The Pumpkinator's Build Thread

Oh and he ordered AEV coils today, 4.5" front 3" rear.

[Luckrider]

So much for the RC lift. I guess it is time to sell the whole kit (right?). So what happened, just not enough rate for the rate?

[LGriffith]

There'll be quite a bit of room with 4.5", tubes, and 35's...?

[hotrod_hooligan]

Just the coils are getting changed out(they are already spoken for), the RC2.2's are staying. With the coil spring relocators in the rear, there will be an inch more lift to the rear anyway, add the weight of the winch to the front too....
Right now as it sits, with the RC 2.5" coils, a 1.75" coil spacer in the front, and the 3/4" lift in the rear from the relocators, the rear still sits 1.5" higher in the rear. Granted this is without the spare tire in the back, but I stood on the rear bumper, and it only dropped about 1/2".

[Luckrider]

Yeah, I think I can picture the problem, but it really would be better with real pics. I guess I will wait to see when James makes his post.

Rod you weigh as much as my right leg does, that rim/tire combo prolly has you beat by 25 lbs

[hotrod_hooligan]

I'll agree with me weighing as much as your right leg, 'cause you are getting a little tubby :flipoff2: But I've still got a good 50lbs on that tire/wheel combo. Don't hate because I've got the metabolism of a 15 y/o!

whoa dude....JF confessionals right there

[imped4now]

^^^HAHA. That's funny stuff. That makes two of us Rod. Fast metabolism=I eat fat food and don't get fat.

[hotrod_hooligan]

LOL I think I made James and Robert jealous the other night. We ordered pizza from The Ordinary(pics of that to come), Robert said that the real eaters can only eat two pieces before they call it quits, James had a piece and a half, Robert had 2, and I had 2, then ate the rest of James' piece(couldn't bring myself to eating another whole piece though). THEN there's the side effects from the sausage, which I didn't feel, meanwhile they're busy blowing up bathrooms. I attribute it to my semi-regular visits to White Castle, I've got an iron stomach.

Now waffles on the other hand, waffles are my kryptonite.















I'd call this thread derailed, and should stay that way until James finally posts up some pics of the Jeep.

[Luckrider]

I think Rod is right, this thread really has been derailed without pics.

BTW, pics or it never happened.

[hotrod_hooligan]

He's on his lunch break right now, at the parts store trying to get the rest of the parts needed to finish the brakes.

[Luckrider]

Wow, that is dedicated. What times does he work. I mean, he seams to post a lot of stuff LATE. He must sleep even less than I do.

[hotrod_hooligan]

He works at the Home Depot, his schedule changes a lot.

[Luckrider]

Ahh.. I hear that. What was the army for him, was he reserves, or is he retired now, just on leave?

As for the whole schedule changing thing, isn't that how almost all retail is, they are always changing things around, and they usually want open availability so that they can tie you up. I had a teacher that worked there about 5-8 hours per week, and they would occasionally try to mess with his schedule, he taugh full time, and has 2 kids under 3 years old.
