ezapar Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 Turning left yesterday, onto my street from my kid's school. The guy turning left from my street onto 8th wasn't looking and went while I was in front of him. He crashed into the side of my Jeep. His head light was busted, his grill crunched on his early gen prius or echo looking car. If you look closely, you can see the white in two places on my Jeep where his paint rubbed off. Needless to say. . . I love my Jeep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitch de la Brat Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I need an update. Do you still love your jeep? Twitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezapar Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 You know I still love it. All it does is rock my world. It got to tow a Subaru not too long ago too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezapar Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 Went out this weekend to the cabin. Didn't take a lot of pics, but had a blast. Blurry at best. Love my Jeep. I get amazed every time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezapar Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 Stupid imageshack is down, so pics ain't showin' up right now. So for the time being, we use attachments. I had an extra 3 0r 4 hun laying around that I figured I'd throw at Butch. I KNOW I need shocks, the bushings are cracked and toast. But I also wanted adjustable rear control arms so I could angle the pinion up a little so I could get rid of the spacers lowering the transfer case. So I decided to do the arms first. It turned out to be pretty cut and dry, a pretty simple swap as far as things go. It turns out, I chose correctly. I was > < so close to some serious carnage. Get a load of the busted upper control arm from the passenger side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obk25xt Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 The lower arms look pretty stout, but the uppers not so much….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezapar Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 The bushings were all shot, 110k and 11 years of being in there. The guy before me clearly wheeled it a lot. I've put a ton of off road miles on it, I know they've taken a serious beating. The uppers are indeed thinner. But they won't rub against rocks or anything like that. Compared to the stock arms, they're pretty beefy. Plus, they are screwed all the way in pretty much. They're adjustable enough to be also used on the LJ. I have confidence. It rides so much better now, all the clunks and bangs over bumps are gone. I still have to replace the front uppers with new ones to iron out the last of the bad bushings. Then the shocks and it should ride like new. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezapar Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 Well, I haven't checked in for a while. I took it up to Snoqualmie with my brother and my old Toyota to play in the snow. Found a couple of feet of snow at the top of the hill. We made a little fire and had a good time for a bit. I tried some crazy stuff and broke a front axle. Had to do the walk of shame and pull out my winch while trudging through feet of snow in front of the guy who'd showed up in his Big ol' Toyota. Then I had to nurse it down the hill at about 4 mile per hour for about an hour to get it to get towed. I didn't have any tools, and there was no chance of getting a replacement axle on Saturday night. So I had to do the ride of shame too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezapar Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 I guess it was about time for that axle to go, it looks pretty haggard and rusty. The U joint is probably what failed first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezapar Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 But there are bright sides to the story. I was so happy I wasn't half way up Evans Creek somewhere when it blew. It was all down hill to get back to the highway. It turns out I have a Dana 44 in the front too. hey. Here I was thinking I had a 30. hehe. And the biggest blessing is just how easy it is to change out an axle. Far easier than any Subaru axle I've ever done. And I've done a TON of them. Waiting for the new axle to show up on Monday. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obk25xt Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Yeah that knuckle joint looks toasted. Are you replacing with an OEM axle shaft?! Orrrrrr UPGRAYYYYYDE!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezapar Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 I wish. 370 bucks for plain old Yukons each, on up to 1200 bucks a side. . . I went cheap, 200 bucks for OEM. It should be fine. If I would have changed out the u joint, I probably would be fine still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR_Loyale Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 What year is that Jeep? Do they use the same Can bus system as the Rams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezapar Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 2004. That last part is Greek to me. Butch got her some new shoes after some long time. Going from ATs to MTs should really make the trails my beeeyotch. Stayed with 33s. The set up I have is a great mix of potential daily driver and off roader.

Twitch de la Brat Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 "Mini" van eh? So you a mopar fan now? I'm glad you're still in love with your Jeep. Looks like it's been serving you well. I'll just be over here working on my old Subarus and building them, like the rest of us. Twitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
