How does one tell unstained steel from stain-less steel? :shrug: :gr_grin:

Bob

I work at a hardware store with all different finished steels from brushed steel to aluminum to brass to oil rubbed bronze when steel has that amber color its usually stainless and true stainless steel is only slightly magnetic a good magnet wont slap onto it but you will feel a little pull

New underhood battery, got a matching one for either under the rear seat with a quick disconnect(in case I need to fold seat down) , or between the box and seat back. Maybe I'll set it up with 2 disconnects so I can move it if need be.

Should have the box finished and covered by the weekend, and as soon as they get here I'll be swapping the 926/947's for some 927/948's and new bilstein 5100 rear

I figured thats why as a good joke i figured why not take it a step further and answer seriously :happy175: explain the reasoning. i hope you would know theres no definitive way to tell without touching it. Shit you probably had cars older than me at some point. No offense by that but im only 25. You have knowledge far beyond me. I respect that your able to joke with a young guy like myself. Keep up the good humor. One good laugh is worth ten bad days in my book.

My first car was a month older than me 1985 Bronco II 2.8L carb'd v6 auto, made in August of 84 and I was born in September of 84. I kept that rig longer than anything I've ever had and if I could do it over again I'd rather slam my d**k in a sliding glass door than sell it. The damn thing fell off the jackstands onto me one day and almost killed me. I took all the safety precautions and it was just a freak accident and asphalt sinking just enough.

I just finished the efi 5.0(347) swap while converting from auto to manual, SAS swap with an EB d44, and an Explorer 8.8 swap out back. I literary got everything back together, checked for leaks, did a quick l tune via laptop and drove to the store and back to get gas . The next morning I checked fluids, grabbed my laptop, and we drove 375 miles. I had the tune dialed in before we made it to Atlanta, and the only issue we had was the top 2 bellhousing bolts backed out a little and it started vibrating. It was a tight fit, but after letting the rig cool off, my wife put her tiny hands to work and tightened them up. I'd never do that again in a rig without any seat time. Every rock and bump is an "oh shit wtf was that moment" and very stressful.

Believe it or not those are 315's which measured out bigger than some 35's. Shouldn't have sold her. My first love was an older woman...

Apparently this is english class and maybe i do type like i drive as fast as i can and fk whats behind me i am doing this on a phone if i was using one of those old timy computer things with those click keyborads i put out over 80 words per minute with punctuation because there is a special button for that unlike this i just got letters unless i pull up a punctuation keyboard which is a waste of time because this is a forum for jeeps not english lessons

Heres all the periods i missed ........:happy175:

You mean you don't have to use period's, comma's etc if you use your phone?
I thought good punctuation was always needed

No joke Bob. Tom is a moderator. If he wants me to use punctuation. All I can do is try. I respect the forum and the community. I do not want to step on toes here. A lot of good people trying to help out. I myself being someone who needs the help.

Just called to have it towed to the shop, she got me home but the water pump blew somewhere on the way home. Nothing like popping the hood and seeing Coolant fly every where, shut the engine off and just watch it pour out of the water pump at the bottom.
