seems legit

 

Hey you gotta take em out to dinner before you start asking for their driveshaft.

 

I may have parts for at least three vehicles I’ve never owned and three that I’ve let go.

 

lmao nice man

 

Opening the worlds smallest salvage yard one junk part at a time

 

This seems like a questionable business model, but I've never claimed to be a smart man

 

But really, anyone have need of an XJ front driveshaft? Been dragging this thing around for a decade now.

 

Maybe someone in Midwest Krawlers on FB.

 

Why not just have yours shortened?

 

Possibly. Though letting it sit in the corner of my garage for another decade will require less effort.

 

Turns out the yokes are different, it will cost the same if not more to completely modify it. I already expected to need one

 

Hang it on the wall for good luck

 

I have owned several XJs and can verify that people will just give parts away. XJ parts are so cheap that sometimes people just give away a whole XJ. Ask me how I know.

 

.... I want someone to give away an XJ....

 

If you had been on Maui about a decade ago, you could have had my XJ, Goldilocks. She was a beauty.

 

Yup, this one came free when I bought my rear axle

 

Watching this pretty neat.

The guy running the hydraulic grapple is skilled AF. I've done a small amount of forging (mostly fire pit pokers, candle stands and smaller stuff like that) and I always seem to struggle with the tongs. I can't imagine dropping that bright orange work piece and watching it roll toward the assistant...

Edit: thanks for making me late to a Zoom meeting lol. I regret nothing.

 

Hell yeah, I was hella impressed. Going from a block to a fairly perfect round circle. I'm curious how SCS wheels are made now.

 

When’s 2fang getting a forge?
