Wrenchfest 2005

[Hickory94]

How about a small WF Feb.19 or Feb 26? I would like to get my shock relocators on and maybe my RE handthrottle? Plus I have a leak on my front air locker..havent looked into it yet (been to cold..and with no heat) but hopefully it's just my line.

I need someone that could weld...Pizza on me....and of course help for anyone else in future WF's

Tick I going to be up in the air TJ did not call me when he had a problem and just made it worst. But I will know more when I get to see the mess that was made. maybe we can fix two jeeps.

[TJ-RUBI]

I was able to jack it up and stick the wheel back on before grub came and got me (I was afraid the wheel/tire may be gone if I left it off to go get my trailer.) I was able to back it up with the tire on, onto the trailer.
bottom ball joint is a bit ground down.

there is a bit of the caliper bolts sticking out of the knuckle. I'll leave it alone for you eddie. might be able to get a vise grib on there?

I had to unbolt the wheel for this shot. hub is stuck back together. I'm sure it will fall off again if I had to turn, but I should be able to drive it straight off the trailer.

btw tick ... what the heck is a Mermbert :confused:

[WHTJP98]

Let see look like we need

2 new caliper bolts (dealer $8.00 each)
new stub shaft (I think you said warrenty)
new hub (I don't think they will warrenty that)
and a part of a new break line
brake fluid

worst case:

new caliper and a knuckle (junkyard part dealer want $300.00 + for a new one) if we do do that new knuckle we will need to get ahold of Steve from ORO for a new crush spacer in the knuckle

[TheTick]

Well TJ A mermbert i think is Ernies buddy with a fishes tail. There is room for two rigs, you might have to let out all of your air to get in though. I'll clear all the stuff that is along the wall of the garage for extra room.Bring it on. :cool: Plenty of parking and trailer storage ;)

[WHTJP98]

TJ will be taken care of on Sat.

does your dad have a pan to collect the old transferr case fuild?
air? (need to the clean the rtv off the t/c)
floor jack?
I will bring the socket I need and I have other in the jeep
