Did the rear lift on the orange jeep today. Had the classic stuck/broken bolts on the front leaf spring eyes.

Well, I did this to my fence backing the "Heep" into the driveway after I was done lifting it. Guess the vacuum wasn't up for the brakes... Also learned the hard lesson of my e-brake doesn't work. I should have known as they are ALWAYS rusted like crazy on old jeeps. Slammed her in park, only to get the grinding sound... 'Nother thing to fix at my house 🙃
