I knew some work needed to be done but the trip just put the jeep over the top. I took the heep down to the shop and asked them "whats that noise?"

Front driveshaft, lower control arms in the rear look to be bent, Control arm bushings all around, shifter linkage, rear yoke on the diff and I may have trashed my R&P… I have to pull the rear diff cover tonight to see what broke… I have some bad noise coming out of the diff.

It is covered under factory waranty and they said that the lift will not be a problem. I kept the Jeep at my house an extra day to wash the poo out of it and make sure there was no evidence of the trip.

Thats great! More money for a locker :wink:

The jeep we passed going in to MC with the little girl hanging out the door… He broke down at the river too. Lost his draglink and had to get a tow out on Sun.
He just emailed me about it.

Slow. I put in new control arms on fri night. I still have a thunk in the rear. The Jeep is going to see Todd or Joe... I let them look at it and see what it needs. :evil:

Great Job updating the site. I know you have been busy with that, just wondering if you started Coke and Gilla yet. Just excited to see, not trying to pressure you.
