Well after I am finshed my ice cream dinner I'll go show you lol I made a little block thing for the lights on the roof rack but I damaged it taking the rack off one day so I saw that and I was like neato! Something pre fabbed I can use instead of making a new thing and an exra fusable link can't hurt! And the other stuff is for some things I started late in the fall and never really finshed before it got cold! I need to work on fixing in some switches I moved to relocate my deck so I could have my gps in in the spot it used to be. I had to re work the vents a little to make it all work so I'm just starting my work all over again! And I alos have speakers for the cb that I'm mounting where the air vents are on the drivers and passangers side they are blocked off except for the two top little ones that go to the windows. I never use those vents I find they dry out my eyes to much so I only use the top of the dash vent

OH ok... I kind of was figuring that you were doing lights with them... I usually always run the defrost vents on all my vehicles...

Those crimper/strippers will prove handy XjJeepacorn .. :thumbs up:

Keep a good grip on the drill when you use that monster bit .. coz if it bites in ... the drill is going to buck worse than any 8sec rodeo ride .. ;);)

I'm used to my I phone this new android thing I don't get it! not only has it made my avatar side ways but trying to get pictures on my computer holeeeee it might help if the computer was a little newer all I really use it for is word processing.

Ok so I grabbed some more goodies today!

5229

Ok so I'll explain a little a couole years ago I made a cute little exhaust fan for my cb because I was afraid of it getting too hot in there for the cb. I blocked off the 2 center hearers and replaced it with a cb and on top I made a cute little housing for the fan that perfectly fits the contour of the dash! It has leds and everything! I know I know the leds are a little ricer but I thought ot was just a neat touch! The fan is actually a computer fan one of the 120 mm ones! And yes they are 12v dc!! Hurray!! Welp 2 years later I burnt the little sucker out and I'm now replacing it! I just hooked it up to the batter to show you guys! And I'm replacing the blade with the all red one that has the jeepacorn on it! You know how hard it was to find someone to make me that minoature jeepacorn??? Hard lol!!

Well today was an epic fail! I woke up early because I had to fix a u joint in the jeeps rear although I did sleep in a little so. Two of the bolts that hold the little cup thing over the joint snapped while I was trying to take them out. So by the time I fed my self and the dogs walked the dogs fixed the u joint and drilled out and tapped the holes in the pinion and had the jeep ready to roll it was around noon. I set off a little late bit I still had plenty of time to go grab the main things I wanted and maybe a few extras. So my friend chase, the guy who is letting me use his drill press is along the way. Literly 5 blocks from his place the check gages light pops on. Jeepy started to spontaniously over heat :/ so I just sat there for a good 20 minutes. No leaks the fluid thing was full... so when the gage got back around its normal 210 opperating tempature I drove over to his place. Took his car went home and grabbed some coolent. And my eletric fan came back now it was getting closer to 1:30 so we ha some lunch and then once it was completly cool took off the fill cap from the rad and jeepie wanted to have a few sips. I shook him and then bubbles and more sips... now I've gone 2 winters now with partial heat lol last time I did my water pump I burped th crap out of it for like ever and then that coming winter partial heat and by that time taps had to be off because your lies would freeze. Then I moved! And no longer had hose acess. In other words I couldn't try giving the heater core a flush and then in the summer who thinks of it right? Lol!! So yeah I'm thinking it came back to hont me! Actually most of the fluid I put in spewed back out when I let it run. So I just let it run for like half an hour and it wouldn't even get up to 210. And now its like 20 after 3 and the yard closes at 4 :( real sad I was looking forward to today :(

This was a 66 dollar mistake! Ment to order it to my friends and now it cost me 66 dollars in import fees on top of shipping and the 119 dollar value of the product :/ oh well on the bright side I have shiny new parts to install!

Rocco83

That's what you get for living in the state of Neil Young and Rush. Like you said though, at least you have shiny new parts to install. I ordered a rear bumper off Amazon from a fab place about 120 miles away that were at FedEx he next day and won't get here until 21 days after FedEx received them.

I could have rode a bicycle up there pulling a Radio Flyer behind me to put the bumper in and could have made the trip in a weekend. Damn near everything I order off Amazon is ineligible for Prime. How do you order most of your stuff? Order to a US friend and then smuggle it across the border?

Most of my stuff I buy in canada from local dealers who deal with most of the american fab companies. We also have tmr customs but they don't have everything! I learned real quick to not just buy from the states! If our govenments were smart they would fix that! It would probably be really good for businesses I normarly order off amazon.ca and ebay.ca because you actually get things shown in cad and all the free shipping and all the candian sellers so you don't get butt hurt by customs. I don't smuggle!! If I spend a week in buffalo I can bring back $800 worth of stuff duty free... I think there are limits on alochol and tobacco ...
