the little 4.0 couldn't quite do it today

[philip_g]

tried to pull an expedition out that had slid off the road and got hung up on the ice from plowing pretty good. Couldn't pull straight on without getting in the street so I was at an angle, just didn't quite have the traction to budge that big beast. Wonder if a winch coulda got 'em out.

Aww geez, I know how that feels. I've pulled overzealous F-350's out during snowstorms and on the same day get stuck in my driveway. It's an oddity.

You coulda got hime with a winch no prob.

I've lost almost all interest in working on the jeep. I was supposed to put a rear brake line extension on today but didn't feel like it :shiver:
so if I die because the brakes failed you know why.

If you did not have the traction, sounds to me like the problem was not power....just getting it to the ground.

You just need a little motivation...

#1) I'll hit the 500 mile mark tomorrow, gonna exceed 55mph!!
#2) Spring is almost here, almost time to go wheelin'!! This might help a little...

oh geeze, 500 miles before you hit the freeway? I'm going to take mine gently around the blocks a few times, check the oil, and forget about it.

 

[Frank Z]

What!? Are you nuts?!? After all the work you're going to put into it....:explosion

Break them in like they will be run. There is absolutely no point to not exceeding 55 mph. I hope your rings end up seating despite how you're driving it.

I agree. I like the break it in hard mentality.
