Mike, the show is great. For those of us with too many projects it's a reminder that a running project far outweighs perfection. Besides no matter how pretty it is, not working still equals not working.Sorry about your Jeep not being up to the task.
And..
There’s no such thing as a “ Best episode of roadkill”
Every episode sucks. Just in case you forgot.
No worries, JR found me an engine, now I just need to straighten the passenger floor pan out. Everything else is pretty minor. Nice XJ.Dang, sorry to hear about the Jeep. I love XJ’s. I’ve owned 6 and currently have a 2000 I bought for 300$ and pretty much entirely rebuilt. Windows not working are generally broken wires in the door jam or the broken solder joints on the master window switch. I guess that’s the least of your worries now.. but for future reference.
Normal motorhead crapIn typical ridiculous fashion, there has been no progress with the Mustang. I worked on the Jeep truck bed, so it can be moved, to replace the clutch in my ranger, so I can go pick up the engine General Karthief found. WTH? Two trucks....yet I have to work on one, so I can get the other, so I can make another vehicle run. I'm starting to believe I'm a little off....lol.

See this is what a true support network sounds like. Instead of "yeah, you might not want to keep doing this." They say, "I got your beer man, go for it!" Did have another awesome day today. I finally got a chance to run by a buddies house and see his projects. He's currently working on a father/son mustang project, painting one he plans to sell, and plotting on what he plans to do with his black on black notch. It's always awesome just to hear other car guys vision and passion regarding their projects. I can honestly say it always gives me a bit of fuel on my own projects and dreams.you actually thought progress would be made on the primary project...
I appreciate it Steve. I'm hoping to have the pans about done tomorrow. I may take you up on it when I go to remove/stab the engine in the Cherokee. This weekend will likely be clutch work on the Ranger, but thanks to JR's help, I'll likely have the running motor during the week. So the plan is to unbutton everything but the mounts and trans for a quick pull, then stab the other in. I found out a few years back that these inline 4.0s likely weigh the same as a decent V8. Definitely not easily lined up with just one person.Hey Rich, I know its hard for you to plan a day what with some days better than others ect. but if you want me to come over and give you a hand sometime just let me know. I know my way around a cut-off wheel and I can even bubblegum metal together pretty ok
Then JR has us all again. Most of us just use the engine bay to burn money.That's the money tree we've all been looking for
Thought I was going to have to do the same. Now I did have the front end up. Didn't figure it would work, but glad it did!I bleed Ranger hydraulics by removing the whole system from the truck. There's a couple of gravity defying bends in the lines that prevent bleeding in the truck. Will try that side step trick on the next one I have to do, its waiting on me in the Front drive.
