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 · « **Reply #252 on:** Jul 18, 2008, 02:01:29 PM »

RIP

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

jedrattle · « **Reply #253 on:** Jul 18, 2008, 02:07:12 PM »

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!!!

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

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

Shoyrtt · « **Reply #255 on:** Jul 18, 2008, 02:10:33 PM »

Green Sticker on the LC?

jedrattle · « **Reply #256 on:** Jul 18, 2008, 02:16:58 PM »

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.

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!!

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 · « **Reply #261 on:** Jul 20, 2008, 08:11:13 AM »

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 · « **Reply #262 on:** Jul 20, 2008, 08:22:20 AM »

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

jedrattle · « **Reply #263 on:** Jul 20, 2008, 08:36:07 AM »
