Got all the lights working in the jeep so I took it over to the shop I work at to do the oil pan gasket

Got the pan resealed and back up to find a XXXXing pin hole in the side of the pan near the top that had a steady drip... I cleaned it and quick steeled it due to having no desire to changing the pan. Seemed good but now its XXXXing leaking from the front right corner.. So Pissed! Its going to need a motor soon anyway so its going to keep leaking...


Drove all over the place in the jeep yesterday too it feels good to be back in a jeep!

That doesnt sound like much fun at all

I pumped them full of grease. Literally.

I kept going until it was dumping out of the sides.

Then they stopped squeaking.

Not at all actually pissed at myself for not plating the rail more

Im going to bring it to work this week and load them with grease with the air grease gun we use on the Kenworths at the shop

 

[WAD357]

[WAD357]

[rweaver138]

Your unirail cracked even with the stiffeners? Did you only have the outside of the rail plated or all 3 planes?

Well it was an eventful weekend for me to say the least...

It all started friday morning with a little wheeling down at Rausch for Trailfest

First trail of the Day trail 5 hillclimb where i was denied by the hill on both lines due to zero traction with my spanked Iroks... So my freind Dom gave it a try in his TJ which ended with this!

thankfully he was ok and we were able to roll it back over top the fluids off and keep wheelin!

Ended up heading home from rausch early due to hurricane irene. Got home saturday about 1am.

After the storm cleared I got a phone call saying a tree fell on the jeep

well it took the hit well!

absolutely nothing happened to it! Decided to take the jeep for a rip through some local woods and apparently it was too hard of a rip.

Managed to break a bumpstop hammereing through some whoops at about 45 allowing the trackbar to hit the oil pan which a rod then decided to punch through dropping all my oil and and i also broke a trans line at the same time... So basically i ran the jeep to the street as fast as possible and probably killed the motor and trans in one shot... Ended my Sunday with this

followed by alot of beer and wings.

Im gunna take this thing off the road and stick it in the garage untill I find an entire H.O drivetrain to throw in this winter. Going to try to get rid of all the stupid issues I had with it so it will be mint turn key for next season!

That sucks, but on the other hand it's a great opportunity for an LS swap
