Taking home a KraZ 214b - need some help finding front axle shafts

[Skull Crusher]

Hi Ahab, my good friend! Me and my wife want to thank you and your wife for being at our side, even being so far away phisycaly! I hope we can meet some day! I'm working hard without losing the faith and I know things will get better as you said. About Olympics, I think that my country should care about internal problems that are unsolved like poverty, lack of education, corruption, economy first instead of spending so much money on the games.I think that I should have been born in another country cause my way of thinking is so much different from the regular Brazilian people. For me, it's a lot easier to talk and keep friendship with you and many others people who have more conscience about how a honest life must be lived and enjoyed. People here seems always to take some advantage in everything they are into and I don't like that. Lets celebrate our friendship, honest life and comrader !

Greed, sad to say, is the readiest explanation for near everything when people are involved, and I'm with you on the Olympics (so maybe we think alike some, you and me):

- It would make sense to park the Olympics in one spot and not go reinventing the wheel every 4 years for new venues.

- Greece would make sense for that spot wouldn't it (being home to the original Olympics).

- And the Flags should all go (pull the nationalism out of it) and make it about sport and the athletes.

- And the medals could go, too (make it an olive wreath again).

But don't hold your breath, because there's WAY too much money behind it all for anybody to want to let go. Look for the Greed, and it usually explains most of everything.

You think?

Hi Wrench!

First of all, thank you so much for the good words! I am really luck in having people like you and Ahab that are caring about me and my family!
About selling the Kraz, let's see what will happen, may be things get better around here and I can keep the truck, only God knows.
What about you, how things are going to you? And your truck, what's made of it?

A big hug to you!

All we can do is keep the faith in the almighty! I sure wish you and your family well! I also hope things work out that you can keep your Kraz! Things are going a little better for me because I work for a oil field company with the low price for oil it was tight they cut our hours they had to you know their pay was cut too; The price is up some so we can get some hours. As for the truck the last week I have had a serge in getting stuff done. I had a bracket I was building kick my butt for a while for placement and building but once I crossed that hurtle I have done more I still have a ways to go.

It's good to hear from you

Hi Buds!

I really appreciate all the fellowship and good words and I hope things will get better around here as soon as possible.
For now I would like to post here some videos I have made of the Kraz running but I tried to do it here and no avail. Is it to much asking you to send me a e-mail and then I send those videos to you in order to post them over here? Can you help me? My e-mail is renanlaurenti@yahoo.com.br

Everything at this end is pretty good, except it sure is HOT.

But it is Summer, and it is August; so that's no real surprise at all I guess.

Do you have a shot of the Jeep (CJ?) that you could maybe post?

Hi Buddies!

I hope everything is going fine with you! Sorry about how II've posted those pics.... it's really a pain in the ads doing that by a mobile phone. I promise I'll get better!

Miss you all! Send me some news from you!

 

[Another Ahab]

Are you calling that beast a "jeep"!?

That is a jeep on steroids if it is! V-8? And the breather on that thing!? Nice!

 

[Skull Crusher]

Hi Dudes!

Yeah, a Jeep, a very motivated Jeep indeed!

How are things going for both of you? Tell me the news!

 

[wrenchturner6238]

Hey, Crusher; just got both our daughters all settled back into their University (a fourth year and a first year; both at the same school), and so getting our first taste of "empty nesting".

Hey Ahab!
