  1. can't help but notice that #2 is a different color...

    ouch...

    walked a full lap of Epcot yesterday and a good portion of AK today. so far so good. aside from the fact that hobbling around for a month has left me surprisingly out of shape, the important part is that nothing new hurts. 2 weeks ago I would have needed a cane. 3 weeks and I'd likely have been in a wheelchair. Just gotta focus on the end goal and not do anything stupid.
  3. how insulated is it? how shaded?
  4. Most all of them for sale are high mileage rigs that were neglected by their previous owners. The drivetrain does NOT like to be ignored. Expect to do some repairs before heading to school. Especially the cooling system and ball joints. I have a love/hate relationship with mine, but it's mostly love. and I can't imagine life without her.
  5. I did. my brain wasn't shocked by it so I think I've seen it before? either way I very much want to see the insides
  6. on the to-do list before I can drive it again: -replace the pass/front axle shaft and any bearings it has destoyed -swap tires with the ones I just got (would have done that already but I can't kneel down so I put it off) -replace the crankshaft sensor (popped a code and might be the ultimate reason for the no-starts)
  7. technically I bought 2 cool things. they say that money can't buy happiness, but if you get lucky it can buy really old dealership posters, and really isn't that the same thing?

    ouch...

    literally every hour. what a crazy long drive that becomes...
  9. looks like the vent for the axle.
  10. WD40 should not be used as a rust inhibitor. it dissolves way too many things and then more or less evaporates with enough time. search youtube for engine storage. I'm sure there are some vids on it. the most important thing is to keep moisture from getting into the engine through the exhaust or the intake. if you leave the manifolds on the engine, it makes that job a lot easier.

    Found!!

    no problemo. I've had success rotating/re-saving/uploading them on my laptop.

    Found!!

    fixed the pics for ya
  13. that sounds like a big modification to me. I guess the original paint is likely still included.
  14. wouldn't be the first time I've pulled good parts and set them aside. do it and worry about plans later. be sure to cover them from weather exposure.
  15. anything with a factory snorkel is cool in my book I'm assuming that extra 4 in 4x4x4 means it seats 4?
  16. 8500. it looks good, but repaints make me very hesitant.
  17. cleeeeeeeean.....

    ouch...

    12 hours sitting in the KJ suuuuuuuucked....
  19. I deleted the one of the car driving by. should have plenty of space now.
  20. Pete M

    ouch...

    yup, talked the doc yesterday. MRI shows nothing requiring surgery and I'm approved to start rehab exercises. so tomorrow I'm heading back south with a to-do list. Still hurts like hell if I move the wrong way, and I can't kneel down, but it has been continuously improving so I'm looking forward to maybe being able to rotate a set of tires in a few weeks.
  21. ok, so after some digging it appears you're approaching the maximum of hosted materials. our software doesn't shrink videos so they are huge compared to the tiny pics. I can free up some space by deleting the bigger ones.
