Probably Rod, Jane and Freddy of Rainbow fame.

Bubba was the one that you thought was a man in a bear suit but it was just him with no clothes on

Well its taken 10 months and a bit of welding but shes finally made it to the zinc bath, just need my parcel of bits from the states and in another 10 months i might actually have a rolling chassis

it kind of relaxes the frame, gives it a chance to rest and recuperate and look shiny too

you are such a muppet

It wont be shiny for long its going to get painted black with that gate paint that is favoured by the wrought iron people and sticks like crazy to galv, the inside can stay shiny though!.

Incidentally Bubba the chassis was rotten in two places,one was most of the outriggers where the water had collected under the body mounts and the other place was at the back where the second cross member in at the back (would be the bumper on a cj7) goes into the chassis. At that point the cross member must act as a bit of a water/mud trap just in front of the rear shackle mount, it might be worth a tap with the old hammer to check yours out as mine was rotten on one side and starting to go on the other side

good info dave will check mine maybe flood it with oill from time to time

Dave The Sparky · « **Reply #62 on:** January 12, 2011, 10:28:17 PM »

circled the troublesome area was just the underside

Bubba · « **Reply #63 on:** January 12, 2011, 10:30:21 PM »

good man dave

Dave The Sparky · « **Reply #64 on:** October 20, 2011, 10:57:23 PM »

Different cave, same lighting... BUT shes a rolling chassis again

Dave The Sparky · « **Reply #65 on:** October 20, 2011, 10:59:22 PM »

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #66 on:** October 21, 2011, 04:59:02 AM »

Im glad i did, the old 4.2 is desperately in need of a rebuild or is it time for another Toyota Diesel just to annoy you Jeep purists

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #70 on:** October 22, 2011, 08:42:09 AM »

dont be such a ghay
an amc V8 is the way
ditch the diesel yota
it aint ever a jeep motor

and that my son is poetry, innit

Dave The Sparky · « **Reply #71 on:** October 22, 2011, 01:30:57 PM »

Ill leave the V8s to you Bulldog you have them all anyway

4.2 is what she is and will be again after quite a bit of machining and an order from the States at vast expense

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #72 on:** October 22, 2011, 01:52:00 PM »

not got them all now

handed over a 401 this mornin

nice fella tho so it aint all bad, and he may be adding an 8 to his Bulldog Emporium shoppin list as well

Bubba · « **Reply #73 on:** October 22, 2011, 02:06:12 PM »

hmm interesting stuff sparKY engine had a full topend rebuild so the guy it came from reckoned inc a new old stock carb at alegedly huge expense this was the engine that was in my orange scrambler when first bought

lateral play on a 4.2 timing chain from set up is 7/8" if that helps
