I took a pic like that, but I'm gonna go have some Ice Cream. I'll post it tomorrow.

 

I am glad you are getting it wrapped Steve. Having the issues you have had are like going to the dairy and getting a bad glass of milk. For me, it is more like going to the store and having it be sour and take a long time.

I said I did not want to leave the shop with a rig they were not comfortable sending out or that I would be uncomfortable daily driving. As a result, it is looking like 3 months total.

The head tech is on vacation this week, so pretty much it will sit.

Some times a person has to hit an obstacle with momentum, most of the time that is a bad idea. Moab is a whole different sort of driving.

Out East, I would have two lockers before I had a crawler. Oh wait, I do and I will.

 

And when did this start? (I'm just trying to figure out how much longer you'll be without the cheese-mobile)

 

Truck arrived April 24th.

First call around the 15th of January.

First cash by the 31st of January.

Looking good for the 24th of July otherwise it may not be until 10th of August.

 

Wow, looks like you should just wait another 2 weeks and get it in time for the CO4RJ.

Where else are you gonna go?

 

And the Gods smiled down on me today.

The only good news after 12.5 hours of work today was the only problem left is swapping the adaptor. Then she will be all done.

This means it should finally be over on July 17th.

I thought about just coming back and getting it for the Jambo, but I need to install my winch, measure and order new lower control arms, Line-X the rockers, powdercoat my bumper...

 

Good News. Where else are you going to go? Ask him if he will ever do another 3.4 swap. I bet he won't.

 

Aug. 16th.

After turning 5 shades of red and talking with Schaefer to mellow out, I thought it time to pass the knowledge.

A project that was supposed to be on the trail for Memorial Day is going to barely make Labor Day.

Anyone have shop or floor space in August so I can mount my winch and new rear links for the Jambo?

And on top of this, my metric tools are with the rig so I can't install the lift I have for my bro's 97!

 

I feel for you man...Are they still having issues or what?

 

Slow parts at the last minute.

Check your PM's.

 

 

Thursday.

Steve, I will send some yard info.

Mike, I will try to call or e-mail this evening.

 

So your going to pick it up soon?

 

I am getting it Thursday.

Thanks Jake, Doug and Darcie for the offers on space. I will thankfully be installing my new links and winch in the comfort of my own garage.

 

Woo Hoo

 

 

At 3:30 a.m. Central time Thursday morning, and against my better judgment, I left my house headed for the airport and a 1100 mile flight.

Now, at 1:30 a.m. Central time on Saturday morning, as in just less than 48 hours later, I am back at my house with my truck having covered another 1100 miles, most of which started at 9:30 today and kept going thanks to 8 Red Bulls, 2 Lameocinos, 3 qts. of ATF and some lound country music.

More thoughts after my brain gets out of warp drive and I can take a look underneath again.

 

Thanks for keeping us informed. Tell us more when you are concious.

I'm glad you got it back.
