Re: Expensive lessons learned from my 4x4 build

I guess this is where the saying 'buy once-cry once" comes from?

I work on a military installation. We have a LOT of old military vehicles strewn about the place, including dozens of non-running CUCV's. Every now and then we are tasked with cleaning up the place and taking it to the DRMO yard. The part that sucks about that is everything that goes in the yard becomes property of the recycling contractor and it is against the law for them to resale anything-it must go in the crusher.

Recently, there was a pile of CUCV (blazers & K30's) frames that took the one way trip. It almost brought tears to my eyes watching then Dana 60's and 14 bolts slip into the black hole.
