Tioga county, northcentral PA. I'm pretty much all alone up here.

 

Alright going to the junkyard Friday hopefully
Here is what I'm looking for:

ZJ V8 tie rod
WJ sway bar links to make discos
Gas tank skid( good luck)
Hood vents, I think from a pontiac
Driving/fog lights
A Dana 30 cover to make some armor

I most likely will only find the Dana 30 cover, end links, and and tie rod. I really want a gas tank skid. Anything else I should look for?

 

I've been stranded twice now from my front passenger brake overheating. I think the piston is sticking and and is keeping the pad in contact with the rotor. Looks like money is going to replace the front brakes now

 

Replaced both front calipers. 40 some dollars after the core charge, which I thought wasn't bad.

I've gotten into kayaking and wanted to have a good way to mount it on the roof. The stock bars seemed to weak for my taste. So today I pulled the trigger and started making my own gutter mounts and cross bars. The gutter mounts aren't nearly as tricky as I anticiated so far.

 

I have all the gutter mounts bent to shape out of 1/8"x2" steel. Still waiting for the j tacks to arrive before I continue

 

Post up some pics of the cross bars you're building, also some with the kayak!

 

Its almost done, I definitely will.

 

we went to the Syracuse Nationals with my dads Chevelle today. I picked up 1156 led projector bulbs for new back up lights

 

The kayak rack is finally done. Paint is curing right now.

And I picked up a set of 33x12.5x15 Mud Dogs with I think a little less than 50% percent. I'm gonna run them off road only with 3 inches of lift. I need wheels.

Hopefully pictures tomorrow

Here is my kayak/fishig pole rack complete. I ran out of time to put my j racks and kayak on top, but this is the finished product. I put a berkley fishing pole rack on it. It sits about a 1/4" lower than the OEM cross bars. Very sturdy.
What do you think?

 

Look at my new meats, going to use them off road only.

Failed inspection, bad upper and lower ball joints and the nasty crack in the frame rail. I guess I have some work ahead of me.

Thanks, and go for it
