Let's mount up and break those parts out of jail. Shouldn't take more than twenty minutes if properly planned :twisted:

tommudd · **Posted:** Thu Sep 10, 2015 6:24 pm

Going to have to do something
Didn't have the bucks for a new engine
finally found this one for a good price
NOW don't have the money to go buy another one
Landlord sent me another nice letter concerning working on vehicles here :banghead:

She drove by I guess and we were rotating the tires on my Stepfathers :dizzy:

Can't wait to move out of here, love the house and area but.....................

For the first 10 years it was fun owning the KJ
Meet and Greets,

time to buy something else I guess

Ted15 · **Posted:** Sat Sep 12, 2015 9:30 am

tommudd · **Posted:** Sun Sep 13, 2015 7:40 pm

3800 maybe

Ted15 · **Posted:** Sun Sep 13, 2015 11:31 pm

2 or 4 door?

tommudd · **Posted:** Wed Sep 16, 2015 8:46 am

Actually looking for something older
Stopped yesterday to look at one of my old cars I had back in the 80s
66 Buick Riviera, black on black, 430 cu in (7.0 L) displacement, 360 horsepower, 475 lb·ft of torque
Had it three years back then, painted it and did some other things then sold it to the current owner
He did a frame off about 5 years ago, rebuilt motor trans etc, new interior, still looks real good
He's ready to sell but at 9 times what I sold it to him for :roll:

But its almost too nice for a daily driver.

ALMOST!??

Sounds like a show car

tommudd · **Posted:** Wed Sep 16, 2015 5:05 pm

Nothing is too nice to drive
Have done a couple of full blown show cars then thought this is crazy to have them sitting around just for shows so started driving them
Second one I thought hard and long about just making a good driver but went crazy made it too nice, won some awards and then back to the why is this one sitting here :banghead:

Well you said you didn't want silver - it's not silver :goink:

tommudd · **Posted:** Thu Sep 17, 2015 11:55 am

Nope not SILVER :goink:

Just did the old jack under the transmission cross member trick to see what 2 inches of lift will look like.
Going cheap on this one at first ( if I buy it) :twisted:

New sensatrac replacement fronts with .500 clevis and 3/8 inch top plates ( happen to still have a spare set)
rear new springs/ Bilsteins and upper isos
255-70 tires on the Moabs and done
Then when I get the 05 someday will decide which one to build, which one to keep at a lower height

tommudd · **Posted:** Thu Sep 17, 2015 3:51 pm

OK Larry

Now I will have an 2003, 2004, 2005 in the family
PLUS they all run, well two really, one with a just a slight miss

tommudd · **Posted:** Mon Sep 21, 2015 8:22 am

OK got a green 03 sitting here, now to sell parts from the black 2004 to help pay for it and get a new suspension under it
Small lift for now, ( 2-2.25 ) maybe 255-70s, tint the windows and run it
After my wife returns and see what she is going to want then may build Mr. Green or who knows

Not anything you'd want right now I doubt
Things I may sell is front and rear bumpers
Lift still debating, rack/LED light bar the same
Skids will more than likely be installed on green

Just still up in the air yet :banghead:

or sell it all as is, ?????But no one wants a fully built Jeep with a blown engine :banghead:

or at least pay what I think the parts/ body is worth ya know

MoD · **Joined:** Sat Mar 17, 2012 12:53 am **Posts:** 1343

Yeah sadly I know what you mean, I would be interested in your rear bumper and at least the front part of your suspension if you go that way.

tommudd · **Posted:** Tue Sep 29, 2015 9:05 am

een gone 3 days from home
no cell, get home MagicJack not working , still no cell yet
really been nice and quiet with no bill collectors calling
So far 03 Green has received the following ( in a week )
Painted flares and bumpers- 10 bucks
Installed a CD / AM-FM in place of the cassette it had stock - had it
Installed left UCA - had it
Installed factory fogs- had them
Tinted the windows with one of those pre cut kits - had it laying in the garage
Repaired right rear door latch, came apart
New plugs, oil change, both diffs and transfer case - had everything
Replaced lug nuts - had them
New springs and shocks sitting waiting to be installed, ( very soon) will have less than 80 bucks in the 4 springs/4 shocks and parts to make it a tad bit higher
So with grand total spent out of pocket so far of 90 bucks we're doing pretty good
Now for slightly larger tires for winter
Also need wiring for fog lamps, have 4 new sets of housings but no wiring
Also found 6 pair of 02-04 turn signals, where did I get them all
