  1. Here you go ..
  2. Sorry but you just used up all your LUCK finding the four leaf clover .. :fs1:
  3. Gotta get those 2.2 tires off and put a set of 1.9 tires/rims on it. Will help with the tire rub without cutting up the body. I have a AX10 I converted to a SCX10 (Framed) chassis. Still have the Bomber Betty body on it though. I've been in RC for years, my first car was a Tamiya Rough rider in the 80's. Crawlers just plain RULE! Also, Mount the battery up front and grab some stick on wheel weights and wrap then to the inside of the front rims. You can Crawl over just about anything without flipping. Just watch coming back down. :eek:
  4. Night Vision Targeting Screen. :clapping: Wouldn't that be cool! I tried to find a GPS that worked in portrait so I could replace that whole module with some tech. I am still looking but haven't found anything yet.
  5. There is always the under $99.00 5000btu A/c for the window. This helps keep the nosie neighbors out while you try to finish up at a decent hour. :rotf:
  6. I want to know what happened to the other half of the truck! :rotf:
  7. I have to quote Judas Priest on this one: "You can hang in a left or hang in a right The choice it is yours to do as you might The road is open wide to place your bidding Now, wherever you turn, wherever you go If you get it wrong, at least you can know There's miles and miles to put it back together! And I'm heading out to the highway I got nothing to lose at all I'm gonna do it my way"
  8. I had a similar situation and found it was a plugged fuel injector on he first cylinder. Was the spark plug blue in color from the front cylinder?
  9. Not at 13mpg it wouldn't. :fs1: My buddy leased one of them darn things. Almost ended up alongside of the road on fire. :no:
  10. Oil is SO over rated. :brows: 42k is just a break in period on these motors. Is the motor bad or do you just want the stroker?
  11. I would make that my DD! Fix the trim get a nice set of rims and tires and enjoy the 1k ride! Find something else to cut up. Or if you insist on chopping it up, use the XJ as the base for making a 4dr Comanche! :brows:
  12. It's Jersey. No real reason, just Jersey. :rotf:
  13. Wonder if the bullets are live rounds?
  14. This is where I got mine from and probably half the crowd here did too. Work GREAT!! My front injector was completely plugged only running on 5 cyl. http://www.precisionautoinjectors.com/c ... tegoryId=3 Anthony
  15. Would have been much better if it were a "Jeep Gladiator" commercial. Maybe Jeep can get it right for next year.
  16. Looks like my 89 Eliminator, the paint is a victim of the dreaded Car Wash.
  17. Going on Three for me. :cry: On the bright side, I should have it ready before its 25th birthday! :banana:
  18. Just shot the glove box last night and it is looking good! Couldn;t scratch it off this morning with my finger nail. Good sign! Duplicolor Dark Grey vinyl/fabric paint is a slight shade off from the 23yo dash in my truck. I plan to shoot the dash over the weekend. I'll post before/after picks once complete. Anthony
  19. Moving forward again on the Resto again. Interior is almost complete with the exception of the dash. I was looking into hitting it with Duplicolor Vinyl (Dark Grey) but thought, why not vinyl wrap it? Heck, If I can find a dark grey "leatherette" 3-5mil vinyl, it might just work. I have dozens of these vinyl shop that opened by me recently. I am going to swing by this week and see what they have. I don't want to remove the dash from the truck and I though this would be a pretty clean and easy job. If I removed the dash, I would use the real stuff with contact spray. Any idea's? Anthony
  20. As requested - NEW Pics of interior removed!. I love them floor pans, bit of surface rust and shinny! That e-brake cable is a pain in the arse. Old Carpet: New ACC carpet, I plan on using the old mass backing That's all the pics for now. I am going to get the new carpet back in this week. I have a noce new set of speakers / sound barrier sheets / and a bunch of little items to take care of. I will keep you all posted!. Anthony
  21. I am looking for the wood dash bezel from a late '80's / early '90's XJ or MJ. Anthony
  22. Thinking about keeping it but not really sure. Do you have a set of rust/dent free doors in black? :brows:
  23. Most of the work was done on suspension/brakes/ and engine so there no much to look at. Yes, the truck is going to be painted black again.
  24. It's almost two years later and I am back in the swing of getting this truck restored. I've been using it on and off as a daily driver and she's been running pretty good. Within the next couple of weeks, the interior is getting done. Dash is being worked on at the moment. Need to get some brighter lights in the dash, clean it up and revinyl it.. Will keep posting as thing progress. Anthony
