[gary63]

so true but don't lot your wife read that or I hope your jeep has a very comforble intirer

[bluedragon436]

Yeah I don't think I would push my luck on that one.. Lol!! So far all of my mods and repairs have occurred in the driveway.. So nothing fun yet...

[4.3LXJ]

I used the dinning room table for something the other night, but ssssshhhhhh, don't tell her :pray:

[bluedragon436]

One can only imagine what that use was.. Now sitting here in the hotel room thinking, the only things I've ever done in the house for the XJ is I bored out my TB in the tub, and I washed my flares in the tub so that I could have a clean start to repaint the faded things..

[4.3LXJ]

Actually I do all kinds of stuff in the house. But it needs to be completely clean when I do. For instance, if I needed to rebuild a carb it would be inside.

[bluedragon436]

Yeah might be good to make sure you got a nice clean environment while rebuilding a carb..

[4.3LXJ]

Yeah, but she wouldn't let me tear down an engine inside ...

On another note, my son, a chip off the old block, used the engine he was rebuilding in his living room as a Christmas tree stand ...

[XJ Wheeler]

I'm like you on this Steve, if i can i take my work inside. Its usually 90+ degrees outside and its worth it to work in the air condition.

[4.3LXJ]

That and if I need a clean environment, I need to get it away from the grinder dust in the shop.

[XJMJeep]

34. You never have to worry about your Jeep spending your money.



I'm not sure about that one :D

[Hum Wee JR]

Yeah, but she wouldn't let me tear down an engine inside ...

On another note, my son, a chip off the old block, used the engine he was rebuilding in his living room as a Christmas tree stand ...
Well it I did not have a garage at the time. I just got engine block back from the machine shop and it was not staying outside in the rain and snow. So I put it in the living room. But now there was no room for the Christmas tree. So I carefully raped rags around the tree trunk and slipped the tree into one of the cylinders. On Christmas day after opening presents I dragged the tree outside and hualed the engine stand into the living room and asembally proceeded.


However the best one was when I was 17 years old I snuck a motorcycle in my bed room, pulled the motor and rebuilt it put the motor back in without getting caught. Mom still doesn't know!

[4.3LXJ]

C'mon, your taking all the fun out of it ...

You would do it again anyway ...

And he forgot to tell you his Mite top was stored in the house till we got it on. So where does it go for the summer anyway?
