Hello from Jersey Mafia

[qbenplaya00]

Hello everyone. name Fern. im from Jersey. the part of Jersey where Mafia dump their bodies not the part where they live. and NO its not like Jersey Shore... (only in the summer ) and it more like Sopranos anyway... here is my 02 6cyl. plain-Jane Envoy, Arctic White ?

i picked this up for 2,500.oo .... with 109k miles and all maintenance done about a month ago missing small things... as seen in the pictures





here are some stuff thats missing... any one has info where to get them. much appreciated.

little trim that seals the bumper and body im pointing at the place where it should be it in the picture


this was falling off i put it back with a little glue... but other said doesnt even have it


other side?



these dont light up..


now Trunk area has a few stuff that i need to get to complete.






my wifes little cousin took this apart from me and lost the trim holding up the switch.


what goes under the rear seats? i guess jack?




need both sides... but this one is worst of 2


well. hope some one on here can help me on the pieces missing instead of going to the dealer or a junkyard.
thanks for viewing. im a picture whore so i might add more later when weather clears up here in muggy Jersey.

so i have been looking for a mid-sized suv 4x4. and though word of mouth NOT craig'slist... i know can you believe it ..... a good friend of mine had a neighbor selling her suv. since my wifes car is about to kick the can...
we spoke about a few days and i got an awesome deal on the car:
2002
GMC Envoy SLE
4x4
109k
all maintenance done at dealership just recently serviced and oil changed.
2,500.oo

Story doesn't end here,
i had told her that i was into classic cars in one of our conversations, so she thought it would be nice to include, for no extra charge, a.....

1964 AMC Rambler Classic Typhoon

so with the same envoy she sold me. i went to dmv then went to local parts store. picked up tune up kit/ oil filter/ oil/ inline gas filter/ starter fuild.... ... went home picked up my dolly then went back to her house and picked up this beauty!




1964
AMC
Rambler Classic
Typhoon
98k
running and driving

charging old batt up.



while that was happening i gave it a tune up and changed oil.



after all those years sitting... DARN thing started right up!


so as i was driving it up.... i forgot... [SIZE="5"]NO BRAKES!!!![/SIZE]:oops:




with help from its original jack and original spear rim i was able to jack front of car high enough to then move the tuck forward a little


Ahhh much better.




and one last shot before it got dark



heres a little background (in a nut shell).

The two-door hardtop Typhoon is spacious. The black interior has bucket seats and plenty of room in the back. The only color it came in was “solar yellow” with a black top — a sport variety of Rambler’s Classic 770.

It was a commemorative model for American Motors, and the company only produced 2,520 Typhoons in 1964 — the lone year it was made.

The main differences between the Classic 770 and the Typhoon were the color, the script nameplate on the Typhoon and its unique grille and black accents. It also highlighted what was then AMC’s new short-stroke, inline 6-cylinder engine that put out 145 horsepower.

Fern, are you interested in off-roading at all? I see no mention of that in your posts.

If not - GMTnation might be a good hang-out for you!

JamesDowning yes some what. its not my first 4x4 nor on the trails... ive had loads of "off roading" vehicles in the past but since this is for my 8 month old daughter for now i cannot take it to the level you are talking about. but i would do some light stuff with slight lift (wifes 5-foot-nothing) so i cannot lift too much. but wanted some upgrades done...

but thanks for the advice. i already joined trailvoy i dont really want to join another forum.

GMTnation is the new trailvoy. Everyone who ran trailvoy went over to that site

[qbenplaya00]

so im getting the sense that i am not wanted here since i am not looking to lift kit or put bigger tires or go off the pavement so.. my account can be deleted if this is the case. i figured you guys would know more then other forums on mechanics of this which i am more interested in. and i did eventually want some sort of upgrade to my envoy but its cool. this isnt a welcome at all. thanks anyway.

Little sensitive huh? This is an Offroad forum...hence the name. To get upset because someone points you in the direction of your interests seems kind of childish.

Wow!
This is why James was pointing you towards GMTNation. All the most knowledgable on the platform frequent both sites. If you keep browsing offroadtb, then your eventually going to talk yourself into getting into "Offroad Mode". So if your goal is to learn more about the platform without an offroading goal, GMTNation is your best bet as alot of our discussions are about lift kits, sliders, big tires, wheel spacers, highlifts, balljoint angles, strut lengths, CV shaft angles, etc. All of which do not apply to a lowrider.
No one here will tell you that you cant frequent this forum and take part in our convos, however we just think you'd be better suited at the other place. BUT if you decide you want to go against the grain of social standards, then come over here and get up on some M/Ts.
"And that's all I have to say about that"

[qbenplaya00]

ya you guys are right. i didn't know that my I.Q. was that low that i didn't understand the title of this forum. but thanks for clearing that up for me. i figured when it said "off road" it really meant "on road."

ya i got that there was some one here trying to point me on the right direction in where he thought i "should" go since... (stupid me)... i didn't mention anything in my first post that i wanted to go "off roading" Duh i should have said something like "I joined this forum in hopes to learn more about off roading and learn from you guys how to off road" then maybe i wouldn't have been sent some where else. but hey that's why you guys came along and help me find the right path. ...... "maybe you should try a different forum." that seemed to be the main advice.

any who i will stick around a little longer. since i AM into off roading


and ive been off raoding since i was 10 with my father




and that only what i have on pb. just so you guys can see i DO go off the road.

just thought i might have well started off this thread with this post... maybe you guys would have hated me for posting non trail/voy vehicles....


anyway. anyone care to welcome me in a non non-welcoming way..

[DirtyBacon04]

[bartonmd]

IMO, you're the one that made a big melodramatic deal out of a 'not a big deal' helpful comment. There have been several people from Trailvoy who have come over here, thinking here's where everybody went. We told them about GMTN, and they thanked us for telling them where the old Trailvoy crew went, and they were on their way (or stayed)... Calm down, dude...

You're acting like quite the pantywaste. Get over yourself.

Sit down, remove the sand from your vagina, grab a beer and enjoy your stay. We're not exactly "nice" here but we're a fun crowd.

Welcome.

[boog2006]

I love this forum!

[DirtyBacon04]

Yea, everyone gets picked on. Fish for being a leadfoot, Nick for being young and dumb, SaltWaterDrinker for mistaking his TB for an airboat, Me for going out solo and getting stuck, and Roadie for...... well we make fun of roadie for being old.
It's a thick skin community, but a fun one!!

[Flying Monkey]

Obviously not a place for the "Mafia" guy

[qbenplaya00]

guys... i went outside. had a black&mild. changed my tampon and im back...

i want to officially apologies to everyone. i know now it was all in good intentions. i will take the advice open heartily and sign up.

for the record i do want to lift my Envoy. (since i personally think a white envoy stock is the girl version of the trailblazer.

like i said before i will stick around bec you guys have one of the best sites ive seen for this vehicle and your tech threads are pretty good. and lets face it... a lifted trail/voy is better then a lowered/stock one.

thanks for the awake-up style welcome to here. it was fun.

all the smart guys left trailvoy for GMTNation. All the REALLY REALLY smart guys (who like to get dirty) came here
