Ha, Just kiddin folks. Well long story short some may remember me here from the olden times hahahah.. here the compressed version. Been driving a 93 ZJ (grand chero, first year) as a daily. 3 years ago I got it for 800 bucks, put in a 70k motor for 700 bucks and welded in most of the floor of new steel and replaced "everything" suspension links,springs,bushings blah blah. Rebuilt the np242 (which i like for this daily/winter driver) but the #%@& 42re trans finally died last fall. Ive been wanting to put a ax15 in it so its sitting now while ive been driving this free 91 wrangler i have. I have about 200ish into it and 6 months later the front hubs are toast (after a no doubt long life). So here I am all these years later (getting to the point) on the IFSJA saying that I am once again reverting to the good ole 79 wagoneer. I drove to work the other morning with no working alternator/wipers/defrost/dashlights/barely headlights/reving to stay running at a stop .... ... ect.. hahhhah.. a few years back my sis was driving it, and i put close 1500 into it in all mech stuff.. the body is so-so (work in progress), I had rewired all the main power/charge stuff and deleted the ampmeter. so it still needed a new batt and a new alt.. well they never did it and ended up giving me back the jeep. So I just got a new powermaster alternator and a volt gauge, gonna clean out the carb tommorow and see if I can get her back to awesome status. So the point of the post is, after all this time......... I rely on an old wagoneer to save my butt to get to work.. thank god my bro in law had to go travel for work for a few days and im driving his truck hhehe. I took tommorow off (sat) so I can have both days this weekend to make it good (including mouse pee/poo smell and rip out the headliner{mouse universe})
Here is the comic relief part of it .
Tuesday morning, (would be march 15, 2016 {ides of march}) I drive that thing on a death run about 15 miles thru the country in a fog/rain. I pull in, my bro in law opens his window of his truck and says. "Vintage!" and I replied. F! . hahahaa then a co-worker pulls in and parks, gets out and says. "what in the H is that?" hahha I breifly explained and him and a few others said they had never even heard of such a thing.. So at least a bad experience turned into a funny moment (thank god, stress reliever hahah). So, here I am again. Maybe there are a few old time ancient relics from yesteryear that remember the old times when I frequented the forum heheh.. Hi folks!
