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 :lol: anyway... here is my 02 6cyl. plain-Jane Envoy, Arctic White ? :scratch:

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 :wallbash:

other side? :scratch:

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.

 

[qbenplaya00]

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 :mrgreen: ..... 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... NO BRAKES!!!!: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.

Welcome, and nice rides. I love the rambler, I once had a 1964 Rambler Amerian 220.

Welcome

 

[BOOMERZ]

Is it me or does the drivers side door / door molding look a bit off , maybe the door was hit or replaced ?

 

[Mark20]

Ah, an engine compartment with room to work. What a concept. And what's that round thing with all the wires by the oil filter (only kidding, just haven't seen one in a while).

 

[ItsOnVoy]

these dont light up..

The lights inside are burnt out! You can replace the whole thing or if you want open that one up and throw some LED's in there

what goes under the rear seats? i guess jack?

You get tools to help remove the tires if you ever get a flat. No jack!

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

These are with turn signals and heated

Or you can do both and it will be chaper

Or if you do not want turn signal

Quite a bit you can find on eBay with those! Hope this helps! I helped with what I can

Really? Do I have a jack and just no know about it or maybe I do not have one...I am going to need to check next time I am by the truck then

Well I just checked and wow I do have one! I did not even see that there before Sorry for the wrong info on that one man. Thanks Bill for pointing that out to me also

 

[qbenplaya00]

me no have anything! nor a spare! so i am going to have to start from scratch... plus i think those little jacks are dinky anyway.. i like old timer ones that cracked the vehicle up about 6 ft but thanks for the info on the things that are supposed to be there... if i do ever get a flat i wont be able to do anything since all that was taken out...

im planning on making my own roof rack so i will include a holder for a hi-jack and tire iron. so not to worried about the little one. but its always nice to have original equipment with your cars....

i dont have the owners manual either... JEEZ!

Wow!!! Now heres the real question, for that price, was this a salvage title?

Also I think there are quite a few people on here that removed there roof racks, you can try the classifieds and see how much they charge for them! I am looking to remove mine in the next month or two

In case you haven't heard:

ya i heard. i read up already... sucks tho that its like that but its more common then people think. i had same thing happen in another forum i was apart of.

Is it me or does the drivers side door / door molding look a bit off , maybe the door was hit or replaced ?

idk hope not havent done a carfax yet on it tho. but pieces missing lead me to believe that maybe yes.

thanks man. i saved links already when i get mula i will start buying.. integrated turn signals.
i like the led swap idea you gave me. i might have to look into that since i am already going in there might as well.
ya i have no tools/jack/ nothing not even a spare...


thanks for the info guys.

sadly i joined trailvoy first not knowing ... then found out about you guys when i joined tboffroad.

 

[Wyle]

i dont have the owners manual either... JEEZ!

The OS has owners manuals and Mooseman has service manuals (not sure if he has Envoy specific).

no title is good. i am going to have to buy a one timer on carfax... but heres the thing with that... its only if you report it will it go on.. if this was a hit and the PO fixed it him/her self then it wont be on there.... so not 100%

ya but not the original roof racks.. i was talking more like the "safari roof racks" like a basket with lights mounted on them and a nice hi-jack and shovel attached. (always liked the "off road/ recovery" look) last 2 i built so i will make one for my envoy. :wootwoot:

hey guys heres a question... (havent looked into it yet.) anyone know off the top of there heads whats my gearing in my rear and is it posi?

Yeah we got some people on here with lifted envoys and that off roading look your talking about (the roadie, Regulator as an example)

 

[Voymom]

Most of the trim inside of the truck can be super glued back on, however if the truck is a prior I would suggest getting your frame looked at. I looked at an 04 Envoy that was a prior salvage and she was a bit shook up. The inside trim was coming off the body and no matter what was done it just would not go back into place, lots of wind noise on the driver side even without the slightest breeze. The rear passenger seat belt was torn or cut from the accident, and this man claimed all that was done or "hurt" was the rear driver side door.

I liked the truck as it was very decently priced, less than 100k miles and newer (04)...but it wasn't what I was looking for options wise, and I was concerned it had more issues then what the guy was telling me it had. I just couldn't see putting my children in that truck...so we walked away from it. We ended up truck shopping for a good month or two and I finally found Phantom....and I feel so much better knowing that I walked from the first one.

