Jedrattle's Runner: the rebuild

[Shoyrtt]

Ahhhrooo?     New buggy?  Do tell.

You were supposed to be looking out for me. I'll pm you the link.

[iNfErNaL]

I need to take the new buggy for a spin.

Not that one you were talking about @ FOJV meeting,is it?...Oh yeah,get to work Dirt!!!!!!.

[jedrattle]

 I finished my side job, 4dees wheels, and few other things....so now I can start making some progress on my pile o parts.      I messed with the stinger and winch plate yesterday. Trying to fit them up a little bit better. I am going to go and get the smog canister I am missing right now.  I got all the rear suspension stuff I needed to put leafs under the rear to get through smog. My goal is to make the night run in August.

Yes dear!!    I changed out the brake booster and master cylinder. I stepped up on both. Hopefully I will have better brakes    I am not working today so I hope to make some progress.

I don't care as long as someone is payin!!!    I haven't got much done today! I have been screwing around with the A/C system in the house. Working good now....well, at least a whole lot better than before.  I got the steering pump pulled off, to put on the PSC pump. I have to clean the brackets and pull the A/C compressor off. The drag link, compressor, and the idler pulley are trying for the same piece of real estate at full compression.     So away goes the A/C stuff. I guess I could go do that......

GET IT DONE!

[jedrattle]

   RIP 




I have decided not to finish this. I am going on to something else. Anyone want the body and frame?

[jedrattle]

  Here is why!! 













  Wait for it......








































   

It will be cut up into a cross between a landcruiser and a buggy. All of the parts out of the runner will go into it. I'll start a new thread on it soon. 








P.S. Yes I have offically lost my mind!!!

[Shoyrtt]

What changed your mind? What is the "something else"?

Edit: Oh, you are going big time "LC" on us now.

[Shoyrtt]

Green Sticker on the LC?

[jedrattle]

 Yeah, I was hating the fact of having to deal with smog and other things with the runner. I can't deal with having a crap load of money in a vehicle that I can't drive to the store. It's a pet peeve of mine!  I found this on Ebag, out in the desert. I got it on sunday. I got it registered already. New plates and all....not that I run plates but that's another story    The runner was fun but I have wanted a cruiser for a while. I could not find one to cut up for a price I was willing to pay until this one came up.  Thankfully I was dragging my feet on the runner but, now it's full steam ahead. I pulled the fenders and the bumper off today. The bumper was welded to the frame.     

[Shoyrtt]

Plates are the way to go. My "new" Jeep buggy has plates (reminds me I need to register it  ). With a green sticker you can't do all of the Big Bear trails or drive on the street in AZ.

Have you set a timetable on this build yet?

As soon as humanly possible. I cleaned the spot where it's sitting, last night. I got it registered and pulled the fenders and bumper, today. Tomorrow, I hope to get everything under the hood pulled out and start working on the motor mounts.  I gotta go to the dump right now...later!!

[John Doe]

this should be interesting ........

X2 I was really likeing the Runner build, but this should be as good, what am I saying, its going to be better! 

What off the runner are you not going to use? Half doors? front and rear Axles?

[jedrattle]

 I am using the entire driveline, axles, and everything possible out of the runner. I got a phone call yesterday and someone might be picking up the leftovers. 

[John Doe]

well if you still have the half doors, count me in as interested. 

[jedrattle]

 I will let you know.
