Can you take it off? You should be able to make it home without it.
-
x2 You should be ok with out a steering stabilizer as long as it wasn't already masking some DW.
-
man, wish I could be there to see this!!! :D Sorry man!!
-
ok made it home.. but my tires are out of line... kinda.. busted the bead on my left front tire and had to use the spare.. got some real bad uneven tread wear going on... the bracket busted off and well got that welded back on somewhat..
Glen you would have broke your whole jeep this weekend... you non drivin fool... I did call tracie too see if she wanted to come up drink and lie to each other but she never made it....
so now i have a busted jeep in my yard guess that makes me white trash for sure....
i got ESP BAS light on that will not shut off for nothing... going to give it a good bath and maybe take it to the dealership and see what they have to say.. I think I broke something more then what meets the eye right now.,..
-
All that stuff (idiot lights) stop after an alignment is done. Now, look at PolyPerformance bracket or get the JKS bracket like I got. New tie-rod w/ 1 ton ends wouldn't be a bad investment either. Did you get pics? {popcorn}
-
heck no... u know i dont take pics of my jeep when it breaks... oh btw,,... who did your line-x... ran into a guy that owns the shop about 30mins from your house... said he didnt know you but he has done alot of black jeeps...
Jimmy the reason I called you cause I thought you were at D-town...saw your jeep or 1 that looked just like yours.. had a nice roof rack with lights and the spare up there but the real reason I thought it was yours is cause it had the FU TU sticker on it...
-
My buddy is no longer there at the Line-X by my house. I live just 10 minutes from mine. His name by the way was Mike also. Explain what you were doing to get all that carnage.

i was out in area 4 with my sisters kid and riding on the trail then the trail went crappie fast... I was trying to take the by-pass since i was out there by myself but the ruts wouldnt let me.. so i could either go foward or backwards in to some real slop.. so i went forwards and well the little water hole was bigger then what i thought... i got high centered and that was all she wrote for me.. i tired to put some rocks and sticks grass,., a dead worm.. tried everything I could.. then called the lodge and they sent out a gator with a 3k winch,.,, they thought i was on a 4wheeler.. anyway that didnt do anything... tried to turn my wheels left and right... i think i busted it when i was doing that cause my right tire couldnt move
-
:bs) You hit a damn speed bump at the mall!
Actually, the first time Sherry and I visited D-Town we got stuck in the mud as well, same thing high centered. I wasn't stuck too bad considering that I was pulled with a damn 4 wheeler. Oh, and the reason we got stuck Sherry was driving.

Hey Mike. I just logged on or I would have been able to help you. You probably bent your tie rod when you tore your steering stab off. Just need to realign for the bend unless it's too bad. You may have bent your drag link also if you were muscling the wheel and the tire was wedged. Either way, unless they are too bad, just have it aligned for the new shape.
I've got a couple of full size steering stabs and even a relocation bracket if I can find it. They are yours if you want them.
Next time, call.
-
brother i tried but my phone was in and out of signal and the damn thing turns on and off when it wants too...
what are your plans this week... I will be heading up your way wed or thurs.. just let me know..

i will pm you my number I am ordering a new phone right now, along with a new Steering Stabilizer looking at getting both the Drag Links and Tie Rods either from you or ordering them tonite.. busted the beed on the right front and the spare was never used but it looks like it now..
-
ok so my phone is crap it has turned off on me 5 times in the last 10 mins... ebay has a nice crackberry RIM BLACKBERRY 8830 WORLD CELL for 119 bucks have to talk to the wife and see... already have to spend 70 bucks on the front stab ... damn where is Mike from 4x4 rock and albert from 4 wheel...
-
I'm like Livingston, I was at home all day and didn't sign on 'till a little while ago. Next time hollar man, we could have loaded you on the trailer if we couldn't get you fixed. Glad you made it home.
-
I got the same crackberry SSG. {toast} Its good to go. Just keep an eye on your global/world plan!
-
i dont think i will be using the world plan for a while... well if it was up to me i would have to start using it next week but the big A says nope...
-
Yeah, I got the whopping 400$ phone bill on the world plan one time. I got the world ass raping on that one. Works in Bdad but not where I am {ehm} Oh, it didn't work at Tellico either but worked in mountains of Nevada :-X. How did we ever make it without cell phones and internet?
-
i dont know...
-
one thing is for sure... I would be dressed and driving to the parts store and not shopping for parts on the net...
-
ok so I need to to send out a BIG THANK YOU TO MikeL and Mark for the help they gave me today fixin my Jeep.
Without those guys I would still be broke and scratching my head trying to figure out how I am going to pay for this...
Again guys thanks so much and ice cold beer is on me for a while...
Mike
-
No problem. It was fun. How was the drive back? Better than the drive here, I hope.
One things for sure. I'm glad we got that track bar bracket welded back on there good. That would be scary on the highway.
Scout misses his new bitch. {salute}
-
yea the ride was great nice and smooth... and Scout needs to stay away from LuLu... shes tooo young for him... and she's Charlies bitch.. {hihi}
-
I had a blast also. Glad too here the ride was much better. Go a head and let Scout hook up with her, I might want one of those Pups. Don't think I want one of Charlie's, HELL that dog can't even swim. ;D
{toast} {salute} {toast}

Good to hear you got that sh*t fixed. I am in the north. Still no leave dates yet. I feel like a new guy or pvt! Did you get any pics?

Poor Charlie is going to get a complex!
Mike, glad to hear you got your jeep back together, Jeep, beer, friends with tools, what else does a person need?

-
