    Want to buy a CJ?

    … or a bunch of them?… or coffee?… or Doritos?

    I like overkill ESPECIALLY when overkill and quality go hand in hand. These little boxes are kind of a manufactured memory for me. Seems as though that almost everyone’s dad or grandpa had the old kitchen cabinets repurposed out in the garage and they were always filled with little wood boxes made of drawer fronts, 1x4s, or warped old bread pans. Then they’re always filled with random screws, nails, and rusty hinges that had little chance of ever being used again. Sometimes there’s that fancy garage with an apothecary cabinet but it’s still stuffed to the point that the boxes either don’t close or are jammed shut. Very rarely would anything leave these little boxes. Hang a new mail box or build a bird house with the grandkids?… you know that old garbage went in a box and forgotten about after the creaky doors shut. I really enjoy simple things like that. Not that I plan on filling my new boxes with tetanus coated tchotchkes, but the next guy might.

    Welp… it’s getting cold again. Progress is still happening though! This morning I went into work to try and tackle a problem that goes way back to shop #1… hardware storage. Forever I’ve put up with the cheesy plastic bins with the terrible metal racks that fill up counter space. Over time they crack and fall apart while the rack eventually bellies in the middle and folds in like a card house if you try to move it. I’m over it. I work at a cabinet shop… don’t tell anyone. I’m still a metal guy but wood and I have a common agreement based on proximity and employment. We’re a CNC shop and I drew up parts to fill a full sheet that’ll make 20 of these finger joint boxes. Some will go here… … once I build out the steps, and some will go high on a shelf under the loft. Maybe I’ll make more? We’ll see after I figure a shelf. Not exactly priority type work, but work none the less. I’ll need storage solutions once I start unpacking more boxes.

    Does that main hoop fit with the interior plastics and trim still installed also?

    Moving this to Tech for more members to see it.

    I’ve been at my parent’s place for MULTIPLE holidays where a major appliance has failed. Cooking dinner?… oven crapped out. Fridge full of food?… warm and spoiled. Never the same appliance, but there was a time that it’s all we talked about was “what’s it going to be this year?”

    CC cookbook

    neohic replied to jdog's topic in The Pub

    Long time lurker… first time poster here. 3 apples or 4 peaches 1/2 stick butter 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice 1/4 cup brown sugar Slice the fruit into 1/4” half moon slices. Remove the core/pits… obviously. Put it all in a bowl and add the lemon juice. Let it sit for a minute while you get the rest of your stuff together. In a medium sauce pan add the brown sugar, butter, and (full knowing it’s not on the ingredients list) throw in a splash of liquor or your choice or maple syrup. Add black berries too if that’s what you’re feeling like. Cinnamon? … why not? Start the stovetop at medium heat and stir the sugar/butter/liquor/whatever until mixed and all liquid. Add the fruit. Let it all cook down for about 20-30 minutes continuously stirring. Once it all caramelizes turn the heat down to low for another 10 minutes or so to thicken it up. Put that gooey $#!& on pancakes, French toast, ice cream, cinnamon rolls, or whatever else that gives you that cozy day feeling. This is kind of a free for all type recipe. Add to it! Enjoy however.

    Tons of upgrades!!!… terrible console. https://cosprings.craigslist.org/cto/d/colorado-springs-1988-jeep-comanche/7419115800.html

    Very sharp! Kind of feels like a throw back for those of us with lifted red Eliminators. Looking forward to seeing more!

    Only one more post from the OP and we can actually move this to the For Sale section.

    What about exhaust manifold clearance? Those heads look WIDE. Super in for this project as well. Tip of the cap for trying something new.

    Rad! Welcome aboard.

    Are there any vehicles with this engine that had a rear sump? Curious why you couldn’t move the whole works towards the firewall.
  17. neohic
    Oof… hoping everything is as well as can be.

    Find yourself an 8.25 from an XJ to put under it. That 35 you’ve got with the big nut at the hub is a two piece axle and needs to be put out of its misery.

    Been a rough few weeks with some other things going on but today I finally got some more electrical done. The remainder of the conduit was run along with wire, and then I hung lights. There’s a couple more things to wrap up for the ceiling. The two exterior lights need to be mounted yet too. Then there’s this… … which looks way worse than it is. Otherwise the extension cord from the house should no longer needed soon and I can turn the rest of the lights on for real. Gonna be bright!

    Small update… finally got the exterior of the shop where it should’ve been before last winter. The first was the carport roof needing a few trim pieces to cover some bare wood. The other was to wrap up the carriage doors. They still had steel siding screws keeping the hinges in place so when I open and close they would creek and slightly move around. The carriage bolts go all the way through the wall. They’re 10” long for the wall side of the hinge with about an inch of thread left to cut off. Next was the gasket at the bottom of the doors. I originally put a typical garage door gasket under them but after moving then for a year it started to tear in places. Not crazy that I couldn’t find the right color but I like that I can easily change it should I need to. I started to pick at the wiring but quickly ran out of interest so that was that.

    I’ll second that!

    I really liked the 5.2 I put in my old ‘86. It was an early model before the changes to the firewall so a 4.0 wouldn’t fit without some massaging. A 5.9 would be more fun and the packaging would be exactly the same so there’s no issue fitting under the hood. ZJ or Dodge donors are cheap too! Start a build thread for everyone to follow along.

    Did the biannual yard haircut yesterday. Definitely makes the property look bigger but very bland. Wrapped up the planters for winter also. It already snowed a couple times here. Getting to be that time of year again! … then went out for a treat.
