OK, first... NO PIX yet. You just have to wait. :p I just bought a 77 401/t400/QT J20 w/lift, oversize wheels and tires with camper shell right here in town. We have been watching this truck for 6 years. I am tellin ya, 401's are freakin rare around here. :cool: This one is for our anniversary of 6 years in April, a gift to Krista for $1500. He paid $6500 for it in the next town, Cortez, in 2001. It won't start and he cain't figger it out, so it is outa there. He wanted $2000. We are going ballistic with 401s people. Try to stop us. http://frontier.net/~mystkblu/smilies/yellowsmilewinkgrin.gif

OH, and it is white. Just like the Jeepstress like 'em.

:worthless:
You tell him janie Flint you are the only person I know that can go out to get a loaf of bread and come back with not only another FSJ but one with a 401!!!

[fulsizjeep]

Thanks y'all. I had to have 3 whole beers to get over the trauma... http://frontier.net/~mystkblu/smilies/clap.gif

So, Krista found out just before y'all did. Oh yeah... Here are my directions. I must rid this place of 3 FSJs before I bring it or the Camper Special home. Anybody got a week to lend me?

[bowtieman55]

YOU GUYS SUCK SO BAD!!!

YET I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU:D :thumbsup:

My impression of Flint or Krista
..."oh yeah, that's nothing new; we've got tons of 401s...":rolleyes:

http://frontier.net/%7Emystkblu/smilies/whipping.gif Well could be!! What you have to do?

[fulsizjeep]

Charlie! I will be in Silver City next week. Whats going on Saturday after next?

lessee... restack stuff stored in basement. Remove spare parts from 3 FSJs and part them down to skeletens, store parts in basement and load remains on a trailer and haul em off to the scrap yard.

We have a Buick 350 here cheap folks. We are keeping 2 sets of 3.54 gears QT type D44 Waggy axels that need to be pulled. We want the D20 off the 69 and some dash parts, otherwise that will go. There will be some trim and widgets available from a 69 Wag, 76 Cerokee and 75 Wag Custom (which is narrowed to a shell right now). I guess the first step is some decent inevntory of parts to y'all. ;)

[bigun]

Right now NOTHING is going on sincethey laid me off before christmas. You want I should see what Bart is doing?

[fulsizjeep]

If I can get 2 front tires and an alternator changed by Sunday, I will be down in my GW. Mantra: It will be done.

I'll be running my sister to El Paso that Saturday morning to catch her plane and head up I25 after that. Could take in a visit or maybe a toolie off road on the way home. :cool:

[bigun]

I beleive Krista has my numbers if she doesn't let me know and I'll email to you. You going to need a cutting torch for your great parting.

[Gambler68]

This one is for our anniversary of 6 years in April, a gift to Krista
*cough* hah..woulda been easier to sleep on the couch with the puppy for a few nights! :banghead:

I'll come up with the sawzall, we can make quick work of the 75 with that.
Butum...wasn't she supposed to pull the interior on that? hmmmm? :D

[rstep]

Flint you suck 401 times...

LOL! How often can you buy an anniversary present for your spouse and be able to enjoy it yourself?! ;) I know what he's up to. I think it's cute!

We've got most of the interior pulled out of the 75. We need to get the dash and some other stuff but it's pretty much ready to scrap.

[Rogue]

so how many is that now?

i was up to four but i thrashed one on the dyno so now i only have three :(

:drivin:

[Jeepstress]

so how many is that now?:drivin:

Lessee...... My two wags, my new j-truck, Flint's GW (that 401 came out of my old Cherk), and the 401 from the 75 sitting in the basement that is going to Ryan.

So, that would be......1....2...3....4....5. Yup, five 401s.

neenerneenerneener :p

[AMX factor]

Hehe I just told your Flint I have 7 stashed! Granted I only have one body to run one in. So I need to come your way and get another FSJ.

Hurry while the passes are clear! :thumbsup:

[goldhammer]

See, he is going to scarf up every 401 within a thousand miles, hoard 'em and drive the price higher than the 14er's they be in...:D :D :D

He prob pulled the dizzy rotor out 3 years ago and still packing it in his pocket..:rolleyes:

yeah..nothing like taking a $4500 on a truck because you can't read a service manual. Gah. :confused:

Aren't there some kind of federal monopoly laws in play here that apply even to Coloradnia? :p

[joe]

Good to know but I'd still keep my eye on that Flint and Krista bunch of hooligans. I think they're trying to take over the world...well at least our little FSJ world anyway :D

[fulsizjeep]

We ain't takin over nuttin... Just scrambling for our piece of FSJ heaven on earth. :cool:

So, who did it? Nobody. Why? I dunno. :D

[joe]

We ain't takin over nuttin... Just scrambling for our piece of FSJ heaven on earth. :cool: . :D
Come'on fess up Flint...you went to the "The Donald" Trump (you know the no clue rich guy that really can afford better hair) seminar didn't cha? And then ya tweaked it to FSJ's instead of real estate eh?
We're watching you two! ;) :p

[AMX factor]

They are not hoarding...I am.:D
They are recycling. They have enough FSJ's they can't possibly drive them all so they slowly rust away. Why do you think the ground is red down there!

