Really? Is this a logged timing related detonation, or a F-in Rod knock?!?!

My bud who is a ME just got laid off-sent him the info.

Its just A-Fucking-Mazing. I don't know how you'd top that. http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f11/96-jeep-cherokee-need-opinions-1149721/ Copy and Paste- Originally Posted by naggingwife So, my boyfriend bought a '96 Cherokee (XJ) SE, for way too much, like around $3,000. It broke down and he has put another $2,500 in it and totally rebuilt the engine and did a lot of after market work on it. He has and will do all the labor himself, he refuses to pay for labor. Now, he finds out that the motor needs to be taken back out and fixed again and is looking at another $700. I said he should just sell it and wipe his hands clean, he says he won't make enough. Firstly, what is your guys' opinion on what he should do? Secondly, how much do you think he could make parting it versus just the whole car as is? Thanks for your guys' opinions! First reply...lol Quote: Originally Posted by wgirvine You want my opinion? Ok… Shut the hell up. You’re not his wife. You’re not paying for the repairs. It’s absolutely none of your business what he does with his Jeep or his money. I know your type well… first it’s “Sell the Jeep because it’s costing too much money.” Then it’s “No, you can’t go spend the weekend with your buddies because I need you to take me shopping.” Then it’s “Oh gee, honey… I’m pregnant. Gosh, I have no idea how that happened.” You’re a DreamKiller. You kill a guy’s dreams, take away his future, tie him down with a fat mortgage and too many babies, and turn him into just another miserable guy wondering, “How the hell did I get here?” Do you really want to help him? Here’s what you do… go to your local library (it’s a big building with books inside) and check out a couple of books on rebuilding engines. Read them, over and over, until YOU understand what needs to be done. Then help him get that engine out and rebuild it. Tie your hair back in a ponytail, put on some old jeans and get your hands dirty. Hand him wrenches, hold the light, pull the wire connectors apart, help him get the hood off… help him with anything he needs. When he gets tired, run inside and make him a hot lunch or dinner. Fix him coffee, hot chocolate, whatever he wants. (But NO beer. Beer is for when the job is done.) Then when the day is over and you’re both exhausted from working on the engine, push him into a hot shower and jump in with him. Scrub his back, wash his hair, rinse him off, and dry him with fluffy towels still hot from the dryer. Then push him into bed and screw his ears off. Then get up the next day and do it all over again. Make him realize that rebuilding an engine is a slow and methodical process. Make him realize that every step should be regarded as surgery; every step must be perfect… perfect torque, perfect fit, perfectly clean. If you run into a step that you just can’t figure out, ask for help from someone who knows what he’s doing. Are you cute? Put on a low-cut top, show some cleavage and go (by yourself) to the local Jeep shop, and explain to the guys that you are helping your boyfriend to rebuild his engine and neither of you can figure out this one little step, and do they have any advice… Think it won’t work? Think again. We guys love to help cute girls, even if they have a boyfriend. (Hey, maybe you’ve got a sister, or girlfriend…) But absolutely DO NOT whine or complain. Do not say a single negative thing. Not a single “Oooooo, I broke a nail.” If you break a nail, or cut your finger, or bang a knuckle, you just shut up and DEAL WITH IT. You should be a hopelessly optomistic, never-say-die cheerleader, encouraging him every step of the way. That’s my opinion.

If it helps the sale-I have some 13x8 4x100 Axis wheels Id off to make this a package deal for someone- Ultimate Honda drag package would be had.

No offense- but Nothing on your current 'whips' list needs any such set up.

I'll take a stock Seven bolt and make fuckin majic. Send er- my way

I'd freak if I saw tire smoke from MY COCK SUCKING TIRES RUBBING MY FENDERS!!

Yeah, thats worst case scenario.

Its bad timing only. No one is "looking" for a FWD Civic when there is 12 inches of snow outside, even though it gets though great with the snow tires. But there are a few people who want to pick it up "pending tax return money", so we will see. Everyone has a story, I just want to hear the one that ends with cash in hand. But yes, the Equinox, and Avalanche are 2 of the worst car ever, period. Way to go GM

Anthony on motor, or on the bottle?

PM me what you NEED for that trans, picked up

Just spoke to someone that was there, he said it was not even within the California Border. Laws are Much more lax for the shit in NV and NM. And from my travels out there, you can never be "out int he middle of nowhere" like you can out there, in Ohio. No way, no how.

Agreed-you can actually see it bouncing during a pull rubbing tire in the video.:gtfo:

Bump for winter Warrior Status. Its rockin Gislaved Nordfrosts on 15inch Steelies, and was laughing at 8 inched of fresh heavy snow today. Will come with the car is purchased at full price.

Call me. Depending on offset, I may have 8 wheels for you. all are "FWD" offset. All have tires though. What is acceptable weight with tire?

Wiener face. I need this shit! PM me if you dont take the gauges

I dont know if this helps- But- Was HARD on the car on the way to the office. Pulls hard all the way to 8500rpm. Its a ton of run to flog. VTEC engages normal, trans shifts like silk at redline in every gear. 4krpm @72mph in 5th if that helps with what trans is int he car, but its geared TIGHT!

Hey Bud. Yep, motor is still here! Good to see you on. PM me your email and I will shoot you some pics of your old whip. Oh, and PM to the OP
