ToledoPhil

nope I am in the market for a lift. Haven't decided if I want to piece it together of by a kit.

How high?

I did a 3"

I grabbed a 3" coil and leaf pins from JeeperzCreeperz in Southfield MI

Then I used S 10 leafs. Lots of mini truckers around Toledo.

I still need to lengthen the rear brakeline

I also dropped teh transfer case 1" because I got some driveline vibes (still do )

I also welded some extensions on my swaybar links. Eventually Ill get some discos

I probably spent $250 on parts after buying U bolts and other crap

look under the project updates part of the board. i can't like you to it because i'm on my phone. thread title should say project update 8/23 or something like that.

Holy. Fucking. Crap.

Welcome Phil I'm on Jeepforum as well.

another masochist. Have an extra 00-01 4.0 laying around?

@Buckeye: Put that car up FS on Torinocobra http://www.torinocobra.com/forum/

Everyone is dogdick broke on there but you never know...

hey, just like your wife her car recovered from cancer too.

 

sorry to hear of your ford problem. i think they have meetings for that.

pics of 69 camaro?

The Jeepforum.com guys debate this all the time.

Do a search on there or start here for a few opinions/links

http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f8/do-your-self-bedliner-57630/

Herculiner seems to be a favorite.

These guys use it on their rocker panels and inside the CJ tubs. It gets abused pretty bad on a Jeep. I'd trust their opinions

FWIW I did my rear bumper on my XJ with a rustoleum rattlecan bedliner and its held up nicely to daily abuse

I'm willing to bet everyone on here's rides spend less time on jackstands than mine.

I tend to break cars just through commuting and terrible luck.

Anyway, I suppose I should get outta here before it looks like a

multi page chick-intro and join the fray to see what's up on here.

Thanks for the welcome.

do you know a guy named Clint? Last name Eastwood i think? He had a car like yours, but ended up getting all shot up and giving it to some zipper head in his will though.

That guy had a Gran Torino.

I'm a pre-1972 guy. Not really into that "newfangled" stuff

Welcome! Nice 240

This.

I was gonna neg rep you for the title, but you sir have some nice rides and I just can't.

riciest thing I could think of.

Thanks for the welcome. I hope to hit up a meet or

something before we're all buried in snow

Just kidding.

I'm Phil from Toledo.

I work as a graphic designer.

I'm an oldguy 43. I am also a mod on Toledo Tuners and (until recently)

admin on TorinoCobra.com. (site changed hands so I stepped aside for the new guy).

My point: No drama or trolling from me.

I decided to join up because a couple of my friends moved down there and my brother lives there as well.

I plan on visiting a lot more and I want to check out the scene and hopefully network myself a new job and source of car parts.

On to the car shit:

I'm a Ford guy but this is my current DD,

I sold my 2.3/5speed turbo mustang for this shitpile.

It started knocking last week so I'm pretty pissed.

Plans: new 4.0 swap, SYE, recovery points,

take it wheeling and dent the fucker all up.

Wife's DD

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l148/supercobrajet/Cherokee/100_5565.jpg

This is the fun-car I am building for my wife.

A 1968 Ford Fairlane 500. 302/C4 auto/8" rear. Its our cruiser.

My wife is recovering from breast cancer bullshit so it seemed fitting to build her a car.

I picked this up for $2000 of a local towtruck driver/repo guy I know.
