  1. Just saw the post... that is a sweeeeet looking MJ!
  2. Nashville traffic is as bad as Chicago's or Atlanta's anymore. Even the back roads stay clogged up with idiots. Might as well forget it when its rains or SNOWS! lol
  3. Looking good!
  4. Meant CMS, but I like the input on the CPS too, it may be it. And as I said long ago, coils go bad at end of life, and 140k is EOL.
  5. I wouldn't trust any white/box aftermarket distributor now a days... CPS may still be your culprit.
  6. A few days behind posting, but charged the battery and took a trail down to the local creek to get a load of creek rock for the garden.
  7. I'm a gasoline in the hole kinda guy lol. I was mowing one day in the back yard and see my wife running and flailing about in every direction... she found a nest the hard way. Gas in the hole and a big rock and they were no more... RIP
  8. Well that royally sucks lol
  9. The mats are the best thing ever. I built a countertop for my salvage yard out of these. You can throw anything on them and don't have to worry about it.
  10. Tried to start it last weekend, but the batter was dead lol
  11. Forgot the car chase in Kung Fu Yoga with the Lion!! Armour of God is also called Operation Condor 2 btw...
  12. Come on now, where is the love for the imports??? Jackie Chan owned a large stake in Mitsubishi, so cars are prevalent in his movies - "Who Am I?" is the best by far with an Mitsu Evo in a rally and in chase scenes with cops and the baddies in BMWs. But that's not the only one, you need to look at thunderbolt, Wheels on Meals, Police Story, Armour of God, Operation Condor 2, Rumble in the Brox, the Accidental Spy, etc. From destroying entire villages in a car chase to jousting with a hover craft... Jackie Chan is the CAR MAN!
  13. lol. Haven't seen that in over 20 years!
  14. Just depends on how big the jobs are at the time, some Saturdays we run, some we don't. I'd definitely like to go.
  15. Owning a rock quarry and having employees... you just never know what's going to happen until it happens lol Plus, I have to keep the boss happy. I lived in Reading for a couple years, would be nice to see old friends...
  16. Aha! Would like to go, have no idea what I'll be doing that far in the future lol
  17. Cool beans! Too late for me, I bought the cheap aftermarket ones that have cables that are too long for the adjuster lol.
  18. I will say, when I owned my salvage yard, we sold many "white box" distributors that were made in China. They are notorious for crapping out in less than a year. Though more expensive, you are better off to rebuild a oem unit. It got so bad that Platinum/Dorman quit selling distributors for a bit because of it. That being said, it's def. electrical. My 89 Renix did the same thing a while back. First I thought it was the coil - replaced it, seemed fine until it wasn't. Finally replaced ignition module and it was all good. I'd lean on the distributor if it wasn't a reputable brand, if not CPS. Heat, bad quality control, & poor soldering means intermittent open circuit... the absolute worst problem to solve!
  19. I am so behind... lol, when/where/what is going on in Carlisle???
  20. Saw this one for sale today... he started pulling it apart for a V8 swap then realized he's over his head. He won't sell it at this price, it's sure to drop in time... https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/548794449449930/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_top_picks&referral_story_type=top_picks&tracking={"qid"%3A"6969202598764932550"%2C"mf_story_key"%3A"408420958272356966"%2C"commerce_rank_obj"%3A"{\"target_id\"%3A408420958272356966%2C\"target_type\"%3A6%2C\"primary_position\"%3A0%2C\"ranking_signature\"%3A6524233653961097216%2C\"commerce_channel\"%3A501%2C\"value\"%3A0%2C\"upsell_type\"%3A21%2C\"grouping_info\"%3Anull}"}
  21. I've seen body shops that aren't that nice lol
  22. Better not let her see your CC account! lol
  23. The touch up is the main reason I don't like the metallics or even clear coat for that matter on an off-road rig. With enamel & urethane, if you have a problem, spray a little more on and buff it out. That trailer would look good behind my rig! I plan on building one soon. Thought about putting full axle under it to match my front or rear. That way if I break something on the trail I'll have spares - tire/wheel, axle shaft, spring, diff, etc. I want to go a little taller and have a roof tent too. I started the idea with my Defender - have a stripped Disco frame with suspension, the rest is pretty simple. Unfortunately, work tends to get in the way of the work I want to do!
  24. I didn't even think about that, but it is about the color of Rustoleum Smoke Grey! We use that here at the quarry to paint conveyors. Did you top coat it or is that just paint? Looks slick in the photo. I got where I really liked spraying urethane - flows like water, just have to be on your toes or you'll run it to the floor lol.
