Need a 4BT? I was over my buddy's house last night, and he had at least 5 laying around, He sold one yesterday afternoon.

I'm going to get that when I get the cash.

Where do I find Xylene? Home Depot? Lowes? My buddy told me to get some simple green, and try that. I think it is a RE 5.5 kit. Or at least some sort of a knock off.... On another note, I power washed it today, everything under the hood, and on the bottom, down till I could see paint. The high pressure water just isn't enough for the fine film of grease on the paint though, so it still needs something before I can paint it. I'll have pictures tomorrow of it all clean (almost clean).

They do have a point.

Oh, and I'll be in the Ft. Myers area next weekend. :D

Does your phone have a record message feature? You can record her when she talks to you (face to face), and then whip out the message with your buddy, and let him hear it. Also, if he's the "last called" contact, or he's on speed dial, call him with your cell phone in your pocket, but don't talk to him, just keep talking to her, face to face, no speaker phone, your voice will be loud enough for him to hear, but he won't be so loud that she will hear him on the phone. On another note, you can always set her up on a date with your other buddy, with a known time/place confirmation from him, and then take buddy #1 over there, so he gets to witness her trying to kiss/get carried away with buddy #2. There's always the "SMACK-A-B1TCH" option, knock some sense into her.

New pictures: http://swatoffroad.com/images/mj/071707 Going to figure out the best way to go about cleaning all the grease and oil off it to I can rough up the paint, and apply some rattle can. Would I be best off with Acetone and tons of clean rags after a good pressure washing?

I put 3 scratches on yesterday. the one on my right arm wasn't deep, but it took enough skin for it to make puss and sting.

The cab extension will essentially get a floor made, and be bolted on the front of the bed, so the rear window can be reached through, for more storage space. It's a simple idea if you think about it, nothing special. I had Wildman come over today, we got the engine, and the entire wiring harness out, and a few other doo-dads. We loaded it all into the back of his van, so now the MJ sits with another 3-4 inches of "lift" up front. Tomorrow, I'll begin cleaning engine bay, and underside, get it in tip top shape. Paint what needs to be painted in the engine bay, and under the MJ. I didn't get a chance for pics today, I'll try to get some before working on it in the AM.

Nah...

Nope, I'm doing the 97+ stock tails, but my tailgate won't be stock when I finish it. There will be no recessed area on it. But it will be filled in with the skin of a 97+ XJ's hatch area where the license plate fits onto. I think it will have a nice finish to it.

3.75% and you got a deal. It would sure be a fun thing to do... It's actual purpose will be in my future bruiser.

As promised, pictures: http://swatoffroad.com/images/mj/071607/ They are a bit bigger, so dial up beware!

If anybody wants to pay off my new engine and tranny, I'll put it in my MJ for a little while... 4.7L V8/545RFE tranny out of a 99 WJ.... That could be my birthday present... :D I only owe $800 on it....

While we're talking about birthdays, what's everybody going to buy me for mine the Saturday after next??? :D Come on Joel, IIRC mine is a day before your's. ;) Hmm... well... umm... uhh... I know! You can have a envelope filled with ____ for cost of postage stamp! ____ can be anything from air to a sticker, maybe a nut off my jeep, hell, i have an old service warranty authorization card from a 94 mercury sable complete with VIN number! There's so many things we can send in an envelope!

I make smart @$$ comments... :D And I act hard core... Sometimes.... :D I agree with you though, this is among the better sites out there.

Rokhound, just wait, in 10yrs, you'll go onto eBah and you'll be able to sell your avatar for 25k or more, and it will still be funny as hell too! On a more serious note, Comanche parts then, will go for 10 times what they do now, or maybe they will be free because by then, we will upgrade to late 90's XJ's... lol

Well, interior is damn near almost completely gutted. been spraying some spots of black spray paint here and there on the truck as I go, it's my only defense to the damn bees... eventually it will see new paint anyways, so spots don't concern me. its enough that its a little noticeable, but it rids the bees... On another note, I am about half way through peeling my carpet back, and the rust is much better than I was thinking it would be. I know theres a hole on the outer foot well on the driver side, but that seems to be the worst of it. the rest, so far seems to be like spots and specs of rust the size of grains of coarse sand, so it's really in good shape, which I'm pretty happy about. The wiring, steering column, and the heater box and the front half of the carpet is about all thats left to come out. I'm leaving the trim in for right now, except where it meets the carpet, thats out. Anyways, came in to update, get a drink, and talk to someone for a few mins on the phone, and it's getting to be time to go back out. Pictures to come later on...

That one just stood out to me, but there are some odd people who choose some sketchy names...

anybody notice our newest member, "onlinepokerr"? I wonder if it will turn up to be a spam bot or just somebody who likes the online poker scene...

It would have with about 3 quarts of oil, a new battery, and maybe 10 mins worth of work. Everything was hooked up, and it worked beforehand, so I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Bring em on! I gotta head out in like 15-20...

I wish it would rain. I have garage, but it's too hot. I have a garage, but theres already half a rig in there, and a bunch of other crap, so theres no room to work...
