Didn't catch the second crack that formed when the first one broke.

Just Empty Every Pocket. You should know that by now. :P > Great pictures! Would sure like to run the Rubicon some day. Indeed. I'd be carefully checking all the linkages for any other cracks. Especially where the PS rack mounts to the frame. -- DougW |

>> >>> Great pictures! Would sure like to run the Rubicon some day. >> >>Indeed. >> >>I'd be carefully checking all the linkages for any other cracks. Especially where the PS rack mounts to the frame. Good point. Most of the steering components are new. PS box is less than 1yr. Its skidded and braced. I am thinking about taking it to one of the fab shops and leaving it for a couple of weeks. I have a list of stuff that needs to get done including the ram, limiter straps to replace the rear swaybar, new pitman arm (slightly shorter), brakes (just needs bleeding I think), one motor mount needs replacing, and a few other things. -jenn |

Great pics Jenn!
How come we never get to see YOUR smiling face in any of them? ;¬D Looks like some pretty big rocks you were traveling along up there. Sorry to hear that you broke your Jeep. We managed to get through our long weekend at Superlift with only a few little battle scars on the belly pans, and I scratched the sh*t out of the wheels on one side. Battle scars, yes, beauty marks, not so much. Love your pictures of the scenery in both places, it's absolutely breath taking up there. After this last trip to SL I've come to the conclusion that I MUST have more Jeep parts. Going to have to get a job though. Short list includes onboard air and replacing my RC quick (HA!) disconnects with a Swaylock setup. Did you notice, the only ones in this group that are out wheelin' are the GIRLS!?? Heh... silly boys, Jeeps ARE for girls Kate _oooo_ /l ,[____], l-L -OlllllllO- ()_)-()_)--)_) The shortest distance between two points, is a lot more fun in a Jeep! 2006 Rubi with some doodads bolted on here and there.

>>Great pics Jenn!
Thanks. >>How come we never get to see YOUR smiling face in any of them? ;¬D 'Cause I am the one behind the camera!!??!! Might be some when I get everyone elses photos, but I doubt it. >>Looks like some pretty big rocks you were traveling along up there. Sorry to >>hear that you broke your Jeep. Oh yeah. Desk sized rocks for sure. Damages are really pretty minor. Only I dont really have time to deal with them right now. Work is hell, I am trying to do 3 peoples jobs at the same time, with minimal help right now. >>We managed to get through our long weekend at Superlift with only a few >>little battle scars on the belly pans, and I scratched the sh*t out of the >>wheels on one side. Battle scars, yes, beauty marks, not so much. Hehehe. Done that before I assure you. >>Love your pictures of the scenery in both places, it's absolutely breath >>taking up there. Yes it is. I hate the trip down there, but it is absolutly beautiful up there in the high country. >>After this last trip to SL I've come to the conclusion that I MUST have more >>Jeep parts. Going to have to get a job though. >>Short list includes onboard air and replacing my RC quick (HA!) disconnects >>with a Swaylock setup. Thats a lot shorter than my short list. LOL. I think I need to take mine up and dump it off at the fab shop for a couple of weeks and let them dink around with it and get everything back in order for me. Steering work, rear axle straps, brakes, steering ram, motor mounts, etc. >>Did you notice, the only ones in this group that are out wheelin' are the >>GIRLS!?? >>Heh... silly boys, Jeeps ARE for girls Yep. I did notice that. =P PS - My sis and Bro-in-law stopped in the area and we had breakfast together this morning, they are on their way to CO for the FJ Summit next week. They will hit some good trails up there - not like where I was, but awful nice too. |