[Jeepstress]

LOL! We drive everything but the parts rigs regularly! And things don't rust here in the high desert. It'd take 100s of years for an FSJ to rust to death. Of course the electrical system would be eaten by pack rats and the vacuum hose eaten by marmots within minutes of parking it, but it sure wouldn't rust! ;)

[bigun]

Flint talked to craig we don't know what kinda wheeling we can show you (snow and all that sort of stuff you know), but your welcome to come over we'll show you the parts yard and maybe drop a couple of quadracraps in the back of the waggy when you ain't looking, and if you need a place to crash for the night I already warned mom.

[Jeepstress]

........maybe drop a couple of quadracraps in the back of the waggy when you ain't looking, .......

Go ahead and do that Charlie! This spring I'm taking all the crappy QTs busting them in half and putting them around the flower beds. They'll make great planters for my pansies and poppies. :D And since they reek of QT fluid it'll keep the chickens and cats out of my flowers this year! :thumbsup:

[bigun]

Better watch out he might bring home a lot moree once he sees Craigs used automobile supply! I'll email you the phone numbers just to make sure you have them.

[oldmanb777]

Flint, I have a 401 in my garage tonight, too. To cold outside to let it sit out. it has a bright red 2 door body around it. Wide trac axles, and no Quadra-junk! :-):thumbsup:

[Jeepstress]

Flint, I have a 401 in my garage tonight, too. To cold outside to let it sit out. :-):thumbsup:

Wuss! :p You keep it in the garage and it'll get fat and lazy! 401s are like range ponies. They keep thier tails to the wind and forage stuff goats wouldn't eat. Lock 'em in a stall and they wither and die. My 401s start up on the first turn no matter the temp and being stabled ouside. My 76 can be grumbly with her manual choke, but my 77 never ever not started, even in sub zero weather. :thumbsup:

[oldmanb777]

Flint, you have seen it. Got it from one of the group over here. Still gota finish the paperwork, oh and put a tie rod end in it, and.......WEll it's a Jeep thing, we all understand! I couldn't sleep, so warmed up the garage, and.....

[fulsizjeep]

...and ? :D Woohoo! :thumbsup:

[Casey]

I think Janie said it best...:)

[fulsizjeep]

Well kids, I got to see the J20 yesterday before I hit the road for Silver City. I am convinced we are doing the right thing now. :thumbsup: Looks like a 4" lift on it. Yippee! It was only 8 degrees at 8:30, so I was quick about it and left a deposit check to seal the deal. I sent a pic to Krista this morning and hopefully, she will share it with you if y'all are good. :D

[bigun]

Glad to hear you made down OK!

So you going to bring it to Ouray this year? Oh look it even has a step on it so you can get in!!

[fulsizjeep]

Glad to hear you made down OK!

Thanks Charlie! Yes, it was snow and ice to Gallup where it turned to melting snow and ice and the nastiest looking special affects on Wally's body.... Magnesium Chloride is harsh stuff. It was still hanging on the rig until afternoon here and was in 4WD all the way to Gallup. Got him rinsed at the local car wash this evening before sunset.

This is on 602 headed for the Zuni Reservation.

Huh?!! :confused:If you wrote that you are ignoring me that must mean that you are not ingnoring me any more.:confused: Other wise you wouldn't have said anything, of course then I wouldn't have known you were ignoring me.:confused: So are you ignoring me or just pretending too? :huh::huh:

Hahahahahaa ha ha. Ha. You're asking for a quick kick in the shins when I see you next, Sweet Heart. :bluelaugh:

Most of my QTs work fine. Its just that none are installed in a **** jeep. :grumble:

Why aren't they installed? You need to get Samson on site so he can show all the rest what a real transfer case is! :D I don't see Sampson in your sig anymore... what happened?

[Jeepstress]

Current Jeep Status: NOT RUNNING

Talk to the wrench, baby..... talk to the wrench.

I have sooooo many FSJs that they don't all fit in my sig. :p I'll add Sampson back in once he gets to CO. Actually, since I have the white j truck now, Sampson will be Flint's truck.

[J10Mike]

Flint, the wheels on the J20 look very similar to what I have. Here's a pic of one of my wheels. Any idea who the manufacturer is?

heh..oh trust me, Ryan has something to drive. Well..will have it this weekend. :D


and that dang 401 is going to the machine shop shortly. Flint and I (well mostly Flint) finished tearing it down yesterday. It was varnished up something fierce, but the block looks good. Getting dipped, heads angled and valves done up, then slapping that piggy back together. No more 401 jokes :P

[fulsizjeep]

heehee, I ain't counting Ryan's Quadracraps... He has 3 or 4 himself... :p

[bigun]

I think we have one more down here
