There's a free liberty CRD on Craigslist at the moment, as well as one listed for $500... I think they may be one and the same, given that the description I got when I enquired about the free one, matches the photos in the $500 listing.
JieselDeep,
It was really good to meet you and spend the day ravaging that 2006 Liberty CRD. You got a trailer full of stuff, most of which you'll take to metal recycling. I hope you got enough to make it worthwhile.
I got the engine / trans / transfer case, and a few more parts my CRD was asking for. Thanks for sharing the heater fan control panel, that will make the insides much nicer.
The following Monday I went back to Paauilo and met a tow truck driver. The day was successful but everything went wrong. We had a good time straightening out each issue:
1) Hooking up the the tow truck should have taken 15 to 20 minutes -- it took an hour.
2) Going up the concrete private drive to the main county road, he dropped one set off wheels of the edge of the concrete and high-centered his tow dolly under the rear end. That took another half hour to rectify.
3) My fault: I did not expect a 40-minute drive from Paauilo to Hilo Scrap Metal. Oh well.
4) I was worrying about a $2/pound bill. Yikes! The hulk weighed 1.4 tons and the bill was only $133. What a relief! Turns out it was $2/100 lbs. We could have left the doors on and would not have suffered very much.
5) Attempted to pay the tow driver but my CC would not go though. Hmmm.
6) Had to leave some collateral at the Scrap Metal yard while I went to get cash, so I left my personal phone. Went to a nearby Credit Union (not mine) and took a non-member cash advance. I needed by PIN which was in my phone left as collateral. Made a trip there and back and read the awaiting text's. One was from my CU asking about credit Fraud about the tow driver attempted payment.
7) Responded to the CU text and a few minutes later the CC went through without further problems.
<--Hmmm. Characters "[eight]-[close parentheses]" makes a smiley face with sunglasses. Got the cash from the local CU and paid the Scrap Metal yard.
The remainder of the day was uneventful.
Dean.
