OK.... I'll bite.:confused:

[FSJ Guy]

It looked pretty good on the outside. What was wrong on the inside?

[fulsizjeep]

I think it is therapeutic - - - in a sort of sick way. ;)

[RTFM]

I'm lost also.... I don't get the kitten tie in.... :confused:

[eromasik]

Not to highjack the thread, however would you sell me the rollbar? Crying on the inside about the kitten...I mean truck...:rolleyes:

[salbt]

Hint, Hint

[janie]

Chris,

If your trying to make this girl cry your off to a good start.:) Watchya doing to the Honcho?

[Ristow]

heheheheheheh.....they don't get the kitten part......

[Mars]

whenever you scrap a FSJ god kills a kitten. think of the kittens.. :p

Edit: Just realized something, There's another one going to parts that's NICER than the one I have... *sigh*

[JeepBountyHunter]

Man...that looked nice I don't get it...

But to each their own.

[krek]

whenever you scrap a FSJ god kills a kitten

Usually with an air cleaner...

It didn't deserve it! It didn't deserve it! It didn't deserve it! :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :D

[eromasik]

WOW, now I'm really crying two in one day, and a red and white one, my favorite color scheme. Positng pics like those should be right up there with profanity on the site.:D

[Chris P.]

Mwahahaha!:sawzall:

Unfortunately it had terminal cancer. The pics hide how bad it really was. There were several holes in the frame, bed is trashed, cab corners, rockers and floor are swiss cheese.

The rollbar, brushguard, and interior have been transferred to my other Honcho. The rest will probably be up for grabs.

[Dr.E]

Is that like:"Every time a bell rings...an angle gets it's wings"?:p
Why would god kill a kitten? The way I heard it... You will get VD! :eek:

[COLOFIREMAN]

But they're soooooo cute....http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd218/COLOJEEPGUY2K/Emotions/windycat.gif http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd218/COLOJEEPGUY2K/Emotions/windycat.gif http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd218/COLOJEEPGUY2K/Emotions/windycat.gif http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd218/COLOJEEPGUY2K/Emotions/windycat.gif http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd218/COLOJEEPGUY2K/Emotions/windycat.gif

:p :D

[DerekTJeep]

Don't feel bad. No one would want to do a turbo engine swap on a frame that looks like a swiss cheese. Very dangerous!!

The roll bar will sell for a very high dollar.

Only when the better parts goes to help with the Therapy...I mean FSJ Project of fellow members. wink..wink

[rustywagoneers_com]

OK.... I'll bite.:confused:

It's beyond stupid.

[Gurinski]

Funny how in 15-20 yrs vehicles like this will be considered good candidates for rebuilds. Maybe we should just keep them stored and wait for the prices to skyrocket.

[710 Burner]

Its something about the brow....causes water to be channeled into the cab. :thumbsup:

[Tad]

Shoot, that thing ain't dead yet.

Aww come on it's funny!

[CJ the noisemaker]

Ah, that joke is sort of universal.

"Every time you (insert action here), God kills a (insert thing here).
So please, think of the (insert thing here)."

I also like the Honcho paint scheme. :D

[Gambler68]

Every time Derek posts another stupid turbocharger comment, G*d kills a kitten. :cool: :p

[chr1s]

bwhahahaaahaha

Hey, we're helping control the pet population! :D

YIKES :eek:

Is this what you do to your vehicles when they make you mad? Maybe if I did that kind of thing my jeep would behave itself... Out of FEAR. LOL

Well if you have more than one, an example can be made... bwahaha

[Chris P.]

Thats funny you mention that. My other Honcho has been sitting right next to it during the teardown. Ever since I broke out the sawzall and cutting torch its been running better than ever!

[rustywagoneers_com]

Aww come on it's funny!

No. Not really. There aren't many of these left. Too many mouth breathers buy them just to stick the axles under a CJ/YJ/Nissan/Scout. They scrap the rest (usually better than what I drive) with no regard to the vehicle itself.

It really bothers the crap out of me.

Well it is thier property, and they can do what they want to with them or to them despite how much you or I may disagree about it. Look at it this way. Yours just got a little more rare. And yeah it irks me to see nicer ones being junked than the one I own.. gah!
But the kitten thing to me is funny.

It really bothers the crap out of me. You are correct Dave, it bothers me too. I make light of it because it makes me feel a little better about the dozens of hours I put into that last rig I killed.
I would not have killed any of the rigs I have if they had been worth saving.
J2000 in the blue can had severe frame rot and a trashed bed. I made sure that as best I could any thing worth using went to FSJ reconstruction someplace.
I even saved the posts off the frame, 'cause someday one of us will need one.

[Gambler68]

If sawzall blades were free, my backyard would be clean.

I bought the truck with intentions of putting it on the road, but after a closer inspection it would have needed a frame swap or at least extensive frame repair, tranny rebuild, cab mount repair, etc before I would even think of putting it on the road. The bed had sat full of leaves for a while which rusted out the floor and inner walls. It had also taken a hit on the drivers front fender, and would have needed half of the front clip replaced. By the time all this was done it would literally have been a different truck.

Perhaps post a few pics of the rot to satisfy our morbid curiosity.:D

Personally, from what little I've seen on this site and at the 'yards, usually this kind of work is more mercy killing than murder. But at least organ donation continues...

[crazyspoons]

Hey, this is pretty insane. Our cat just had kittens this morning at 4:00 AM. Just about 20 minutes ago, we found one of the six kittens dead! No joke. You killed my kitten!!

[Rudys78J10]

That's a pretty rough way to go, gettin your front end hacked off!

But on a related note, I do need some front/side turns/markers if they are going on the auction block!

Just wish those kittens weren't so freakin quick. tough to swerve like that.

and real dead kitten takes it up a notch...

Save the FSJ's.

[fulsizjeep]

All I can say is YOU can't save them all. Krista and Flint agreed to keep it at 6 and it is 7. One is scrappin. Bent up frame & front cross member with buggar welded goober repair, 1/2 ton steering box junkyard fix and floor rot on driver side. I have resolved to pulling the bed, dang it. Wiring will live on in our 77 J20. Another one is for sale. <hint> Yeah, help me out and buy the camper special. :thumbsup:

OK;

Uncle. You win. That frame is JUNK.

The cab - I never keep the rockers anyway so THAT doesn't kill the cab - but I am inclined to believe that the cab had greater problems than just the rockers.

I hereby release any grudge I may have held based on the mistaken notion that this frame was savable. (as if my opinion mattered ALL that much...)

[DerekTJeep]

See!! I knew that a bad frame would be a very dangerous platform for doing a turbo engine swap. I hope you do scrap the frame :)

[CJ the noisemaker]

Darn it Derek! That's two for you!
:D

[Subic Jeep]

Those restoring their FSJ are well rewarded!:thumbsup:
