Haha wow!
Posted this in the "Roll Call" thread to introduce myself a few days ago. I'm thinking that wasn't the right spot for this group so I'm trying here :wave1:
New owner to the Jeep/XJ community. Longtime member of several other online forums so I am versed on the wealth of knowledge that exists here. Any members or indy mechanics in the D/FW metroplex (or TX in general) that could help me diagnose a front end wandering issue? I'm sure it will be asked but YES I've searched the forums and replaced EVERY single component and checked all angle settings including 2 steering boxes and this thing still has a 1-2" back and forth play in the steering wheel. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Shoot me a PM or let me know the next time you guys have a meet and greet - Thanks
Still need to put my transfer case back together and slap it in.
Also looking to trade off my Suburban for something fun now.
Everyone doing ok from the storm? Houston stayed pretty dry, not sure if we've got anyone in Beaumont or west LA
We just drove through there yesterday, a lot of blue tarps.The usual phrase is we dodged a bullet. Laura was not a forking Bullet, LOL. More like sea of nukes on steroids.
In the end it was a non event here. Between Hobby airport and Pasadena.
Beaumont and Port Arthur got lucky to some extent from what I am hearing so far.
Lake Charles is a disaster area. Picture 145 MPH winds in Downtown Houston, Compared to Ike with only 90 MPH in 2008. The chemical plant complex is on fire with Fumes/Chlorine gas reaching I-10 Bridge in Lake Charles and they had to close it. I-10 closed at the Bridge in Lake Charles
They have no way to fight the fires, no power, no water pressure(?). Need power to run fuel pumps, and City water pumps.
145 MPH is 256 times more damage than 70 mph
I just saw a video of a flattened House in Orange, near the coast line(?)
My buddy works over that side of the metroplex, we have been talking about checking it out once he throws an engine at this xj he just picked up. It looks decent, or atleast worth going to once or twice.
ahh my old stomping grounds, doesn't look like much has changed. glad to see the chapter didn't get disbanded.
