Keystone State Thread

aoaa meet ?

 

Last october. I burned my eyebrows because my fire was a little too hot and kinda backdrafted on me when I opened the door.

 

So all of that happened waiting on parts from headstrong Offroad to make it to the AOAA meet
Lol

 

300 mile drive in that wind sucked today. Need a beer.

 

Soooo I got a 3.4l motor from the guy in Md and a rear elocker axle. Now he said the motor ran good. Had 165k mi on it. When I got it home I pulled the plugs. Cyl 2 had rusty water in it. I was hoping maybe they just hosed water into the intake. I checked compression today. Cyl 1 & 2 was 50, cyl 3 was 0, cyl 4 was 105, cyl 5 was 105, cyl 6 was 0 fml

 

Two entirely different conversations. I was relating to waiting on parts in one and just noting that I burned my eyebrows yesterday.

 

Yeah, it ran good when he pulled it... 10 years ago...

 

Rebuild time

 

@Blackout14 found the snake. Well I heard him. I heard this loud thunk don't know where he fell from walked around the corner balled up

 

Yeah... I dont want to do that. Haha I may just pull one out of my local upullit yard. Reason I didn't want to is because the ones at those yards have 250+k miles. Although I may just pull the motor apart and see how bad it is. Idk.

 

Honestly I thought you were talking about @Blackout14 himself

 

Moving back to Philly area (Huntingdon Valley - 19006) in the near future. We closed on our house out there two weeks ago so it's starting to get real. I'm active duty Navy and we lived there from 2012-2015 and made a lot of great friends that felt more like family so we plan to make it permanent this time. Look forward to catching up to some of you guys once we make it back. Cheers!

 

So, a little while back someone was asking about storage cases equivalent but cheaper than Pelicans. I have two 42" Plano cases mounted on my bedrack or about a year now, and I remember saying that they are all good, keeping my stuff dry and all... Until now.
I was going through my cases today, andbboth of them had water in them... Might have been my fault by overloading them with large items, which put stress on the lid, and them closing them shitty, Idk. So there is that.
Not too happy about that

 

Jo n's Plano cases are still water tight despite slight overloading. Just don't stress the lids too much

 

I think that's what might have happened. I had some awkwardly sized tool bags and things in them, and today I finally re-bagged and reorganized things, while doing it I found water. I'll pay extra attention to it now.

 

Welcome. From Feasterville

 

Yhaaaaa I know just screwing with you

 

It happens to the best of us.

To some people if the engine runs at all it runs good!!

Sadly some people are that clueless .

It could very well be from how long it sat outside uncovered but my luck never goes that way.
