Title: The baby jeep is going to grow Sat the first.
Post by: Rebell Bull on February 20, 2008, 05:39:37 AM

Hey yall. Well soon we will all get to help me put on a lift. That is right, I sold the torino and am buying a lift oh and tires and making a roof rack and a slip yoke eliminator thing. I just don't know when exactly, but with in the next three to four weeks.

Order for SAT 1st.
0900    Start Lift on Rebel Bull's Jeep

????     Spend the twenty min. and replace Reg's Wheel Bearings, or if we get a second lift open earlier, we can do it then.

????     Drop Pitman arm and engine mount for One Eye.

Okay, so heres the scoop. Supposed to be in before next week, if it is then I will do it on Sat the First at nine. You all want donuts, or pizza.  And by the way ONE ROUND EYE why you got to pick on squares. I guess next time those damn gears on the yellow thing infront of me is going to slow, I will just have to run it over with the big bad square tractor.  HAR, HAR

Title: Re: The baby jeep is going to grow
Post by: Rebell Bull on February 26, 2008, 04:11:32 PM

It will be predisassymbled if I have time. If Not, the spring bolts were all taken off two months ago when we did Reg's lift, I got his old stock springs.

Title: Re: The baby jeep is going to grow
Post by: One-Eye on February 26, 2008, 04:15:46 PM

Hey, if you want a hand with predisassembly just give me a call.  I usually spend my Friday nights drinking and watching the Craftsman Truck Race.  I guess I can put that on hold to work on a Jeep.  Besides, I have DVR!  HAHAHA  Anyway, I also have to install an engine lift on mine so maybe we can knock them both out.  Not sure what your plans are so just shoot me a PM or something.  I'm OUT!!!!

Thanks, and we tested the tow points, you can pick the jeep up by them.  The riggers helped with the weight test.

DUDE!!!  "RebelBull Fabrications"  Scary thought  hhuuu :o  Nothin but love.  Hey, in regards to the lift on Saturday.  I will bring some "Ice Tea" or "Apple Juice"   ;D ;D ;D

Oh yeah, I have some Medical crap to take care of at 1445 on Friday so I wont be home till like 1700 I would say.  I'll give you a call to make sure you are still there working.  I'm Out!!!

Title: Re: The baby jeep is going to grow
Post by: Heavy Chevy on February 28, 2008, 11:03:12 PM

Rebel wanted me tell everyone that his lift came in today and it is a GO for Saturday morning, so see you there

Title: Re: The baby jeep is going to grow
Post by: Rebell Bull on February 29, 2008, 09:10:10 AM

I will definately be there still at 1700, I can't weld till after four and I still have a few welds to complete on the cargo rack, but the basket is done except for the expanded metal and attaching it to supports.  By the Way, Hot Rod, You can buy the ones with plates to bolt on for around 10 dollars at TSC, I just chose to get the weld on because I didn't want to drill through my bumper, welding is easier. What you guys think of the Frame. By the way, will be doing predisassymbly tommorrow, probably like 1800 and starting sat morning about 0900.
