I can't do that one. Either too generic or too far away. I can still get generic if it's close sometimes.
GCrites said:The Original Jungle Jim's in Fairfield. Easy.
Nope, the Eastgate one. Brap, you were just a few miles from me!
^Wait they have the train at both? You're probably right that it does look like an old Bigg's. I haven't been there since it was a Bigg's.

Yup, the Eastgate one. Took our sweet time home so we always stop when we are in Cincinnati.

good: drives nice, runs meh, all the suspension and brakes are new and look nice, no rust.
bad: needs a trans, 2nd grinds but I have a spare. Needs retuned bad, low rpm and transition throttle sucks dirty ass, been tuning on it a little. Needs some stuff changed up and around to make it more what we are after. It needs exhaust done so so bad. It's beyond loud.
Some pre wash nasty.
Been doing small things, checking stuff over, wipers, oil change, checking cooling system ECT prepping to swap trans and have even been tuning on it a touch. Mostly waiting on parts at this point.
Finally decided to fix the sway bar mount brackets and install my steering box brace.
Had to pull front bumper to get to spinning sway bar nuts in frame.
Clapped bushings.
All done, steering box brace made such a huge difference.
Starting the job I have been dreading for a month. My 02 sensor "extender" broke off and a quick hit with some heat and a good extractor yeilded me this.
So I applied more heat..... That's always the answer.
Got us nowhere, so ended up using a die grinder to grind out old fitting and tapping it.
All fix and sounding less like a derby car.
Updates updates updates.
Tabbie: just won't die
White focus: refrigerator
Beep Squarakee: need to fix the rocker this winter, all it really needs need.
Ranger: killed it's factory battery finally, and needs a pinion seal at some point and tint. Did a 800 miles round trip road trip with it last week.
Civic: refrigerator
Yellow neon: swapped the trans with one I rebuilt, fixed the same rad fans, put the new shifter in it, rigged up a slightly better coolant overflow. It still needs a terrible rattle fix and a better intake/Airbox and it will be Dyno ready. Also still the loudest exhaust known to man at 8600rpm.
Wow, the Ranger was on its original battery still? Had to be one of the last of that generation running around like that.
In reply to GCrites :
It was, it made me so happy. It's auctally at battery's unlimited to see if it can be fixed.
The saggy side skirts from the dreaded tin worms
Well it's time.
Sorta cut out and working on prep
Some cheap slip on rockers, flashing, and pop rivits we are getting somewhere.
Finished product. This was the worse of the sides. We lightly talked about giving a berkeley about doing it better, but the poor thing has 360k on it and has been wrecked a handful of times and well ...... It's tabbie.
Here is to atleast another week on this planet to tabbie, and I hope not another decade.
Ranger did some helping move folks.
Hacked a Airbox together for the yellow car.
Civic is civic
Good photo op going to machine shop.
So, new axle seal on neon split where the rubber meets the metal ring, so had to replace it.
Also since that went so smooth, did the pinion seal on the ranger finally.
Was coming back from town in the XJ, and was at a light and it started idling rough, surging and cel came on out of nowhere. Got home, scanned it and had a code for up and downstream 02 sensors heater core and high voltage for the upstream one.
Checked the 02 sensor fuse and found this.
Well why did it blow. The zip tie holding the rear 02 sensor wires up broke and it rubbed on the driveshaft. Couple heat shrink butt connectors later back in business. This is a PSA to check your rear 02 wiring next time your xj.
Wife did a thing.
4 doors, 2.4l, 200+ hp, manual, lsd, 4 wheel disk, independent front and rear suspension, small spoilers.
Swapping on a r/t rear bumper to start building the exhaust so I can get the tips where I want them.
Now it's the McDonald's car.
