Added a Warn 9500 Ti winch, synthetic line and Gunnebo Sling Hook.

Somebody got a pay raise. Thats a damn nice item there sir. That's on the wish list.

This was 100% my fault.
I deserve all ridicule sent my way on this one.

I was attempting install my upper rear arms.
I broke the bolts on both wheels and lifted the Jeep.
I decided to try one side at a time just in case I couldn't figure it out so I wouldn't have to put too much back together.
Well After 2 hours I couldn't figure out how to rotate the axel back to get the longer upper arms to fit.
So I threw the passenger side back on and torqued it back down.
Lowered the Jeep, and went in for lunch.

Later I went for a quick trip to Safeway and everything was normal.
On the way home this happened:
This was NOT the side I was working on!!!!

After a quick assessment I realized all I needed was a jack and some lug nuts.
A quick phone call later and the Cutts Crew Godfather came through and saved the day!
Thanks a billion Jason!!!

He also told me that my wheel on that side is toast and I will have to replace it.

tl;dr
- Forgot to torque wheel
- Drove to grocery store
- Wheel fell off
The damage:
- The wheel on that side is completely screwed.
- The license plate holder is broken.

NEW RULE: YOU ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED TO WORK ON YOUR JEEP!! Only me and Jason are allowed to touch anything that makes it move!! Guess it's a good thing the Safeway is not very far.....what if you were on the freeway!! CRAZY SHIT RIGHT THERE!!
Glad everything is ok and nothing is ****** up that matters....only a rim needing to be replaced is better that needing to replace a BLUEBERRY PIE!!

I wouldn't quite go that far.

What you should probably say is that I need supervision.
I still want to learn how to do this shit.


Also I'd like to point out that the side I was actually working on was just fine.

Ok....then you must triple check all hardware you loosened!! How's that?

Got together with some of the Jersey Crew boys and installed a Teraflex 2.5 BB with Teraflex shocks!!! Tons of fun!!!

First off - GLAD YOU'RE SAFE! Blowing a 37" at "road speed" is disconcerting enough. I can only imagine the pucker moment feeling of having a 37" fall completely off!

Good to hear that that's all the damage (ie. $$$) that occurred.

"Cutts Crew Rescue Team" strikes again:jeep2:

You are welcome brother. It was amazing coming around the corner to see your jeep in the middle of the road sitting on the axle. Classic

Um are we forgetting that did happen to a cutts crew member on the freeway to a front wheel? Nice to hear your ok bro!

I was on the phone with jason when I noticed our gradeall was wobbling and then I saw this!

good thing the tire was filled with rubber since its holding the rim on!

Over the weekend. Tore my Currie track bar bracket apart, around the hydro assist tabs; pinned between 2 big trees. Should have waited for a spot to get out cleanly. I didn't. Hobart Trek 180 made quick work of the repair at 5700', in the dark. It was EPIC. LOL

 

[Bubblegoose1]

Just ordered a set of the Synergy HD ball joints. It is time, past time for replacement.

RCV axles

 

[Bubblegoose1]

Congrats. Great axle shafts.

 

[Bubblegoose1]

Cussed at mine. Water pump is leaking.

 

[JeepingGreen]

Rebuilt the torque converter and clutch pack (fried on the highway).. Covered under warranty. Ordered 5.38's.

 

[KevinJBurt]

Installed new steering stabilizer(Bilstein) and Poly relocation bracket and I cussed a bunch! Fun fun fun. Actually I love working on the Jeep after I'm done but during it I'm always wishing I weighed 100lbs. more. The ******* bolts are always stuck! Grrrrrr

Sold my Rock-Slide Engineering tailgate table recently.

Installed Smittybilt GEAR Tailgate Cover last night. Good product; crappy hardware. Ended-up using some quality self-tapping screws from another project.
