Here's a story, of Jeep named Woody..

[Geepfreak]

Who was supposed to be in Moab last night
But brake lines and fuel lines, were holding it up,
After a trip to the parts store, and digging for used parts,
Should have been on it's way, but axle age and swappingLeft her without fluid, and axle bearings dry that made an AWFULL squeal
when trying to be driven to Mecca.

So for now, Poor Woody still has no home, just being fostered for now..:roflmao:


Things I learned when working on an XJ that was bought from Ryan, and worked on by the IC crew..

Screws and bolts get scattered..
The Jeeps moves better with the TCM plugged in..
Fluid levels are for some reason Irrelevant..
They hate Marroon interiors..
Hoods are over-rated..
They replace axles with axles that are older than dirt, and just as well maintained..

:D:D

Yes, how much did he pay you to take it?:D

Hmm. I got that hood (great shape, btw). Are you willing to part with the nice wood-trim dash? :D

It was delivered to my house on Saturday, to be repaired enough to get to Moab Last night, BUT, it was close, no cigar though.

I did not buy it, Pat(Dereks(JMAXJ)) cousin bought it.

He is going to call me in the next day or two about whether he wants the axle replaced with a Yota axle, or just wants me to replace the axle bearings so he can take it to Moab this coming weekend.

The saga continues..:D

things that i learned.......

ryan is crazier than i am by putting a chain on an axle that is held on by a thread,
and yes it does shift better with the TCM plugged in...
UTAH COUNTY SUCKS ON SUNDAYS!!!!
it takes 15 min. from jeremy's shop to autozone in riverton...
it is useless to put fluid in an axle when bearings are shot...

[Geepfreak]

Atleast we checked..:D

[best88xj]

You check that faster then I checked my fuel pump

[jmaxj]

Atleast we checked..:D
yea it could have been bad....

[Geepfreak]

Ya think? :roflmao:

What would have been worse, bearings seizing or R&P Glowing?..:D

HAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHHAHAAA AAAAAAA

LMFAO X10......:D :D

[DrMoab]

hahahaha.....I knew I got rid of that thing for a reason.

BTW did the tranny actually work when you plugged it in?

And as far as that rear axle...it had three U-bolts...more then strong enough to get it to Lehi.

Also...you knew I swapped in a donor axle....the first thing that should have been checked was the fluid.

[DrMoab]

I think that jeep is cursed....

Well...

I guess if you define cow s$%t, cowboys, cheese factories and tons and tons of farming going on as creepy.....yeah!

[stewie]

naw, jerome az is an old mining town turned dusty tourist stop. the whole town is sliding down the mountain from what i understand. but thats about all i remember from when i went there when i was 8 or 9.

yes the tranny worked when plugged in.

and when we pulled it in the shop one U-bolt was hanging off the axle and the otheer two were loose as hell......

well the fluid was checked and filled every where else so so kinda spaced it for a bit i guess:D

The one that was hanging....did it break? Or just come loose? I knew the others were loose because they were built for that 44. Not thick enough for a 35.

It just came loose..

I rode in that thing for about 150 yds at Ryans house and was scared. Please tell me you didn't drive it clear to Lehi??

Were there for the ride down the hill without brakes?

[Clint]

No, that probally was something you wanted to catch on tape though :)

[Geepfreak]

Please tell me you didn't drive it clear to Lehi??

No, but just driving to behind the shop was MORE than enough for me.

When it got pulled into the shop, I was really worried about the equipment against the back wall:scared:

Ouch, I know how that is. Did that plenty of times with my Mustang (not going to Moab of course!). Anyways, I was just down in Moab, Sunday through yesterday :) Got pretty cold at night out there!

yeah this cold front or what ever has it freezing at night right now

[gromer]

Sunday and Monday night were very cold, I'm thinking low 30s, but Tuesday night was great, wasn't cold at all. It was my first time taking my Jeep offroad, it's a stock 2001 XJ, went on the Hidden Arch trail at Arches and then took the backway into Canyonlands on Wed. Started raining on that drive but it didn't really effect anything. We stayed at the Sand Flats campground. Site F on Sunday night and site B (the one across from Slickrock bike trail) Monday and Tuesday night. Site B was awesome. If you want to see pictures of it, http://www.gr0m3r.com/gallery/moab_fall_2006. I can't wait to go back down to Moab.

[DaveW]

OK, I am off to bed, got to pick Cody up in SLC at 6 or tomorrow morning, then drive to Moab. So night Fella's....

[stewie]

i hope the curse of the woody hasnt transfered to my Jeep when i was over there yesterday.

speaking of the curse of the woody, i wonder if it would radiate out to the tow vehicle?

It didn't for me when I towed it to Geeps house.

[jmaxj]

Knowing those guys....just being on a trailer doesn't make it safe.
esspcially since the trailer they got is pat's old one and he used to fry wheel bearings on it everytime he took it out, that's why he sold it(but i took it san francisco and back to moab without an issue:D)



i'll keep the updates comming as i call them to see where they are.

[jmaxj]

UPDATE: the woody has made it to I-70:yelclap:

[jmaxj]

the woody made it to moab around two am and almost up potatoe salad hill, it was at the top then over heated, but it'll go up tomorrow.


























well maybe:D

[DaveW]

What trail will Jeremy be running.......





Try that one. So if it dies he can find it. But that might cause him to have nightmares:D
