Let the smart ass remarks about my ‘work bench’ commence.

Thats almost as good as my welding bench. Two Jerry cans and a 2'x4' scrap piece of plywood covered in bricks to keep the plywood from catching fire.

I was thinking that I could cut it into little tiny pieces in which case there would be no need for a lift.

LOL

And where would the temporary plasma cutter home be? Outside next to the trash can in the rain?

haha, hey man, at least my jackstands have stickers on them, thus making them cool ok? don't worry dude, the overhang of the roof will most likely protect the cutter from most of the direct rain...time for some more

 

[jobunn]

time for some more

So you are the one who bought it all.

Gladly, as long as it gets fixed the same day and I have a whole lotta fun doin it.

I figure it'll rattle itself into pieces within a year anyway.

The funny part is that the back yard is flat but inaccessible from the front due to 2 non running cars blocking the access. I'm gonna flatten out a part of the front area once it stops raining, shouldn't be too big of deal with a rototiller and a shovel. Meanwhile there is a trunk sitting in the garage that needs a new clutch that isn't mine and I'm not getting paid to fix it so my motivation is zilch but it still needs to get done and I said I would do it.

Got your PM. I’ll touch base with you sometime next week.

Sell the cars and put in that clutch = more room

A cluth ain't that bad, a few hours and your done, I did one in my Ranger (when I had It)

It's kinda a funny but I miss all that crap. When I lived at home I'd be work'n on the truck every weekend, not because it needed, but be cause I love to tinker with it. Now I have no where to tinker unless I go to my In-laws (every 2 weeks for laudry). I'm dieing to get a house so I can have a garage again. But thats still a few years off.

Thats why I'm always ask'n if you need help...I'm going insane

Funny... this is also a Ranger, 91 3.0 style. I just remember doing the clutch on Josh S.s truck and that was comparable to a root canal... probably would've been better if we had air tools... and didn't have to remove the exhuast, and had the right parts... and it wasn't raining... and the clutch bled the first time last but not least we were hours from canceling the rebel 4x4 03JT run.

Did mine on '96 2.3. No air all hand tools, never even jacked the truck up. (4in. lift and 31's helped ) Never touched exsaust and never touched the fluid part of the clutch. Did it in a few hours. Once again if you need my....nevermind I think you get it.

I'm still in
It'd be better for me (but not necesary) if we moved it to the 20th. How 'bout everyone else?

As for where, I'd like to do Last Chance with you all, as long as everyone who's coming doesn't mind driving that far. Its about 90 mi from the 5/14 interchange. With the latest storm the snow level dropped, so Miller is out. And then we have Rowher

I'm glad you were entertained. Your tranny jack is still sitting behind the Ranger that I haven't laid a finger on; for some reason after downing a 6 pack the thought of you with my plasma cutter isn't that bad.

It's cool wit Last chance sounds good. As long as we wheel

 

[Brother_of_Jefe]

So . . . . Last Chance Canyon on the 20th?

Let's Go!!!!

 

[jobunn]

I should be able to swing the 20th. Last Chance sounds good. I've never ran any of those trails. And it would be a nice break from the "same old same old Rowher."

 

[Mike 92 XLT]

I'm in. Think the Jeep can do it stock with 225/75/15 ATs?
