocketknife Kershaw Ken Onion Blackout

Went to a guy in my local club...I would have got it, but was out of town... sw2

Heck, I might buy one to stick on the side of my rig even though it's not an Eliminator...nobody outside of you dudes would know the difference... :yes: :yes:

After a couple months in Hibernation, I decided it was time to stop by again...My MJ sounds pretty bad right now... I tried to take this video with my phone from the driver seat...it's kind of hard to hear, so you might have to turn it up. Not sure if that's just the lifters or lifters+exhaust manifold or what. http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/2420/file19484.mp4 Anyhow, I think it might be time to start thinking about an engine rebuild for serious. I have a friend that offered me one of his "extra" complete XJ engines to rebuild for giving him the tip a free MJ from my other thread. He's also the guy that gave me the HPD30 that I'm running on my TJ now. He said he has an 88, 92, 93 sitting, basically complete that I could have any of if I wanted to do a rebuild/stroker for my 89 MJ... It would take me forever since I've never done a rebuild, but it sure takes the pressure off if it's an "extra" engine that I could get done and then do the swap (minimal downtime)... I'm assuming the 88 would be the "easist" going Renix->Renix, but the 92/93 would be the HO's and likely better longterm... If I wanted to do the stroker route, would I want the 92/93??? Thoughts or Advice? Sw2

Nice... I've been searching Craigslist for a Tent Trailer Locally, but can't bring myself to part $2-$5K that most people want, even for some crappy ones...anything under $1000 is pretty much needing a complete rebuild, new canvas, new wheels, and a lots of lots of work.

Yah.... he did offer me one of his "extra" engines for giving him the tip on this one (he's also the guy that gave me the HPD30 that I'm running on my TJ now)... He said he has an 88, 92, 93 sitting, basically complete that I could have any of if I wanted to do a rebuild/stroker for my 89 MJ... It would take me forever since I've never done a rebuild, but it sure takes the pressure off if it's an "extra" engine that I could get done and then do the swap (minimal downtime)...

Damn wild hair's... Sw2

Yea, I get them all the time :fs1: :hmm: In fact........all my hair is Wild :D Good to see you stop in SW2 :wavey: Thought you got tired of our harassment.........uh, er, advice..... and was taking a break from us :cheers: I didn't get it nope...but a guy in my club did, actually the same guy that bought that 87 Black MJ that I owned for a few weeks and bought the 2Dr XJ Carcass that I had for not much longer than that. So it went to a good home and he has enough parts to get it up and running well again... said just some electrical/vacuum lines needing work and some basic stuff, but it actually ran and he drove it up to his driveway.

I suspect that DMV back fees could be 200-300 or so depending... I'm trying to get someone in my 4x4Club to get it for me...so far no takers, but I've even offered to pay someone for their time to get it for me...we'll see if anyone bites.

Not that I know of....Road side Emergency service isn't really Roadside if your a couple hours away! :roll:

That's funny, I talked to Van @ Vanco today and I'm doing some work on his website... I hope to do some Barter action for a Hydroboost... I'm also working with SavvyOffroad on their Website too in trade for some of their TJ Aluminum Armor Products. I might be able to hook you up with a Deal on some Superior Axle stuff if your interested thru Gerald @ Savvy (prices seem better than anything else online).

CRAP, they still have it, I just can't change my plans for tomorrow to go get it (I can get it EARLY, but they won't be available)... No chance that the thing is still there on Sunday...they said it just had a flat tire and a some electical issues (mentioned suspected Mouse chewing wires)... this looks like a STEAL (for FREE, plus FREE AAA towing). DAMN! Sw2

BTW, just saw this on Craigslist...a FREE MJ is a GOOD MJ... I emailed the guy and said I'd take it...but can't get it till Sunday (he just posted today, so we will see)... I suspect DMV back fees and crap, but we will see... http://sfbay.craigslist.org/scz/cto/1741233878.html

Hey Guys...Just stopping by to say HI... haven't been on much, haven't really posted anything MJ related in a couple months... Been working on getting the TJ back and going and doing quite a bit of work on it (my #1 Ride, sorry)... MJ is now sitting in the street undriven most of the time and looking all sad at me. I'll get a wild hair up my butt sooner or later and start messing with the MJ again... I'm pretty sure, although not 100% that my Exhaust Mani might need replacing. I haven't looked real close for cracks (nor does it seem real easy from the engine side), but having lost one on the TJ a few years ago, I see some similarities (more power loss than usual, chugging, more banging that usual, gassy exhaust smell inside the cab). So I suspect I'll resume my barrage of dumb MJ tech questions sometime this summer when I get bored of my TJ again (or run out of $$$ to spend on expensive TJ mods). SW2

I want those 26 seconds of my life back!

Sweet....maybe i should order bigger tires...
