There is a guy here who has two of the wagoneers, both in perfect shape. man i would love to get my hands on one of them. I built this little 68 cj5 years ago, before i adopted my grandkids. I had to get a bigger truck lol. It had the Buick Odd Fire V6, and i added lockers in the front and rear end so all four wheels had traction. 4" lift and 35" monster mudder tires./ This little sucker was bad ass!!!! I even painted it lol. -

many air soft guns are exact fits but you need to measure them to make sure. -

I've lengthened plain belts with this method, but not belts with names centered in the back. Won't this throw that off a bit, or does it matter? You did a great job of itt!!- 12 replies

oh yeah, the Dixon club bar on a Saturday night would test your endurance for sure lol. It's very cool I love the look, color, and excellent work but probably not something you could wear here without some feedback.

Its a suburban lol Its my nickname for this thing I drive out in the boonies (offroad). There is still plenty of nowhere out here to get lost, stuck, or broke down in. 6" lift, 37"deep lug tires, 10,000 lb winch gets me through the shit and back home. i would look great driving her to elk camp with that red hat of yours, which is really cool btw, but i doubt i would make it out of the Dixon Bar safe with it on LOL. -
Don't order your rabbit food from Amazon, it's a scam. The other day I put in an order and almost as soon as I got it, they sent me an email wanting my feedback.

just the right size for two !! Dang that looks good. All ive been cooking is mud lol, but that is kinda fun too. I've been wrenchin on the Burb, getting it ready for the hunt and winter. It was missing and running like crap so i decided to give her a tune-up. The plugs were pretty worn so i replaced them but he darn distributor cap i dont think was ever replaced lol. The rotor button was completely worn down and the terminals had big gobs of carbon burnt to them. So i figured it solved the problem, it ran better but still was not right so i rebuilt the throttle body next and found a vacuum port completely plugged with mud and someone had tried to set the idle by drilling out the idle screw, which is factory sealed, that throws off the ECM which controls air gas mix and was the biggest problem with the way she ran and the hardest to find as that shouldnt happen. Adjusted that back to the original reset the downshift cable which was also set to short and not allowing full throtle or proper shifting. I also threw on a new muffler, when i cut it off i found the one on it was to small it had just been shoved inside the exhaust pipe and welded on 2 1/2" muffler on a 3" exhaust so it had too much back pressure. Damn thing runs like new now. My son bought this thing used then traded it to us It was running well then, or so i thought, so i just drove it for a few years lol. Now for the hard stuff, My daughter gave us another burb, same year so I'm switching out the radiator supports, then fixing the other burb for my son to drive as well as having an unlifted unmodded truck for the road and town driving. The days are getting short and the mornings brisk It won't be long until snow flies here. Take care my friend!! Chuck -
Those are friggin awesome lol. My oldest daughter just bought a pair, no spikes but as tall and covered in chains, she would wear those for sure.

I make wine every year, and have done so for most of my life. It's a great hobby if you like wine. We make ours from wild Chokecherries and Service Berrries that we pick, sometimes apples, and grapes. I've even made wine from our canned jellies that we had after quitting sugary food. The absolute most important part is your yeast selection, and clean equipment. Good luck and have fun with it!!

English bridle tooled belt

That is a nice-looking belt, worth the effort for sure. -
His point is that Flea markets don't work and may be a waste of your time if you are trying to make a living doing this. Check out the vendor parking lot for Lamberginis lol. But here's the deal, there are literally MIllions of things you can make with leather, and millions of people from hundreds of countries so no one here can tell you how to be successful selling your stuff. It has to be top quality or at least look better than something you can buy at Walmart. You have to be a salesman and a living example of what you peddle, showing pride in yourself and your product or people will not even look at your stuff. The best place to start is by walking a few flea markets in your area, hang around , see what sells, ask vendors what is selling. Get a feel of what it is you are attempting to do. Don't ask us if it's worth it, ask the vendors at the flea markets. If they are all new vendors, why aren't there any old vendors? There may be no money to keep vendors coming back so location may affect your outcome even with a good product.!! I live in Wyoming, have never been to Florida, and haven't the foggiest idea what anyone would buy at a flea market in Florida, but it probably wouldn't be my Elk hunting gear. My guess is going to be sandals, flip flops and such. maybe straps to hold your sunglasses or sunscreen lotion, card wallets for your swimsuits. Whatever it is make it look good so if you're a beginner, then make it very simple until you gain the experience to expand your leather work to more complicated and pricier stuff.. Good luck to you my friend!!!!!! Oh, just food for thought, a leather card wallet with a stamped image of a bug at the Ugly Bug Fly Shop in Casper, Wyoming, sells for 79 dollars; they won't sell for 10 at a flea market.

Is this Leather Hide Normal Grade A or Bad?
chuck123wapati replied to fernwehleather's topic in Suppliers
Trash!! looks like someone rolled it up backwards a few dozen times. Yea I had a similar problem. You know what, i didn't call them out until I called them back and was given a sorry, ship it back on your dime, and we will re-sell it to some other shmuck conversation. Those middleman suppliers need to learn to send the crap back to the tanners when they receive it, not pass it on. However, so many folks now just don't know what 'good' leather is supposed to look like that they take the easy way out.
