Geonovast Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Since my dad got his new one, we've decided to strip out both the donor and the receiver to save his innerds. Got the first one stripped today, going to the crusher in the morning. Many, many, many thanks to $500 MJ, automan2164 +1, in helping me get this all done in one day! As the title says, still got one to go. No motor or trans in this one, but I need to change both axles. Still not sure when this will happen. Still probably a few weeks away. The more people that can come, the better, even if you're not wrenching! I'll post up possible dates when I get some.
Automan2164 Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Great time! We all had fun, I got some parts, and the power harnesses that I needed, along with the keyless stuff :brows: . Fun wrenching, can't wait to do it again. Even caught some of the power tour heading over to geonovast's. Clocked about 230 miles. More pics: Rob L.
500 MJ Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 I love how much squat that XJ had in the back once we got the motor out of it. Looks like its ready to launch now :rotf: Also, how bad are the oil stains in your car-port Correy? :grrrr:
Geonovast Posted June 8, 2009 Author Posted June 8, 2009 Also, how bad are the oil stains in your car-port Correy? :grrrr: Not as bad as I'd expected. They're just new stains on top of old stains anyway. If I can find the money, I'm gonna clean it up as much as I can, paint it, and do an expoxy coat so future stains will literally wipe right off. Then they can't complain about me doing car work, because the oil stains is the reason they gave me for not wanting me to do it. They already approved me painting, too. Just gotta get the $$$.
Automan2164 Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Let me also add, that wade's truck(89eliminator), in person, is absofreakinlutly THE cleanest truck I have seen. :drool: Even with the damage to the flair. And wheeling it none the less? I would hate taking it out in the rain! Props to you Wade. Well done. Sick, just plain ol' sick. Rob L.

We'll see how she compares to my '88 ;) :rotfl2:
mvusse Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 I have wheeled with Wade, and looking at the truck in the camp ground it looks like a mall crawler. Way too nice to wheel. But he does.

whowey Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 That is one TRASHED brake rotor in the one picture.... I used to have a set of those on the wall in my garage off of my SIL's car.

Yep, came off the $400 XJ. Just take it with as a gag now. Travels with me in the car. Got all the way through the fins, and overheated the rotor until it separated from the hat of the rotor. PO's take on the rotor: "It just exploded..." Yeah right. More like slowly met its demise grinding against the piston of the caliper. :roll: Rob L.

I apologize in advance for this one: :rotfl2: From the sounds of things, it would go something like this...
Automan2164 Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 So I guess what I am saying Wade, next time you bring your truck, be sure to have some plastic around it, things could get messy. Rob L.

Geonovast Posted July 10, 2009 Author Posted July 10, 2009 This weekend's too soon, next weekend's my anniversary, so I'm thinking the 25th would be good to strip out that other XJ. Since my 2.5 has managed to wreck a 35, I'm somewhat anxious to get my 4.10 axles into my red MJ. Are any of you free the 25th or 26th?
BlueXJ Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Wade there are a few of us that are lost since we have never seen your truck. How about some pics. Blue

What about the weekend after (7/31-8/1)? I am free then. Unless Whatever the girlfriend has planned for a "birthday suprise" :dunno: Falls on that weekend. Rob L.
