there are a few members i would like to take the time to thank. first, 4fortydemon bought a licience plate from me about a month ago, and i have yet to mail it, and offered to give money back, and still send it when i can. he insisted no. i just want to thank you for being patient, and it will be worth the wait, as i should have a stack of oldies very soon, free of charge, for your kindness !

also, badlilred79: i judged you before i got to know you. that i am sorry for, but when i was broke down 300 miles from home with two children and wife at 11 pm at night, you were there to save me. what more could a real friend ask for? you have been a man of your word to me, and that is what matters in this life.
you haVE SOME AWESOME CARS TO BE PROUD OF AND ALL THE HATERS ARE JUST JEALOUS!.

well, to the rest of the crew, i went on a long road trip with my jeep g.c and trailer to pick up a 02 altima for dirt cheap, and on the way home the engine blew!. i only have 30k on it since i rebuilt it, but i tow with it daily!. darn, i thought i did it 100% right.

well, to find out, i did build it right, but i used a timing chain set that came from a rebuild kit off of ebay, and the chain broke, and wiped all the gear teeth off the crank gear.
. loaded the jeep into the back of a 26 ft uhaul, and then hooked the trailer to the back. got home, called another flatbed to get it out. all said and done, it cost me about 900.00 for the hassle, including a new timing chain set. put napa set on it last night, and was back to towing this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
two weeks ago, i had my wisdom teeht pulled, and man, that was no fun, and still feeling the pain!.

enough of a rant for me.lol nice to be back on here!

oh, leaving in the a.m to pick up a numbers matching 70 340 auto console duster. all origional ! will get up a resto thread asap!
 
Welcome back....I also tow with a Jeep GC that is supposedly rated for 7500lbs. Mine is just a 4.7L. What motor and year is yours?
 
Sounds like a fun trip! And wisdom teeth suck. Done worry you'll be turn wenches and makin deals in no time.
 
it is a 2000 with 294,000 miles. 4.0 straight 6 cyl. rebuilt engine at 254,000
 
Well......you made some memories, that's for sure.
 
Glad you are back. Sorry to hear about your troubles...

My brother told me that our 98 5.9L GC can't tow cars. If you are doing it with a 4.0, our 5.9 should. That lyin sack....
 
That's cool you're back Joe. And amazing timing too -- I got your little Scat Pack keychain done today. Please PM me with your address so I can mail it to you. :-D
 
Glad you are back. Sorry to hear about your troubles...

Just because you can does not mean you should......
 
Just because you can does not mean you should......

I have a 98 Chevy 4x4 extended cab 6.5 ft box with the 5.7L vortec and factory trailer tow set up with electric brakes for trailer that I use for parts runs and towing. It has only 86 k on it now. I put a Kenwood Excelon bluetooth radio in it with a subwoofer so I can jam on long road trips and not think about the mileage...

Mom is using the GC right now. It used to be dad's. I get it when mom is done with it. It is the only year that they put the 5.9 L in the Grand Cherokee and it only has like 42 k on it right now.
 
yea, just cause you can does not mean i should!!!!!!!!. boy isnt that the truth.lol
i run 80 mph with car perfectly strapped and balanced on trailer, and only time i feel the weight is going up hill !.lmao

krazy, you got my favorite jeep!. it is the 98 jeep g.c 5.9 limited. one bad arse pulling truck. he lied to you!. i love the mess grille and the louvers on the hood, not to mention the body cladding, and they get up and go, too!
 
Plot: I know. That was a one year only option. Dad usually drove it in the winter when it was too snowy to drive his other cars. (89 Lebaron GTC 2.2 intercooled turbo, 94 Viper, and 69 Roadrunner Convertible we converted to a Hemi).

I agreed to let mom have it because it was more reliable than her car.
 
Welcome back 340plot, Looking forward to seeing you new post on the 340 car.
It's all behind you now and may the road be smooth for you for a long time
Just thinking about the wisdom teeth thing makes me :-& Blue skies and sun shine to you Plot :cheers:
 
Thought you'd given up on us. glad to hear your ok. Looking forward to your new post.:coffee2:
 
well, just got home with the 340 car. it runs and drives. all origional stuff under the hood including rad, manifolds, breather, carb, and engone/trans numbers matching. it is a fe4 red car with red and white interior. does need front floor pans and quarters. dash has been cut around radio, , so ill just stick in a new model radio. does have fender tag, but what build sheet it came with is the lower half!, which is no good to me.lol

will get pics u[p in the am


i want to thank badlilred79 once more, as he called me to tell me that this was up for sale in my neck of the woods. ( well 200 miles each way.lol), but close enough

getting close to a resto thread!
