JeepcoMJ Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 So is there a set date for the LKQ run? In about a month I will be all set to tag along, not going to be able to do much of anything though except walk around. I'm protobably going to be on the prowl for some parts in a few months. How about february 6 th. I can only go on sundays since I work til noon on saturdays...
500 MJ Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Dat will work. As long as we wait until Feb, I'll be able to drive the '90. I should be able to be there sometime after noon.
Jakeman17 Posted January 7, 2011 Author Posted January 7, 2011 Sundays work best for me since Sunday is my day off
JeepcoMJ Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 after some talk with Brent, we are rescheduling for the 2nd sunday of february...the 13th. reason being, the Packers will be @ the Super Bowl...and there is need for pregaming, and can't miss the start of the game.
500 MJ Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 So here is the game-plan from my end: I've found a buyer for the ZJ, he'll be coming by to get it this week. So I won't be needing to look for a transmission for that thing. I am going to be looking for a good Renix motor now. If I find one here at LKQ that is worth pulling, I'll probably be looking to grab it. If not, I've found one in South Beloit at a yard for $250, 124K, tested before it was pulled with a 3 month warranty and I'll go that route. Of course I'll be looking for other fun stuff while we are there. Should be a good day picking. Might even find something for Valentines Day in the yard too, who knows. Look for me to be there around noon on Sunday.
Jakeman17 Posted February 8, 2011 Author Posted February 8, 2011 Sounds good If we r lucky ill bring the MJ but chances are the Beretta will be there
whowey Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I'll be out for moral support at the least. Noon, Brent??? Little late for you to be starting the day. Least Rob won't complain about how early you like to get going on stuff. :rotf:
500 MJ Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Yep. You guys and going out on your Sundays and all. I gotta hit up the first service at Church, then I'm coming home, changing and getting on the road. ;) Today started just like every other day, up at 5:15, out the door at 6:00. I'm in bed each night by 9:15. You get used to it, especially when you are home each day from work well before 5.

It's Scout Sabbath and the Methodist Church being our charter organization wants the boys to come and do something at the service.
JeepcoMJ Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 this gives us 4 hours to pick through. I'll be there at 11am. Rob, styp by your place on the way down? you want to ride with?
Jakeman17 Posted February 9, 2011 Author Posted February 9, 2011 11 works for me Ashley said she wants to bring MJ so we will be in that
whowey Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 11 works for meAshley said she wants to bring MJ so we will be in that Well at least she is smart enough to know to never trust a $#!&ty to get you anywhere important.
Jakeman17 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Posted February 10, 2011 Funny guy Will! I got your CDs for you also
JeepcoMJ Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Well I got asked to work sunday at double time for 11 hours so I will not make this one. We have to get two trucks dressed up and move everything on the lot so the snow can be removed [list=]
500 MJ Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Should we wait for another weekend? I'm really in no rush, I can use my Sunday afternoon doing other stuff that I really need to get done.
whowey Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I will be later than noon... Found out the service we are doing our scout stuff is the contemporary one from 10:45 till 12.
JeepcoMJ Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 it's up to you, Brent. I'd like to go...but I need the money.
500 MJ Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Were you going to go there for anything in particular Jake/Ashley? Could you guys wait a few weeks? I'm looking next at March sometime...?
Jakeman17 Posted February 11, 2011 Author Posted February 11, 2011 Nothing major Wing windows Antenna stuff Window handle Seat belt stuff We could wait
Jakeman17 Posted February 11, 2011 Author Posted February 11, 2011 So who else is planning to make it? Brent How hard is it to change ignition cylinder??
500 MJ Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 You've got to pull the steering wheel and take the lock plate off to get in there and do the job. You really should have a lock plate removal tool to do this, makes it way easier. Once you are in the column, it is pretty easy to get the old one out and put the new one in, just a couple screws hold it in, swapping it out will take you about 5 minutes. I've got to do this job on the new XJ that I bought once it gets nice out...
JeepcoMJ Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 I would also have to be looking at march. bro's got some medical things coming up, so I'm going to plan on hanging out with him for awhile.
