Nice Zuk... I especially like the 40% of lug nuts that are missing on the front wheel...

just kidding....

I spent years trying to get my wife to go with me... She's no dummy (other than marrying me, go on, someone was gonna say it), as soon as I tore it down she says, "well, I guess I'll go now..." Thanks... As soon as I have a running vehicle, I suspect the excuses will return.

Don't let your girlfriend NOT go, because then she will always find a reason not to...

I'm just east of colerain ave off springdale.About three miles from northgate mall.We can meet at Lowes or someplace near. I plan on meeting Tom (Comanchedude) and his group in Ross around 8:00am. From Ross we drive out 126.

Good luck with the girlfriend... I gave up on trying to get my wife involved in wheeling. She hates dirt,mudd,buggs,and jeeps with no doors throwing mudd on her.

Go Bengals!!WHO-DEY!!!!

thank you! i have "new" hubs with all 5 good studs, but havent taken the time to do it yet haha

and the only reason i dont push her to hard about going is bc she has scoliosis (crooked spine) and hard plastic seats are rough on her. she has knots in her back for weeks :(

ok, ill let ya know, i might just have to meet yall out there, well see tho.

Im gonna try for a while more b4 i give up, she tries to like the things i like bc she knowes i enjoy them. but she HATES getting dirty/muddy i figured after 6 years of us being together id break her of that but no luck so far. she is OCD about being clean and germs and stuff, me on the other hand, ill eat a sandwich with my hands black with grease

Coppertop · 12-17-2009, 10:24 PM

The heep got a wash on monday,finally getting the Badlands mud off from oct,even treated her to a hott wax.

That should make the Haspin mudd fall right off.

Robert you going?? I heard from Matt today, looks like he may go.He's starting a thread over on NAXJA.

Nick

Go Bengals!!WHO-DEY!!!

WrenchMonkey · 12-18-2009, 02:10 AM

I dunno...

It turned over 200k Friday, ran fine Saturday, put an axle seal in it Sunday, then it wouldn't start Monday. Still sitting, haven't even looked at it.

Dumped $300 in brakes into the Ford so I can get to work, now it looks like it needs another wheel bearing.

I'm completely out of time, money, and patience, and need a whole lot of all three for Christmas next week.

We'll see...

Robert

itbrokeagain · 12-18-2009, 02:18 AM

If you dont mind the open diff Xj coming along i will be there. I do have some 31 inch MTs on it though. Too cold for my Yj. I also have to leave no later than 1:30 because of my wifes family christmas crap.

Coppertop · 12-18-2009, 09:13 AM

Nope ,don't mind wheeling with open diff rigs. Especially a XJ....

Hate those jeeps that turn over 200,000 than won't start... Hope you make it Robert.

Nick

Go Bengals!!WHO-DEY!!!!

comanchedude · 12-18-2009, 02:04 PM

I'll pay you $75 an hour to fix it for me. That's a pretty good shop rate, right?

Should come out to about $6.25...

Well, that'd just be dishonest, on a five minute fix!

Robert

Coppertop · 12-19-2009, 08:20 PM

Just checked the weather.. Looks like snow and/or rain all week.

Thinkin' the hot waxin' was a good idea...

Nick

your right, it is. i work for a dealership so we have the hour minimum crap. i feel bad for the guys who have to pay $95 for an hours labor when it only takes like 5 min to fix their truck :(

Coppertop · 12-20-2009, 10:25 AM

Yep,Just glad I have a garage,tools,and the abilty to work on my on junk...

I like the sidework too. Gave a guy a 350.00 price to put a rear main seal in his Nissan Xterra yesterday.He just smiled and said when can you do it.

Looks like I'll be ordering my on-board air system soon.

Nick

Go Bengals!!WHO-DEY!!!!

itbrokeagain · 12-20-2009, 09:59 PM

Might have to work. If I do I will do the hangover run instead.

kb9qdi · 12-20-2009, 10:38 PM

^^Ditto. I'm working Saturday also but will be attending the NY Day run. Have fun and be safe on the 26th!

itbrokeagain · 12-22-2009, 11:59 AM

31's I got from 944drsk no lift and some trimming. I have a 3 inch lift I will be putting on soon but for now this is how it is.

About 95% sure I will be going Saturday

Looks like it should be a fun and warm ride!

itbrokeagain · 12-22-2009, 12:47 PM

The exact reason I want to get rid of my Yj.

Coppertop · 12-22-2009, 08:06 PM

Good looking red xj.... What year?

Thinking the warm rides will be nice on saturday. The weather looks cold,wet, and muddy.Maybe a little snow if we're lucky.

comanchedude · 12-23-2009, 10:20 AM

Well my Comanches 5 straight years of total reliability ended last night while my daughter was using it..The fuel pump died... so If anyone has a good used fuel pump let me know I can not get a pump local cheap enough, and had to order online (more than half the price of local parts store) but it wont be here in time for the wheeling trips.. So looking for a good used pump somebody might have that I can use. one from a 4.0 XJ 87-91 will also work
