Drove down to Centralia today to drop off the WJ seats for my J10... noticed that my friend had a container of what we'd been talking about! AirCraft Remover... see pix at: http://wagoneers.com/DieselBenz/190D Also, a shot of the leaking injector... ordered new ones... they only had one in stock, so I'm waiting again for parts... spent $32 filling up the WJ... sheesh... need that Benz up and running already. :) john - ------------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.WAGONEERS.com/ Snohomish, WA - where Jeeps don't rust, they mold... jesus, don't leave life without him, please! - ------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 15 Mar 2003 22:12:20 -0800 From: john Subject: SuperDawg update Just picked up a set of '99 WJ seats for it when I was up in BC dropping off the J10 Stepside fenders to be replicated in fiberglass. FWIW, SuperDawg is an '83 J10 Stepside that's getting a '96 XJ 4.0L/Aisin Warner tranny, an 80-82 NP219 xfr case, and so on... It'll probably be the only '83 J10 Stepside in the world with an extended cab and an airbag... ;) The WJ seats came out of '99 GC Ltd... they're leather, heated and have the power lumbar... surprisingly they didn't sustain damage in the accident... the yard said the thing sat for a long time, indicating that there was a fatality involved... there were beer bottles on the floor of the back seat, and the roof pillar had been cut... the seats smelled of river... they were pretty wet from sitting out. Pretty sure they'll be ok in spite of the exposure. Here's the WJ: http://www.wagoneers.com/SuperDawg/DawgYear2003/the-donor-wj.jpg http://www.wagoneers.com/SuperDawg/DawgYear2003/donor-wj-2.jpg The seats seems to match the color scheme:(the metal piece is the sample color, the J10 cab is behind it with that ugly copper brown metallic color) http://www.wagoneers.com/SuperDawg/DawgYear2003/wj-seats-color-1.jpg http://www.wagoneers.com/SuperDawg/DawgYear2003 http://www.wagoneers.com/SuperDawg/ later, john - ------------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.WAGONEERS.com/ Snohomish, WA - where Jeeps don't rust, they mold... jesus, don't leave life without him, please! - ------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 16 Mar 2003 06:33:03 -0500 From: Michael Frank Subject: Re: injectors and aircraft remover...
