87manche Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 but the MJ is driveable in 2wd again. Had to ride my freaking bicycle to the parts store this morning to get a u-bolt. They've only been on there since last may, already rusted solid, I hate Ohio. broken u-bolt got my hand though, hurts a lot more today than it did yesterday. suckage. On to the 8.8 swap!

mjeff87 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Pics or ban....... :D That's why the wife puts me on the NO JEEP bandwagon before vacation. I tend to hurt myself, often. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87manche Posted April 16, 2007 Author Share Posted April 16, 2007 pics won't do you any good. No swelling, no bruising. I just don't bruise easily, it's a good thing, cause I'm casper the freaking ghost, a bruise would look scarey. Lets just say there was cursing involved. The u bolt snapped, then the impact bent it, and swung it around into the back of my wrist before I could release the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feerocknok Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I get hurt everytime I touch the Comanche. Last time, I held a spark plug wire while it was running and screamed as it shocked my twice. Time before my hand slipped off a wrench and put a hole through my fingernail. First time I've ever had a hole in my nail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWLONGSHOT Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 If it is really bad you may want to go for an XRAY. You could have broken a finger up high in your palm. Not so noticable but quite painful...I would think there would be swelling though... Hope it gets better fast!! BTW...buy some ANTI SLEEZE. Its your BEST friend for parts thet need to be removable!!!! CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jage Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Indiana is like that. My 00 TJ rusted as I drove it off the lot. My XJ...back in the day I spent 2 months in my parent's driveway lifting it by myself with hand tools. I had to cut through at least 3 LCA and spring bolts with this: :mad: What a PITA!

87manche Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 wow, that sucks. I HAD the MJ driveable for about 20 miles, then the second d35 blew up. have I mentioned I hate d35's? so, I'm done with it, it's gonna sit until I get the honda ready for DD status, and I have the 8.8 ready to go in.

fiscus Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 What's up with you & D35 problems? I ran my XJ on its D35 for 2 years on 33s with no problems till my axle bearings went out (original bearings & never serviced by me). Good luck with the 8.8 swap, I can't find any locally - all the junkyards here want $300+ for one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87manche Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 well, the first one just checked out one day. I'm sure it had something to do with the locker and 34's. Just a matter of time. The second one, well that was my fault. I finished up late sunday night, had rtv'd the cover, forgot to put fluid in it the next morning. THe housing burned my hand when I touched it after it locked up. Pinion bearings are toast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Funny chit there^^^^ I woke up in a panic at about 2AM Sunday morning, and called my neighbor (the one with the Chevelle in the other post), to make sure he remembered to put oil in it. We did all that work pulling, replacing the RMS and installing the new pan....we pre-oiled the new filter and put it on while the engine was still on the stand, and everything, just didn't put any new oil in it :roll: He remembered the oil around 10:00 that night. Woulda been a BIG ooopser there. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87manche Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 yeah, kinda upset about that one. I rtvd the cover late sunday night, and ddn't feel like waiting the hour until I could put fluid in it. Had to get a new ubolt in the morning anyway. So, went and got new u bolt, bolted it up, and forgot the gear lube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
