I went with this axle because the price was write, if I didn't get the deal I got on it I would have saved to build a 8.8

I keep walking out to her in the hotel parking lot and laughing at the huge pile of oil under it. Maybe I shouldn't have stayed at a nice new hotel with pretty a new white concrete parking lot.

finally got the a/c service valve cracked open and charged it with 134a... gotta love a jeep that's cold enough to freeze you out in the summer!

Now I can get dressed BEFORE I go to work instead of driving there with a wifebeater (for lack of better term) and then putting my shirt on once I get there.

I remember my jeep spewing oil Like that. It covered the starter and it wouldn't start. I ended up taking the cap off the valve cover to releave the pressure that was pushing it out the oil pan and block. I don't know If that's recommended though I just know it didn't smoke as bad.

I hope you can make it! Just wrap the whole engine in duct tape and call it good.

Jeep overheated 3 times today, had to keep refilling the coolant on it, ended up unbolting the rear part of the hood and propping it up for most of the day, but partway home she overheated again at a red light.

Gotta replace the thermostat tomorrow in some random church's parkinglot.
