jeep stuff and now a volvo!

Too bad. Sounds like it was fun!

well. nobody seemed too interested in buying it. not for what I feel I need to get out of it anyways.

got tired of the swampers. so I got some 33" bfg mall terrains for daily use.

drilled out the bumper and installed the d-rings.

found some mud with the mall terrains.

figured I might as well get back to it, pulled the dana 44 out from under the work bench. cleaned it up. ordered my arm-coil-shock brackets from ballistic (hope they actually show up).

 

[y5mgisi]

Good job for not letting it go for cheap!

 

[1BEATK5]

the deal on my new daily driver fell threw anyways.

 

[1BEATK5]

been busy getting stuff done. lets start with the LJ.

got a brand new full length "tuffy" console for half price $200.

flipped 17k miles the other day.....didn't drive it for a week after. went wheeling. got stuck and had to use the winch on myself.

I moved, and my new place has a deck, so I can park under it with the doors and windows out and not get rain in it.

lets move on to the dana 44 front.

polished it up. cut the leaf spring mount back so I could mock up my coil brackets. had to borrow some brackets from my buddy because ballistic took 3 weeks to send mine. (I knew that would happen)

popped a carrier in to check the axle fitment....wtf? axles are too short. the drivers side only goes in 3/4". passengers is a little better, but not right.
they didn't narrow it enough. so now Its on its way back to get fixed. this time I sent it with the shafts and a carrier, which they said wasn't needed. APPARENTLY it was needed.

busted on my brothers xj. cut the fenders, gutted the mouse piss carpet. killed the mouse. slapped some bed liner in. got it back together. fixed his ox locker so it will actually work. redrilled and mounted the roof rack. he drove it about 2 miles. called me. rf brake caliper locked up. so next weekend I will do that.

 

[y5mgisi]

Good stuff! Where is your new place?

 

[1BEATK5]

moved to my dad's old house in Tigard. right by the I-5 217 interchange. 4 car garage, and a bigger lot

got a new sticker too

 

[y5mgisi]

Nice man! That's exciting!

 

[1BEATK5]

It doubled my commute to work. Takes me half the time though. The xj went from 11mpg to almost 15.

The garage will be nice as soon as I get all my uncle and cousin's crap out of it. I have enough parking for 10 cars. Quiet street backed up to some warehouses and my boss lives 4 houses down

Sounds like plenty of room for a blazer project.

 

[y5mgisi]

Yep. That's bad ass dude.

Sounds like plenty of room for a blazer project.

Nope. I'm done with full size trucks for now. It's weird saying that. I have 1 gm product left. I'm going to get moving on it after the jeep thing slows down a bit.

finally rolled the rear fender lips. painted some bedliner on for now.

 

[y5mgisi]

Much mo betta.

 

[1BEATK5]

Sold the k5. Sad day.

The guy was driving a sweet k30 crew cab though

 

[y5mgisi]

Crazy. Is the girl on the trailer 18?

 

[1BEATK5]

I think so. She has a k5 too
