I'll bet some thought nasty thoughts when they saw the title of this thread. lol

These are pictures of wood piles that Beetle-Kill has. I just posted them for him.

 

[Beetle-Kill]

Cool, thanks Dennis. I thought she sent different photos, kinda had me worried for a sec. %-P As of now, the row is almost full, from the partial stack in the pic. to the bigger stack.

 

[Danno77]

BK, What are you burning that in? I can't remember what you have, but some of those rounds and splits look pretty big.

Nice piles, BTW, I love seeing pics of stacked wood

 

[Beetle-Kill]

Hey Danno, new BKK going in as soon as the new hearth is finished. The stacks aint purty, but they haven't fallen over yet ;-)

 

[Jack Straw]

The wood is nice, but get a better picture of the jeep. What model/year?

 

[Beetle-Kill]

last one of a long line- '73 CJ-6. Spring over w/ scout D-44's. has a minor wiring issue, but should be back in shape prior to hunting season.

Sav you and Beetle-Kill going in business together? Beetle-Kill nice stacks of wood.

[Backwoods Savage]

Zap, we can't go into business together just yet. Beetle-Kill still uses the t-posts for his ends. Guess I'll have to head out there to teach him. lol

 

[Beetle-Kill]

Aw shucks Sav, T-posts aren't that bad ;-) Plus it's way too much fun watching my wife try and drive 'em in with a sledgehammer.

 

[Backwoods Savage]

Oh yikes! That is an awful way to drive t-posts. A post driver is the only way to go with those things. Still, watching the wife might be interesting!

 

[Beetle-Kill]

It was too funny. She had a step ladder set up, post in one hand and sledge in the other. Tink, Tink, tink..hit a rock. More tinking, then a rest. looks at me with a "Phew!" look on her face. More tinking. After a bit, I said " Hey, use that thing." she goes "What thing?" - I said- ...wait for it.... that T-post driver under the ladder! I was in the doghouse for a while, but well worth it.

A CJ-6? I rebuilt a 74 CJ-5 which is what that looks like. I didn't know that they made a 6.

What's wrong with t-bars to hold up the row ends? I've been considering using T-bars instead of the criss crossed ends. Only negative I can see is that the covering won't go down that side.

 

[Beetle-Kill]

Highbeam, I think they stopped making the 6 in '75. it's a 20" longer wheelbase than a 5. Have you ever seen "Hatari" w/ John Wayne? The long W/B chase vehicles were pre-73 CJ6's. I'll not bore you with spec.'s, but off-road, that extra 20" will make you a convert to the longer W/B.

Isn't anything wrong with it. My own experience has lead me to have a PAIR of them on each end. when stacked all nice and full they stay fairly well, but when I get to one end or the other the aren't very stable. I get them for free from my parent's farm, though, so if I had to pay for them I might not use two at each end (not that they are all that expensive)

 

[Highbeam]

I am familiar with the CJ8 scramblers though. And of course the CJ7s that began in the later 70s. I really really learned to dislike the short whellbase CJ5 in the snow. That bugger would spin around easy!

75 cj5 here. Got a 72 Jeepster Commando 232 in it. The original motor is in the shed. Jeeps are cool.

 

[Beetle-Kill]

Ponyboync- 232? Must be an I-6, correct? I love Commandos, especially w/ the 231 V-6, & T-400. Our accountant has a commando, she considers it her 3rd. child. Probably likes it more than #'s 1 and 2. Highbeam, the "6" has the same w/b as the CJ-8, 104". I just sold an '82 Scrambler, so the "6" is my last one, until I find a CJ-2A, or 3A. Or a decent Toy. FJ-40, post '77, or a ........I'm stupid.

It's just a hangup of mine. Why use good fence posts when they are not needed? Just learn how to build a strong stack of wood and you won't be driving posts. I do agree on the covering of the ends; hard to do with a fence post in your way.

Here's how we do it. These stacks won't fall over.

Yes sir, the 232 is a straight 6. Tough motors. Easy and fun to work on.
