Then be glad you didn't go back with Hiram and I... This is what happens when you take a trail, trail looks good, then once you are committed you run into a problem... Where'd the trail go? It was once paved road broken up, overgrown, and an absolute nightmare. At one point I think I had about 1/2 inch of tire hanging off a 300ft drop off to manuver around a downed tree that we couldn't just go over or through like the rest we'd encountered...

My WHOLE Jeep looks like this now...


It is through the clearcoat and paint. All over the hood, above the windshield, doors, quarterpanels, and forget about my soft windows. Actually got a few dents from branches smacking off the mirrors onto the body...

 

Pinstripping sucks and I'm sorry about Eric but I'd take that over bashing in the side of the jeep at the moment. Then again yah pinstripping still sucks moose balls so I feel for you especially us black jeeps.

 

what did you do today???

 

pictures pictures! Guess you need a cow bell too!!

 

I took the other videos. I still need to download all of them. Here is a link to some of them. Click on my profile and I have a few on there. I will get more up soon. Yesterday I destroyed my passenger lower control arm. I was driving home and noticed I had "Death Wobble". Not just a shimmy or bump steer. No shit death wobble. I got home an looked under the Jeep to see if I bent the drag link or the track bar. I saw the control arm mangled. The snap ring and washer were just hanging on the mounting bolt and the bearing and the rubber bushing came out of the rod end. I was able to take it all apart and salvage the pieces. It is fixed for now but I need to order another rod end. The trails really got interesting when Eric and I went back out. I will never go that way again. Overall it was a great time. Here is a pic of the control arm:

 

Holy shit that sucks! Man it was a weekend carnage for a lot of people.

 

I was able to take it all apart and fix it in about 30 min. I had to take off the lower control arm, clean it all out, pound the washer and snap ring flat again, lube it all up again because the zirk fitting got torn off, pound the rubber bushing back in, install the washer and snap ring, and install the control arm again. I was pouring sweat when I was done. I hate working in the heat. Especially under a hot Jeep.

 

Sorry to hear about the carnage..Thats a great video of rangleme

 

I have a lot of videos of you. I will upload the rest tomorrow.

 

Oh shit I'm on my phone so I won't the video till tomorrow. I'm a little scared ha ha ha
