"Fat guy" doing the happy dance

[derf]

Well, William seems to think I'm a fat, balding guy (Hey, I'm not balding!!!) so it's a fat guy doing the happy dance!

I just spent a couple of hours working on my Wagoneer. I finished plugging in the new wiring harness, changed the oil and swapped in a new alternator.

My Grand Wagoneer is now running under it's own power!!!

Now I just have to take it in and get it inspected...

Derf/Roy, good deal! Glad to hear the trail jeep is closer to seeing the trail. Good luck at inspection.

You got to stop posting and saying that you are fat, 'cause you aren't fat.

Congrads on the SJ! How much money have you sunk into it already?

But William said I was fat and I believe everything he says...

So far:

$500 - Purchase price of vehicle
$45 - Carb rebuild kit
$45 - Starter
$20 - Starter Solenoid
$40 - Alternator
$500 - Window channels and weather stripping from the stealership
$450 - Stereo system
$150 - 4 Pirelli Sorpion AT tires (31x10.50), used, 75% tread left
$250 - Misc parts and tidbits
------
$2000 so far.

Add to that:

$TBD - fixing power steering leak. Could be just hoses, could be pump, could be steering box, could be all of the above.

$200 - Holley Street Dominator 4bbl intake manifold (already purchased)
$TBD - as yet undecided carbureator or maybe Holley ProJection TBI

$600 - Rusty's 4" spring lift kit

$TBD - Good 33-35" tires, depending on fender trimming.

What else? I'm sure there will be something

I want to see a picture of the "fat guy"

Here I am, airing up the little stock tires on my bus after the Los Coyotes run I did with Sergey in January of 01.

Never gonna let that go are you Roy?

And after a little chiding (which you took well).. you're here.

At least you don't have a deep love of soy products like some!!

You're not "fat". I just don't know what William is speaking of, unless you have a "fat" wallet. And everyone who owns a Jeep needs one of those...

Been doing this for almost 28 years, where do I pick one of those up Kat?
