Important

I've got the same issue with my gear box. Turn the wheel back and forth you can hear the box clunking and see the steering shaft turning about 1/4 inch before the clunk, and tires moving. Gets really noticeable on the trail. Everytime the rig rocks back and forth you can hear it clunking. I'll be swapping a ps pump soon so I may do that at the same time. Might as well.

Now I'm thinking that I have a leaky heater core. My pass floorboard is always wet and I'm constantly adding coolant. Gotta love my heep.

The thing has a radio in it..geezzzz, it is nicer then my first Heep! :D He could care less about his new motorcycle..it is all about the Jeep. Yeah, I have raised him right! :thumbup:

there has been a barbie jeep in front of the abondoned house across the street from me for close to a year now i have been thinking of grabing it late and night fixing it and painting it OD green for my son
 
Jeff, you possibly be making a trip through the U.P. this weekend? I would assume not, but thought I would pass word.
 
Put on my extra 2 MWC decals on the boys new Jeep, you would have thought he just won the lottery! He keeps pointing at them and then at my rig saying "Jeep COOOOL Dad!" When I went in to check on him a few minutes ago, he was fast asleep with a crinkled up FourWheeler mag. It was picture worthy. there is no doubt what this kid is into...wonder where he gets it??










Must be his mother :D

Pics or it didn't happen. lol. Do you need my g/f to come take pic's.
 
Rev you have batteries for the power wheels? You have my attention my daughter is all over my case to replace her batteries in her Jeep.

Poorboy87 do the lawnmower batteries cause an issue with the electrical? I have 2 Four-wheeler batteries from the four-wheeler I sold for cash for the wedding.

Lawnmower batteries are just not safe. Do they work? Yeah, they do.......... Ever seen pics of a little kid with acid burns? I have. Again, they need to be sealed batteries. It's not worth the risk.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]Don't even think about it, it's TOO dangerous! These types of batteries contain acid, and are unsealed. We all know kids and acid don't mix well. There is also the possibility of an explosion with unsealed acid batteries. Hydrogen gas can form above the battery and can be ignited by a spark (say by connecting a wire to the battery terminal). These batteries should never be used for kids ride on toys, there's just too much risk of injury.

Lawnmower/motorcycle batteries are intended to be used at high amperage rates for very short times, not discharged and recharged constantly. The SLA batteries you get from Gruber are made for this type of application, are just as cheap, much safer, and should give much better life/performance than lawnmower batteries.

It's likely to be several weeks to several months before I get back into da YooPee on anything besides a flying run.
 
So my four wheeler batteries would be great? They are totally sealed. I appreciate the heads up about acid burns or spillage from a mower battery. Thank You