Now i'm not saying this is your scenario, but just beware. There is a law that is supposed to keep sellers from holding damage information back from buyers....but they do it anyways and find loopholes to get around most legal actions. I knew the first 'Voy I looked at had way more issues then they claimed...and with 6 children I couldn't take the risk.

Other than that congrats on your rides, they both look really nice!

 

[smitty5150]

Welcome from south jersey. Nice deal you got, there. I like the classic as well. Looks like a lot of nickel and dime stuff. Plenty of these showing up in junk yards these days....should he cheap fixes.

 

[qbenplaya00]

...Other than that congrats on your rides, they both look really nice!

thanks. i didnt really get into details with the envoy since i trusted the seller. she is a friend of the family of my good friend ... if you cough all that. plus MY friend had driven it for a while as well and she had her son in there from 10 months to about 2yrs old and nothing really happened... but i still want to check it out. you neva no.

whats up Jersian. i have a trailer down in Atlantic county we can prob meet up one day on a weekend. and junkyards up here aren't really crawling yet with these vehicles. so i will stick it out until i see one. figured i could buy it off a fellow member here to keep it in the family.

Pantywas... oh wait this is GMTN.

Hi.

 

[The_Roadie]

... anyone know off the top of there heads whats my gearing in my rear and is it posi?

Only your glove box sticker can tell you unless you run a functional test. G80 is the locker, and gear ratios are GU6 = 3.42, GT4 = 3.73 & GT5 = 4.10

going outside now to look at glovebox... and does this include the front as well?

 

[djthumper]

He has already been to ORTB, he has met the dark side.

They will be the same gearing.

 

[Regulator]

Hiya, Welcome to the Nation.

Always nice to see another Envoy ready to get dirty!

 

[The_Roadie]

. and does this include the front as well?

There were a few vehicles built with different gear ratios on the front and rear differentials as an engineering experiment. Sadly, the engineers forgot an important rule of drivetrain design.

[navigator]

if you have a non EXT, non V8 then you have the GM 8.0 rear.
The EXT and V8 had the 8.6.

 

[The_Roadie]

. found out the its a GU6... now is it an open diff right?

I answered you on the other site (ORTB) you asked this on. No need to ask both places. It's mostly the same volunteers. But for the benefit of non-offroaders who don't go there: The G80 RPO code for the locker is separate from the gear ratio RPO code. If you don't have it, it's an open diff.

which rear end?
7.5
7.625
8.2
8.2B or P Axle
8.2
8.5
8.652
8.5 "O" Axle
8.875 Truck
9.3 "C" Axle
8.8 "C" Axle

SWB I6? None of the above. 8.0"

 

[qbenplaya00]

so i spent the whole day with a friend of mine and his 300zx.

its a 91 300zx n/a 5speed.
thing is fast... but i mean FAST. not bad for an n/a... we did an oil change and coolant flush. painted original rims black and took off bbs it had on it. we also installed some Tenzo R race seats... and some projector head lights.

fab'ing up some braces.

ready to go. need to install 4 or 5 point harness next.

 

[qbenplaya00]

so guys just found out this car was stolen at one point. .... thats why there nothing in the car. supposedly some gang-bangers broke into the truck and the truck was involved in transporting kilos of cocaine some weed..... :wootwoot: so baiscly everything that is missing is were they put all the drugs.. and 3 hand guys were in the vehicle when it was stopped. i actually saw the police report that the lady had in the house...


now heres my thing... do you think she should have told me something about this when she was telling me the "history" of the car? or even upon purchase?

either way still crazy.

 

[Black_tb]

welcome to the site, and that news is crazy i dont know if she has to tell you but it would have been nice to know before hand

I would get some kind of paperwork that the truck was used for this and if you ever get pulled over and K-9 unit alerts to any residue, you can explain it with written proof rather than sitting in jail and hoping they believe your story.

I bought and sold a car. The girl I sold it to was at high school and her car was selected for a random drug search. The dog alerted and the some weed residue was found in the hatch area. Her dad tried to blame it on me, but I know for a fact I never had anything in there, but the guy I bought it from....Well it would not surprise me.

I would get something that notes that and also let the insurance company know so that they can have record of it also!! That way your in the clear and not in a jail cell!!

 

[qbenplaya00]

not a bad idea. i already got the police report of the case and all. i had thought of that but didnt think of carrying the paper work with me incase. but now i will. sucks about that girl .

 

[qbenplaya00]

im going to start to paint the trimming. i wanted a black and white car... any tips on how to go about this.....

grill
side door molding
etc..
