I knew of that hitch, going red on Friday.

Officially employed by the states of Wisconsin and Indiana... I hate to milk everyone's tax money so I'll try to have gainful employment to keep from suckling the unemployment teet.

I have no issue with you using it. It's the low life's that spend as much of their working lives on it that bothers me.:cheers:

Going to be getting the cherokee out of storage today and get it back up and running. Been too long...

Drivers side axle ujoint is in. Tried to do the pass side last night and torched a 2' 1/2" breaker bar, 3' snapon 1/2" 80tooth ratchet, one of my screw drivers is now at a 90* angle, and one of my cheaters is in nearly a U shape. And to top it off the axle nut is still attached to the jeep.

I don't even bother taking the bearing unit off before I change the axle ujoints. I've never been able to get that nut off with hand tools.

I just pull the whole axle with the bearing unit still on and put it in a vice to pound out the joints and change them.

FINALLY! Steve has posted a very useful post!

Gotchur junk runnin' yet, er no?

If I'm just changing a joint I don't pull that nut off. I've never had one not come off with hand tools though.

Where hand tools = 20" breaker bar and a socket. Only had to use a big cheater pipe once, and only had to use heat once, and only broken a 1/2 drive extension once. All on the same damn axle nut.

Fingers crossed.

I hate that 'almost' complete feeling.

Double check everything, then turn the key.

When I did the drivetrain swap on the 97 I had everything finished up and ready to go. I was so scared that it went so well that I stared at the damn thing for an hour or so trying to find something I did wrong. She fired right up without a problem. :cheers:

I'm the same way. I almost dread it.

I keep thinking that the turd is going to go up like a roman candle the minute I touch the battery cables to the battery! :scared:

Check check and then double check!

I promise that I'll have the video camera on when I try, just in case it's spectacular!

Details as they arise....

I know it's from 2009, but this is retarded.

"After all, God decides when the wind blows, not Chuck Grassley,"


tax dollars at work. it makes sense if you take logic out of what you think.

 

[seanR]

Those are the same people that move into a house next to a rock quarry and then complain to the county that the dust and noise are bothering them.

I live directly under the approach to a local muni airport.

I LOVE seeing the planes (mostly single engine experimentals, duals, dual turbos) fly overhead constantly on weekends and evenings in the summer. Makes me want to add a plane to the list of vehicles.

I can't understand people who buy a property with known preexisting conditions like that and then scream about them after.

 

[ChiXJeff]

Or downwind from a pig farm. Idiots.

Ken, my brother's house north of Battle Creek, MI is under one of the major approaches to the airport, which also use by the MI Air National Guard. Kind of a kick to see a flight A-10s directly overhead.
