The Dude Abides

I have both and use both reguarly

I hope it wasnt the good brat.

That is an epic garage. Think of it this way. You can still keep all your tools in that one area and if you need to get to it you can always move your car in the driveway. There is also i noticed a HUGE unutalized space between the double and the single door. Perfect for racks, or rolling tool boxes. If you put stuff there you would still have plenty of room for your car and access to yoru tools. I dont know how comfortable you are about opening and closeing a bunch of drawers around your restored classic car though.

front wheels are easy, rears are hard unless you buy generic eibach springs

No brent ill figure something out.

I kinda liked your setup. Everything on the wall clearly able to be seen. Sometimes toolboxes can be pains in the butt.

spacers price vs washers price

y are spacers better then washers

Hey brent, answer my pm.

Ok so now i got my awsome disc brakes on but i have a problem. The rear center covers dont fit quite right. There about 1/4 of an inch off. So my question is how bad would it be on the rear assembly, wheels, brakes whatever if i threw 2 maybe 3 good sized washers on the lugnuts then put the wheel on. IM not going for huge offset here just want my centers to fit properly. If this is to hard on the car obviously i wont do it but ive seen hotrodders do it to certain cars. Not saying its smart just saying its been done before. Your thoughts.

Speaking of which sir is there anything left at your old homestead you still need to get. So i can return your socket to there instead of the boonedocks.

Wow that must be way different then what we get in the states because as far as i know they ditched the 4wd high and low in the late 80s early 90s and just went with either front wheel drive or awd.

Tons of different reasons ofr possibly that. For your rattling ditch the midpipe and the cat unless you need it. If you need it then you know replace it. Im having the rattle and i cant determine if mines from the midpipe or the cat. Ben

ill check it out. What fluid do i need and how to i refil the pumpkin

What electric fan setup is that off of.

cORREct me if im wrong but wont pulling the rear diff off alow what fluid is in there to fall out.

Ive been noticeing this noise when im driveing down the road. I thought it was the tires at first but when i put my pugs on the noise remained. When i had the car in the air today with both wheels off i spun them both thinking it might be a wheel bearing. Seems like the noise is comming from the rear diff. If these get low on fluid can they make noise like that, or if there exceptionally dirty. Any other ideas. Ben

Not to be rude but your brother is being pretty pigheaded. Being a hardcore jeep guy he can tell its got a motor and axels that are no joke. Even jeep guys shold be atle to appreciate that.

I had the lower balljoints replaced last year and now i noticed the side that was bad before has really bad toe in. Now when i check out the lower balljoint again its torn. Is there some other suspension component i need to be looking at to tear through balljoints. Or could we of missinstalled it (though i have confidence it was). Just looking for any ideas as it pulls to the right just a tad to make it annoying. Of all my problems with the car this is the one i need to address last but i figured id give it a shot. Ben

Wow who ever said the rear disc brake swap was easy. Actually it wasnt to bad but the brake lines from the calipers werent cooperating so they got replaced. Busted a bolt off the backing plate. Bleed them real good with the 2 man system. There wasnt to much air in the system but my friend commented on how much mud is in my brake system. I was like, its not suspost to be brown lol. All is good now. Definately needed new brakes. I was down to the metal on all 4 shoes for the rear brakes, i dont even think it was grabbing anymore. Ben

If i replace it with just a straight pipe wont it be louder. Even a chery bomb muffler woudl be quieter then a straight piece of pipe i would think.

What about the resoner, its rattling and driveing me crazy.

Cash for clunkers. Im teasing, man take some time this weekend and get those vehicles running. Its always good to have backups.

hows the motor, what about that siver wagon you showed me. That might be a decent swap replacement.

Ok well see where this goes tomorrow. Going over to my buddys house with a garage full of tools and a impact gun. Whose laughing now subaru.
