Title: Another one bites the dust!
Post by: The Machinist on November 30, 2009, 09:22:36 AM
Sorry to hear about your XJ tubby :'(, you'll have to watch out for those 80 year old snowbirds driving 50 ft motor homes.  Time to find another, we'll swap over all the goods!

Regardless of what happened to your XJ, I'm really, really hoping that you're all right.

Let me be the second (after Jamie) to say that I'll volunteer some (relatively unskilled) labour to give you a hand swapping parts over to your new rig.

I'm also willing to help swap over parts I may not be pretty or smart but I'm good at the whole  "hold this hit that" game.

Noel....I finish teaching on the 18th.  While the wife would probably kill me if I spent too much time, I could make it down there for a full day sometime early the next week, or even that weekend (first of the week might be better).

Let me know if you need a hand. I'm pretty good at smacking my fingers between jeep parts and a hammer, too.  :o

NO, NO, NO!

Jamey must have had little to no sleep last night. He misunerstood me completely! I was involved in an accident in a FRIEND"S Jeep. Not mine(knock on wood) I was a passenger in a Jeep that got t-boned at an intersection. It is a write-off. The elderly gentleman that hit us is taking complete responsibility for the mishap. I want to thank all those kind people that offered their time and mechanical skills though. I'm a little humbled by the support that the Jeep community has just displayed. I'm okay physically(not sure about the mental health though) ,and thank you Tom for offering a tweaking; but this old body of mine has had all it's joints wrecked from 8 years of MMA-it's a write off!

Again, my sincere apologies for any miscommunication on my part. My Jeep  is fine. My friend Derek's XJ is a pretzel.


ps. Nice try Nathan. I'd give my diffs with the chromos, and ARB's to Pook before whoring my Jeep parts to you. ;D

The funny thing is that my Jeep is comprised of parts from vehicles that have rolled, burnt down, or expired. You vultures will have to wait a while.

"Clatons?" Did you mean my "CLAYTON" long/hard arms?

Bosak, Jamey, Dac, JohnnyC, Mr. Jeep 5, Tootc., Trevor....any of you guys tell Nathan yet? Are we going to quietly keep this joke to ourselves? I don't think he's figured it out yet.
