i think my thread just got snaked by lissas jeep :flipoff2:
the main problem was that she bought a axle shaft(both ends which aslo has a closed bearing unit) from a YJ, so the closed bearing unit was not the same, when the rotor mounted onto it was like a 1/4 inch difference which caused the rotor to hit the steering arm and knuckle, so we just changed the bearing unit and replaced the axle shaft ujoint while it was out... which led to two extra days of crap
The unit bearings for a YJ and a TJ should have been the same... Maybe it was off a Grand.
It sure doesn't, I think jerry told me they are tearing that house down now!Quote:

but yeah... i could also use some help cleaning the garage out :flipoff2:
gimme a call when ya get started, if i'm free i'll come help. 676-0449
[hijack]So all the progress is being made over there. When can I bring my Jap crap over?
I'm taking it home this weekend to look in the seelinders with a borescope and see if I can find any puddles. Even if I do I will still drive it like it is because I think this new radiator can control the temp. Also going to get the brakes working and if I can con my dad....look at the tranny problem. If I can't I'm going to need some help figuring out why the tranny turns but won't shift into 5 or R and won't spin the tcase. Then all I have to do after that is make a front bumper. Maybe I can make that July 31 trip?!?[/hijack]
We gonna get a chance to bend some tube sometime this weekend? If I can get the remaining tube bent and tacked, I can have that POS out of your way next weekend. If I get it home by friday or sat next week, I may even be able to have it running and painted by the end of the weekendQuote:

Okay, I'll be leaving my parents in about 15 minutes, so I'll give you a call as I get to town. Try to swap it tommorow or sat, so maybe we can do some bending sunday. 1 day of bending and tube notching and she should be done. I'm so close I can taste it. I need to study for a math 152 test, but I'lll try to get out there to help you some. Out of curiosity, would you be interested in some allpro rocksliders or a that rockstomper tube bumper I had on the toy?
yes yes saturday, saturday, too bad i'll be gone riding dirt bikes else i would be down! :flipoff2:Quote:
