One of the radio talking heads labeled the people who are having financial problems during this recession/depression as "underachievers". People who did not properly prepare for the present economic downturm. I was being sarcastic (as usual!).;-)

Good plan maritimer. That's kinda my idea. I'm just sitting here suffering the flu and feeling sorry for myself.:oops:

Exactly! And it isn't up for sale yet! :-D

Having bought it for a "song" it makes the most sense to me to realize a profit. And I didn't list the specifics of my finances, of course. But I just settled up my Mom's estate before this economy hit the skids. Being a cheapskate, I basically used up all my cash so that I wouldn't have to...

We bought our 1008 for a song. We made an awesome roadtrip to towbar it home 644 miles from Ft Mead to west-central Indiana. it has proven to be an awesome truck during the ice and snow that we have had this year. But this rotten economy may make me sell my FIRST mv to weather the tough times...

I went thru your album. That is a fine jeep you have there and you are doing a great job of restoring it. Give yourself a pat on the back from me!:-D

Yeah, my wife came in from work the other night and said that the tailights were out on the 1008. She was kinda embarrassed when we found the switch thrown. That was when we put the magnetic led interior light in it. In the dark you can't see that darn switch!;-)

Great looking truck. Hope you find a new cylinder or a way to replate yours. Hope it's not too expensive a repair!

The Gen 2 light is kinda funny sometimes. As long as it goes off in a few minutes and the voltmeter goes green you are probably alright. But I would clean all the connections as thouroughly as possible. I had problems with my Gen 1 light and it turned out to be the connection I had cleaned twice...

It means that I am broke!:oops: Or the same as. And I WANTED your tranny/T-case!

When I had the money, you weren't ready. Now that I am facing a layoff, YOU are ready! Storey of my life!:cry:

Hey, I'll volunteer to go get 'em if anybody wants to pay my way!;-) Better hurry tho. It's about over!

So I guess it was a no-go with Sarge? Did you tell him we said please?:cry:

My son used to know a girl in Jasper, Al. Cute little thing. Wonder if he still has her number?:-D

Oh no, say it isn't so!:-D

Sorry, I sold my original wheels with tires when I put the Outlaw 11s and new tires on. I had some old rims, but sold them to a junker when scrap was high. Surely someone has original tires and wheels for sale?:roll:

Too bad the pics died on this thread!:evil: I'll bet they were awesome!

Add my request for an update. This was fascinating while it was happening. Now an epilogue would be nice!:-D

Looks like you got a good one also. Mine had the GL modified driveshaft and tranny to t-case adapter. I want to install a 700R4 for better cruising speeds and engine life.Mine has already paid for itself this winter.:-D

Glad you got it home alright. Looks like a good truck.:-D
