Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / November 2007Sorta OT Need some info.
Seeing as I've become the southern gentleman I've4 been looking for something to run around in locally. don't need a 400+HP monster to drag my skinny a.s, fishing pole and a cooler to the beach. So I've been looking at older Jeeps. The last one I had was a 75 CJ5, can't find one of them anymore around here that's any good. But I did find a 86 CJ-7 that has had a body off 3 years ago. 6cyl 4 speed that I'm thinking about looking at. The guy on the phone say's the mounts were done and so on, as well as brake and fuel lines. You folks have any thoughts? Roy Yes rabbit, it will have enuff power to pull my a.s to the beach.<VBG> > Seeing as I've become the southern gentleman I've4 been looking for > something to run around in locally. don't need a 400+HP monster to drag my [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Yes rabbit, it will have enuff power to pull my a.s to the beach.<VBG> Yeah, a Rascal!!!!!!!

I already have a damn golf cart! It came when we bought the place last year. Here's a nice little toy I wouldn't mind having to just drive around: http://www.burnsvilleoffroad.com/Articles/05_11_06c.aspx This is proof that the Hemi "will" fit in the new Dakotas and that Dodge is too lazy/stupid to figure out how to make it happen. >>> Seeing as I've become the southern gentleman I've4 been looking for >>> something to run around in locally. don't need a 400+HP monster to drag [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > I already have a damn golf cart!

Two common problems are rusted frame and body mounts. Look it over well underneath if it has been used off road. I would also post your question here, there should be some knowledgable folks. http://ramjaw.org/ >> Seeing as I've become the southern gentleman I've4 been looking for >> something to run around in locally. don't need a 400+HP monster to drag [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > http://ramjaw.org/ Thanks Mike.

I'll also bring a magnet with me. What I'm looking for as far as info goes, is inherent problems with that particular year.

Wondering if he had some info there.

Roy, WAKE UP, the 400+HP isn't to drag your skinny a.s, pole and cooler to the beach, it's to drag your skinny a.s, pole, cooler and many tarpon back from the beach... Be optimistic. With all the sunken treasure around, you also need the extra HP to haul your gold and silver trinkets back to the house. (You did get a good metal detector, right?) I just today saw Diesel at 3.999/gal, ouch. I may be lookin for a beater or carpool myself.

Tons of desert rails, dune buggies, quads, etc. down here and a few jeeps.. The Samari is real popular but they scare the hell out of me as far as being tippy.. Nate will probably mention the Rhino... we almost bought one but it just wasn't practical and way too much money.. fun toy though, for sure.. We ended up buying a 95 blazer.. the little one... for $4k and it's been working great down here... Cheap to drive, everyone knows how to work on them... enough 4x4 for the dirt roads here and fast enough to take on shopping trips to the states.. Big plus over Jeeps and stuff is that it has AC and windows.. The older I get, the more I appreciate stuff like that.. ;-] mac Please remove splinters before emailing >>Seeing as I've become the southern gentleman I've4 been looking for >>something to run around in locally. don't need a 400+HP monster to drag my [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > get, > the more I appreciate stuff like that.. ;-] I wanted the Jeep as it is a short money 4x4thing with a no top option, that after a day at the beach fishing with all the crap that get's spilled I can stick a hose in it and wash it out. A/C isn't a issue running on the beach, short errands the doors are off there and should be enough breeze.

We have 3 trucks now, if you consider the little blazer a truck, and that's one too many.. I just missed a chance at a 66 cj for $3,000 that would have been pretty much what you're looking for... pretty much 2 gauges and a couple of switches on the dash and that was it for creature comforts..bracket for the spare welder on, etc.. the sort of thing you could flood and let dry.. We're still playing with the idea of replacing the Dakota with a daily driver and putting bigger wheels and suspension on the blazer.. What I'd really like is one of the old umm... power wagons?? Ram chargers? whatever they were... a guy down here has a bright yellow one that he just rebuilt the 318 in, says it will go pretty much anywhere and climb anything.. mac Please remove splinters before emailing >>I wanted the Jeep as it is a short money 4x4thing with a no top option, >>that after a day at the beach fishing with all the crap that get's spilled [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > and putting bigger wheels and suspension on the blazer.. > What I'd really like is one of the old umm... power wagons?? Ram chargers? The old power wagon had those swept front fenders, a real cool looking machine. > whatever they were... a guy down here has a bright yellow one that he just > rebuilt the 318 in, says it will go pretty much anywhere and climb > anything.. The 86 that I was looking at was actually a 81. But it was as near to perfect as any I've seen on line or looked at around here. The seller had all the pics of the restoration. The only thing that needs to be done is repair a oil leak at the tcase and transmission,. While I'm there might as well do the clutch as well. Oh, need some nerf bars so Sue can get into it.

What? you put fenders on the machine? Ohhhhhhhh, my stomach. I feel as fat as a wabbit. Turkeys turned out great. The smoked one, 12#, went 8 hours. I started the smoker at 415 this morning and had that bird on by 5. The BBQ T didn't get cut so I'm not sure how it turned out but it did smoke really dark. The oven T, a 19#+, was cooked with Safeway's recipe at 475* for 2 hours. It has to be the best oven cooked turkey I've ever had. The moistest also. Two cases of twobuckchuck and plenty left.

Since this has been a equal opportunity releationship from the start, she know's if she wants to come along her a.s had best be in the seat and strapped in when the engine starts. There will be no bowing, sweeping gestures or the like. Don't be giving her any more ideas than she already has. It is rough enough around here as it is. Hell, right now she can out shoot me with that damn pistol of her's. I get her with the AR though.

LOL! Don't know what the deal is. Maybe it's the way I hold it. She has that S&W 686 and is damn good with it. I thought at first I needed to change my glasses but I'm nut's on with the Sig239. With the 686 she is constantly better. I suppose it has a lot to do with what you spend time with. Still have to find a outdoor range in the area, neither one of us what's to go indoors. Roy > Denny
