Re: Junkyard Jimmy Super Low Buck Build Thread
Badpeanut, the reason I plumbed it this way was just cuz it looks better. There are pro's and cons either way. I appreciate you pointing out the difference though. If someone was gonna use mine as a guide they might not like that it's non-stock.

Re: Junkyard Jimmy Super Low Buck Build Thread
A couple of things that came up today were that I had a hell of a time starting it and the rear brakes were not grabbing at all (well I knew that last part a while ago, makes for ez brake stands).
I was having some trouble with it sputtering the past couple weeks and then double checked that the manual choke was actually opening and it wasn't. Popped it open and it's running like a champ again. Then today it would not start. It had been flooding with the choke issue so I checked again and sure enough, the cable is binding and keeping it shut too far. If I pull to hard shut it binds up and won't open, so I'm gonna try using some marks on the choke knob shank as a reference. http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps4752edcc.jpg The brake issue I thought was just that they needed bled again. But while looking things over I found the adjuster on the pass side had popped out of its slot. So I got that back into position, readjusted the pads on both sides, bled the lines again just because, and gave it another test drive... http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps4bc55bd0.jpg http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps1ad258d1.jpg http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n...psf0e6e9a6.jpg Test drive SAT. (Abbreviation for satisfactory) Took it out through a cornfield on the south edge of town. Drove it like I stole it.;) |

I'm getting to the point where I'll have to tear more stuff apart to "finish" it. Gotta pull the rear seat out and the wheel tubs to reseal those and get the bed liner done in the back. I need to do a little cutting and welding to get the roll bar mounted the way I want. Fix the driver side seat mounting (needs a spacer to lift it and more permanent bolting), still need to change lube in the diffs, install the electric fan, fix a few wiring glitches, hook up the stereo (low priority) replace some headlights, replace plug wires, fix gas tank fill hose, fuel gauge, and then decide which way I'm gonna go with bumpers and start working on those. I have doubts that I will start the suspension changes this winter. And honestly, I'm in no hurry to jump into that. I'm having way too much fun driving it. Can't stand having a laid up vehicle. I have a bunch of vacation days to use up before the end of the year. I have some house projects to tackle but I know there will be several garage days in there too. Thanks again for the support/encouragement I have received from my fellow gear heads.:uhmk: |
Re: Junkyard Jimmy Super Low Buck Build Thread
Awesome, isn't it great getting to drive it?

Finally got back to work on this thing. I went out to the garage and saw that the front left tire was low. So I aired it up and took it for a test drive... http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps57a80247.jpg http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps16fd52e7.jpg http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps5bbbb30b.jpg http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n...psf8ea017c.jpg http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n...psfbfa67fd.jpg http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n...ps82747739.jpg |

Glad we didn't get hit like NE MN did. The arrowhead region had 2' this morning and were expecting another foot. I think the snow is here to stay this time. Here's some video of the fun. I freaking love driving this thing.:devil: |

BTW, my garage is heated too. That heater was by far the best spent money in the entire garage. Quote:

Single digit highs and below zero lows for the next several days. I figured if I was on a snowmobile I'd be in the open, so no top for me. I had my heavy coat on, and knit hat, and gloves. The heater was on. The boy and I were just fine. Quote:
It's gonna need a rear locker at least though. Spools are much cheaper. Need to do some parts searching. I used a lock right on my C-10. It's a bit cheaper than replacing the full carrier and it's easy to install. Need to find a bargain though, money is tight. |
