Default Give is all a reason to laugh with your stupidity by sharing something stupid you did

with or to your Jeep. I'll start:

Just now, I looked back at my Jeep purchase paperwork to file it accordingly (I keep all important documents nicely organized) and I found a sales receipt and plan for a service plan I bought. I have no recollection of buying it! I never used it. Waste of tons of money. I bought the Jeep right before some major family events took place so apparently I completely completely completely forgot I bought the plan. And I don't even know why I bought it since I always do my own work!!



Can anyone top that? That's pretty good you gotta admit. Who 1) buys a service plan and even worse 2) forgets he bought it?

I had a thread, but I had a BBQ this summer, day long event. Long story short me and my buddy argue over my wrangler and his 12 GC with the hemi. Turns into a pull off in which I destroy my front differential.
Did get to.re-gear after that much sooner than I would have

I was in a rush to change my ball joints out the morning before I was suppose to leave for a camping trip. I spent 30 mins trying to get one out. I used heat and actually bent the C clamp tool a little I was cranking on it so hard. Then I realized I was actually pressing it in.
Turned it around and it came right out. The other side went much faster.

Don't worry, we won't tell anyone.....

I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing with you.

I have done this same kind of thing several times. (and probably will again)

When i stretched mine i screwed up measuring the rear right coil perch mount my coils at a small angle and the jeep sits uneven... Its axle welded so I just added a spacer instead of cutting and grinding the same spot on the axle i already did... To this day it still bugs me.... Rookie move...
