well its been a while but since this is a new thread hear ya go i will try to get som pics soon

last fall me a friend and his girl friend go camping. i was on amission and stopped at store to pic up various bottles of boos as i wsnt planning on leaving. Well about midnight im into my second bottle of taquilla (two finger taquilla) and was laying flat on my back with bottle in air chugging it down. I was probably gonna pass out right after till the Best friends now X-girlfriend decided i had enough and took my bottle and poured it in fire. I was pretty pissed and aparently tried to kill her (figurativly speaking) then decided I was going to go home. well i took off like a bat out of hell from what i was told and took out a tree in the camp site jumped it on the corossion control mounds in the trail several times before some how getting turned around and was heading back to camp i think and jumped it again right into a tree tore whole axle out bent housing destroyed fender and headlight bezzel blew 2 tires and laid it on its side!!! Supprising l never broke any glass and no major umibody damage.

1 new fender 35$
2 new tires 240$
1 new axle 100$
4 used control arms 25$

1 phone call to lien holder of jeep (freind Jason) at 2AM on a work night to pick you up with trailer and rig with winch to roll you back over PRICELESS$

front driveshaft double cardan, possibly a wheel bearing.

not good considering the rear driveshaft is sitting in the back of the bed (it's a comanche with SYE) because I bent it a few weeks ago...

I hate it when people do that... "You're getting mean, so I'm gunna dump this out." That's a guaranteed way to get someone to be mean to you.

Sorry off topic, I know, my bad.

haha. already am SOL on that one. so, gonna yank the axle. I wanted to truss it, reinforce all the CA mounts, redo the shock mounts, and reinforce everything else that I can on it while I have it apart, rebuild the axle, put a mini spool in it, and probably build Y-links during that point in time. I'm also putting a small ATV winch in the front to control the axle on hill climbs.
