I think every month makes me smile for one reason or another based off of who the member is for MJOTM. Usually, it's Comanche related. Don't get me wrong! This month is no different that it's one hell of a truck! But... I'm going to be blunt here... that avatar. Right?... RIGHT?...

Remember That One Time?... Tell Us Your Best MJ Story ●

I was heading to emmigrant gap about 3 years ago on highway 80 for a campout i do every year. Truck was bone stock. I had the cap on back and it was loaded heavy with camping equipment/antiques. I came over a knoll and changed lanes to get off at my off ramp, the road was a mess from road work(2 diff levels). It sent the front end into the most violent death wobble ive ever experienced. I pulled it out of gear to wrestle the wheel and get off the road. My offramp was right there. Well it shook so hard it dies... engine is dead. Ive got no power steering and no vac assist on the brakes. I get aimed at the offramp just before it died. Well i hit the brakes and it isnt slowing down... WTF!!!   i push them again... near floor and only slowing maybe 50%. pump again... both feet on tiny pedal.... not gonna stop in time. Thank goodness this was an intersection in BFE. rolled right through it and up the onramp on other side. got out, pissed off cause i hate death wobble but laughing cause i was alive and nobody saw the event. look under hood.... Crank sender disconnected. no biggie. recon and started right up. Hmmm.... why couldnt i stop.... touch front wheels....broiling... rears...cold.   Look underneath...the rod for the brake valve was off the axle and hanging. So i had no rear brakes at all. JEEZUS!!!! 

CC is Awesome!... Why Do You Think So? ●

Cause Its an MJ only page and all the people are really helpful. 

 

 

Dave... Dave... Dave... you know you can never change that avatar of yours, right? Pretty sure it's kind of a staple around here. Anyhow... the truck, right?! Huge fan if this one! I'm definitely a sucker for a clean, white MJ. Not only that but it sure looks like it gets out there to be used. Real nice, man!
