What was done to your JK this week?
I totally effed up today is what I did to my JK today. Had to replace my water pump, so I also decided to replace my upper and lower hoses swell as a new thermostat. Should have been easy...got the sealant on the water pump gasket and put it on...started to tighten all the bolts, not even torqueing...bolt broke in the block. I tried to drill it out and use an extractor, my drill bit broke in the hole. So now, my JK sits waiting to be towed tomorrow to get died by a real mechanic. This may have cured me of ever doing anything else to my Jeep. I might not even ever do an oil change again.
