thanks I reckon
I f***ing hate the purple though.
one day when I get the time and money(or after enough trail abuse) I'll put her back to the original burnt orange, I have even considered putting the golden eagle stickers and stripes back on it. Why do people paint their s**t these wierd colors then offer me a deal I can't refuse, my previous DD is a 65 falcon and it's friggin bright yellow. (barf) Try sneaking around town in them.
In case you care future mods will be a full cage, oba, rebulid or replace the front 30 and lock it of course, and right after Christmas a new set of shoes, either tsl's or new KM's.

At least the bunch of f***ers I work with just call it the Grape Ape, I don't necesarily like it but it's better than "Barney".

So if you ever get up this way to visit yer kinfolks bring your s**t and let's hit bumpus cove.

Silverman Company
48 Swananoa River Rd. Asheville

It's a small family owned( ~12 employees) metal fab shop, we mostly do structural and architectual fab. Mostly crap like beams and columns for buildings. Gates handrails ( I sort of run this dept) and any other metal fab people bring us, from stretching a golf cart to truck beds, ladder racks, window guards. if it's metal we'll do it. (or lose money trying) We also sell drainage products too, culvert, poly pipe, concrete stuff (manholes and the like) silt fence, pine staw, landscape fabric, etceterar.Kind of a wierd mix, huh?
 
this is better,
one day soon
and after that
a pair of 60's and lots of cutting

Thank's , you'd never tell it by looking, but it has taken alot (alright, a friggin s***load) of work to get it were it's at now.
I bought it for one of those can't pass up deals, from a local preacher who was in way over his head.

1st- fix rear pinion angle (can you say it rolled like a ratchet) on the orginal corp 20 axle which p.o. had spent one G note to rebuild (<---foolishness) including brand new axle shafts and hubs (<----- yes 2 pc extreme foolishness)

2nd- tear out new auburn posi carrier because thrust block needed for the 2 pc axle setup was missing. (btw it had 0 miles since rebuild, makes me wonder when a pro powertrain shop can let that slide):shaking:

3rd-original t150 making some bad bearing noise, no biggie right? just swap it out with the extra t150 that came with the jeep, but wait, there's more. read on

4th cut the crossmember/skidplate from the frame since some... shall we say, mentally challenged individual welded it to the frame. And they made up for weld quality with weld quantity. (<---- alright, we've now far surpassed any amount of foolishness, and moved to the realm where physical threats may be necessary, if the person's responsable for this are spotted anywhere near a vehicle in need of any repair they should be severely beaten about the forehead with a snap on 1-3/4" combination wrench)

5th- rebuild another 304 to swap for the original 304 since it had 6 broken piston rings, and one of them had wore the 3 ring lands into 1 then proceeded to wear out the cylinderwall. (I told you it had a skip, why won't you listen to me)

after that things got easier, you know little stuff like SOA,drive shaft fab,find and rebuild/regear a dana44, and added an arb of course, front axle will get done after my dd (1965 falcon 2dsd) gets rebuilt. Then there's the total rewire(and I do mean TOTAL, not one old piece of old wire left, new fuse panels, all new wire, all soldered, all heat shrunk, almost waterproof) that was done after the painless replacement fuse panel fried
itself.

The good news is that it needed no cosmetic work at all, someone already did a fair job on floor repair, and new tub sides. as much as I may not like the color whoever sprayed it di a pretty good job, I even waxxed it once.:bling:

Sorry I'm so wordy toaday, I've been home with the flu for almost 2 week, and I'm getting bored.

So when yu'ns go out pm me I'll make it if I can.

So does my dad and my wife, but I cant trust my dad's opinion since 1) he's a yankee 2)he drives a super blinged out ford ranger in that lovely shade of teal that was popular in the 90's 3)when he ordered his new '03 H-D road glide he got it in teal as well. :shaking:

As far as amy wifes opinion goes anything that will make her like, or at least tolerate, my purple money pit is ok. but she has already said she's ok with orange anyway. She came close to using the old "get rid of it or else" when I got it. seems she wasn't keen on the fact that I spent a bunch of money on a heep that I couldn't drive while she was out of town for the weekend on business, even after she shared her opinion about it. (In my defence she said "you don't need a jeep" notice she did NOT say "do not get that jeep") It's all good now since when we camp she gets to drive around all the forest svc roads with the top off. She get's lots of looks too, since she's really cute and drivin a bright purple lifted cj.
Cute chicks in hot rigs:bounce:
