WILL WE RUN INTO ICE/SNOW? alternate option is to run over to the coast and take 101 down, not sure where to cut over and back, and it'll add a lot of time to the trip. will probably be taking the '91 300d as it gets 35+ on the road... the other option is to go down to AZ via Boise, Salt Lake City and down that way, but I suspect we'd hit a lot more snow and ice that way... thoughts? (other than why not fly?) :) john ----- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://freegift.com ** http://wagoneers.com ** - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- there's a solution for every problem; problem is can we afford the solution? - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 2 Dec 2007 22:18:50 -0800 (PST) From: john Subject: xj: popcorn event! I was checking something else and noticed that ebay had a free car listing on Dec 1 & 2... So, I just listed two vehicles at 10pm seattle time, cut off is at midnight pacific time. :) Tired of messing around with some of these loose ends... and unfinished projects. Was thinking about taking these two vehicles and making one... but why? why should I go through all that work? so I figured what the heck, I'll try to sell the '89 GW and the '67 J100 rather than restore them or merge 'em. :) this is the '67 J100 - opens at $3,000. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160187117440 this is the '89 Grand Wagoneer - opens at $4,500 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160187113893 prices are purposely on the higher side... not so much with the panel, that price is about right, but on the '89 I put it a little bit higher because I'm not completely done with it and I don't have the title yet. If I get a bid I'll be out there putting the finishing touches on it and over at the previous owner's house with the paperwork. Nothing like an ebay sale to motivate you to get something done. :) If anyone on this list is interested in either be happy to talk... and provide more pictures. We'll see how this works out.. :) I doubt I'll get bids on either, which is just fine with me... I need to check my ebay inbox more often, I keep missing all these free listing offerings. :) john ----- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://freegift.com ** http://wagoneers.com ** - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- there's a solution for every problem; problem is can we afford the solution? - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 3 Dec 2007 09:05:50 -0600 From: Allen Zylstra Subject: RE: xj: popcorn event!

Greetings all; My son's xj is making that horrible transfer case chain grinding noise, and he would like to get it fixed. My question is, can anyone recommend a good trustworthy shop in the Seattle or Everett area which is where he lives/works? Or can anyone recommend a shop in the Spokane area which is where his jeep will be when he is deployed in 2 weeks.

I was told that Mosport didn't exist anymore... several Canadian friends in fact... told me it became a housing development... watching dream car garage they were at mosport with a bunch of porsches!!! so I goggled and found it... just like I left it in 1974. :) http://www.mosport.com/trackmap.htm we camped on turn 3. took my '68 mustang out on the track... :) in turn 5 (moss corner) my future brother in law mentioned that he thought I was going a bit fast (about 70mph) and, at that point, I learned that it's best to ignore passengers... but not this time, because I hit the brakes... just about in the apex... well, after the tires quit complaining and I got the 'stang straightened back out I was able to keep it on the pavement and make it back down the long straightway... it was a blast... we got there several days early so we had time to play. Not sure they'd let us out on the track today though... and if I am able to go back out on the track, I'm leaving the passengers behind... :) http://www.mosport.com/results70s.htm we attended these races: 1974 June 16 Labatt's Blue Can-Am Can-Am 50 laps, 122.950 miles Jackie Oliver, England Shadow DN4-Chevrolet 111.993 MPH June 16 Labatt's Blue Formula 5000 SCCA 40 laps, 98.360 miles David Hobbs, England Lola T330-Chevrolet 112.276 MPH john ----- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://freegift.com ** http://wagoneers.com ** - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- there's a solution for every problem; problem is can we afford the solution? - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ End of xj-digest V1 #2701 *************************
