What's going on everybody. I haven't been around much, just working my tail off trying to get rid of these medical bills. Hey Milk, sounds like the jeep bugs biting again. Be carefull about the jeeps older than the 90's. The frames rot out really bad on them, and that's why most people get rid of them. Take it easy guys.

Boy were we pissed off, because we ended up having to wait till we got the correct socket
just for 2 bolts that were keeping us from getting the trany out.

I could help you with that...and I have the socket too
It fell through... it was a guy I work with who had it, but he traded it in on one of those push pull or tow we will give you 2k things over the weekend.

I'd love the info... hell if you know the guy give him mine. idriveagirlcar@gmail.com or 860 888 seven two zero one, I have cash in hand and am just waiting to pull the trigger. Almost died Sunday morning coming home at 2 am in the snow driving the Z. I didn't mean to be out past 11 but thats honestly how long the Cheese cake factory in west hartford took.

Thanks for the head up. glad to see your doing well and still have some work, My brother (also driving trucks) got laid off yesterday. I would love a TJ but I don't think it's in the cards right now. Another year or two into my apprenticeship and I'll have one for sure.

I'll see if it's still there on Thursday or Friday. I'll see what he'll take for it for a friend. I saw that he moved it the other day... so, I just want to make sure it isn't sold.

Hey folks - just wanted to post up and give a quick wave. Hope you're all doing well, and in case I don't talk to you before the holidays, have a very merry!

Hey, checked out that Jeep for sale. It is infact a YJ and it looked to be in good condition. Didnt have a price on it, just a phone number, but my guess would be this is in the 3k range. Ill grab the phone# off it next time i drive downtown if your interested

Not yet, but I'll try to snap some soon... in fact, if the weather lets up while there's still daylight, I'll post up today. I ended up going with Hankook tires, and I had my doubts at first, but they've proven very good in deep snow so far.
