If I'm on the highway I'm fine, but throw me in traffic and I stop paying attention to one or the other. The problem is though, on the highway my dodge is so loud that I can't hear anything...
That's pretty cool!
You should see some of the fish that are out where I'm on tour... We're providing helicopter services to fishing lodges on the Queen Charlotte islands. A guy last week got a 154lb halibut! And there's been some salmon in the 60 to 70lb range! But the guests are paying over 1000 a day, so I guess they'd better get something good!
BC is nice, but some things are more pricey.
Anyways, do you just plan to convert to 4wd, or to lift/wheel it too? You might be better off getting a SYE and a double cardon driveshaft for the rear now instead of sourcing a stock rear driveshaft (which will be hard to find) if you do plan to wheel it a bunch at some point.
Not with mild steel. Which is the case here. But I don't like sawzalls for that type of thing personally. Although, I have used them for it before.
And I shy away from cheap disks and such. We have a place here called 'princess auto' which is pretty much the same as HF, and the flap disks from there are lethal. They explode during use.
Don't own a good grinder? I have a nice dewalt 5", and if I put a high quality wheel in it I can cut through that stuff like butter. Maybe 15 minutes to remove them and clean everything up so you wouldn't know.
Otherwise I have no idea what it'd cost. With a torch it could be done in a couple minutes, probably under the minimum charge for a machine/welding shop.
So I guess this thing got dropped off at my parents house. I haven't got a nasty email from them yet, so it might be okay. At least I remembered to tell them that a jeep might show up out of the blue... I seem to recall telling them it was in 'alright shape' and wouldn't vastly decrease the property value. I'm not sure if that's true or not.
Back off tour in a week... Maybe do a week in the hanger... Then I'll go see what this thing is like.
Oh jeeze. And I bet you also think the clutch has a purpose? :nuts:
I powershifted the hell out of my puker. I don't think that was the deciding factor. I think it was the clutch dumps from 4k rpm. Maybe. But you can't really be sure, other than my tranny dun work right anymore...
Hmm, I'm on a tour, and here it is only about 14* C as a maximum... Not gonna convert that, but it's fairly chilly. And it's windy/rainy every day.
Nothing like what you're seeing.
I've broke that white plastic insert a couple times. I pulled it right off power shifting more than once. It's annoying. The shifter knob itself is fine, but the insert is junk.
I get about 1000km off 120L of diesel... Wanna figure that out? Okay, it's about 19.5mpg. Sometimes better, sometimes worse. That's with a cummins 6BT (5.9L) in a 6500lb truck.
But, that's highly irrelevent info on a comanche forum, eh?
