I've been trying not to drive the Jeep much until I get the fuel line fixed that I messed up at River Rock. I have had no luck with trying to get just the fitting that I broke. I've order the whol fuel line from the dealership and it should be here tomorrow.
So I drove the mile to work this morning and my co-worker backed into it with a freakin fork lift. He didn't even realise he hit it. He saw me running and flailing across the parking lot trying to get him to stop. He hit it pretty good. It scooted the Jeep a few feet over the gravel parking lot. It didn't do too much damage but that is only credited to my beast of a rear bumper. Shaved about 3 mm off of it. It first hit the tail light and pushed that into the rear corner witch bent in a good bit and cracked the paint pretty good in 3 places. It flacked off pretty good too. Then it caught the rear bumper and pushed the Jeep a little. I have no doubt that the back of my Jeep would have been toast without that bumper. I mean there was a lot of momentum behind that thing. Nothing looked bad underneath, and frame is fine as far as I can tell. He couldn't have hit me in a better place, but I still got my Jeep hit by a freakin FORK LIFT.
I drove it and everything was as before except about 15 miles and 2 cranks later I got a sound from my rear passenger (opposite side that was hit.) It sounds like it's the rear drum and I think it's unrelated to this incident. It sounds like a "choo choo" when coming to a stop. Sorry, that's what it sounds like
Anybody know how to service these rear drums? Any links or tips would be very appreciated.
Pics aren't very good. It's dark outside.
Oh yeah, those corners are looking mighty fine Alex!
My parents' computer suuuuuuuuuuucks! I'll post the rest of the pics later. It's bitchin at me. I will be at Tellico so long as the fuel line and this new noise from the rear is fixed. Depends on how much that stuff costs me. The fork lift incident isn't gonna cost me the trip. Unless my frame is bent which I doubt, but it's possible. Chicks dig body damage anyways ;D
