What is that? Windshield pin?

grainger, "ball lock pin", 7/16" iirc, requires some enlarging of the holes though.

Yeah, I'm really regretting having sold George. Scott has completely taken ownership of this thing and it doesn't even feel like mine. I didn't have much of a hand in working on this one so I havn't built a bond like I had with George. Watching Scott single handedly destroy another project of his really pisses me off. At least I don't have to hear him cry again if or when I roll the Jeep. Whatever I do to roll the Jeep will not be quite as bad as rolling it within the first two minutes of taking it out. At least when I rolled it I was on a trail (...to a trail).
[QUOTE=Lynda;204337] For some reason I was reminded of this:

Yikes. Sorry Lynda. Vaya Con Dios Jorge'(HOR-HEY)
sell the patrol, buy a stock YJ, a bag of parts and some non-pink rattle cans... have fun honey! love ya!
Yeah, I bet Scott really misses working on it on the side of the trail.
Hey I worked on that Jeep just as much as he did...he just did trail fixes when he thought I was too slow. I cant' help I have midget muscles.
Anyways, his broke down far more than mine ever did.
I thought I'd have to visit The State Fair of Texas (runs 11/26-10/19, www.bigtex.com) to see a show this good! :flipoff2:;)
your mishap reminded me that i needed to order these pins. i gave the internet a good look this morning and i cant find any push button ball locks in the right size. i ended up ordering spring loaded ball locks from mcmaster, p/n 94975A659. 7/16" dia with a 3.5" grip length. these are much cheaper anyhow.
it wont measure that after you get the welds ground out.
i wanted it to look like it was meant to fit so i ground them down to 3.5". the 4" would be easier i guess.
why not drill them out?
because its an uneven surface. didnt want to try to get a drill to run straight. you can do that if you want. grind it flat at least.
hey scott, do you happen to have anymore pics of your fuel cell, also is this the one you went with? http://store.summitracing.com/partde...243+4294903827
Because i was thinking of just placing it in the bed for the time being, but eventually do what you did. Thanks
It's 9" tall and 12" wide - and not powdercoated.
I had to move it all the way back because the axle is moved back
and you don't have any problems having your in-line pump on the frame rail having to pull all that distance and lower than the tank?
no - it's supposed to be lower than the tank... I put it as low as I could on the frame rail and that was the first place I could put it...
Long story short, no problems, works great!
I found a new place to roll this. They're doing some work on one of drainage areas down the river. Excavators can make some pretty good wheeling terrain.
now?
ahh, no, Lynda might not like that. I'm drinking a Saint Arnold Stout on the couch right now and don't feel like leaving
I wonder if he has any more predictions? This could be fun!
so I weighed my ride on the way to Clayton and after unloading in Houston.
21,100 gross with both rigs, full ice chests, cloths for weekend, tools, etc...
13,360 gross unloaded
=7,740
~3,500 Patrol
=4,240 Jeep, full ice chests, and cloths bags
So - I'm guessing the Jeep weighs around 4,100
The Jeep is street legal - you could just take it to some scales by itself with no chadnutz math involved :)
good call - I might have to do that. I wasn't that interested - I only weighed the combo because Keisewetter wanted me to so he could scam the goverment out of some money for moving to NC...
:laughing: The military loves their paperwork!
What headers did you use?
I think I got them from Advance Adapters. Not sure I would get them again - but they did fit well and don't leak.
What are you going to run on the 6.0l. I am thinking about just some summit brand block huggers. Any problems with them fitting?
i doubt it. Any block headers should be fine. I don't know what I will run, but it will more than likely be something cheap like the summit brand.
where did you get your f-body oil pan from?
have either of you seen the kevco pan in person, it is a pile
better solution is stock pan and
