Don't forget to calculate the shipping into the total price...they're heavy!!!

I got them while our dollar was good so they were a pretty good deal.

well rock rails wouldn't have helped me today...
lets see whats the title of the thread...
What Did You Do To Your GC Today: I Rolled Mine. :-D

on barely a turn my jeep decided to slide out and all 30mph of momentum put me into a spin and sent me heading to the ditch...



both passenger side windows are broken, the rear driver is just down for the dog



landed on its wheels, and drove it right out of the field!
the rear passenger tire got a pinch flat, had to change that and made it the rest of the way home...

but my brother and I were fine, my dog is sleeping it off, poor guy hit the roof, but it could have been much much worse, only in a Jeep


good game jeep, we'll start another one soon enough

WJCraig

What's that I heard? Buggy project???

Sorry to hear about that, but at least everyone and the dog are alright.

The pride may be a little on the bruised side though?

CrazyWJ242

nah pride isn't hurt, its not like it wasn't a skating rink down here, even if i was going 10 mph i would have ended up in the ditch... i lost no momentum in the spin, and was fighting it the entire time... i just hate the fact it happened, my jeep got me thru it unscathed, and its in suprisingly good enough shape i think they MIGHT fix it... but considering the underlying problems (the bent axle and cracked tranny) they might total it out...

CrazyWJ242

Well havn't figured out whats going on yet, Buddy i work with has had a wrangler hanging out in the back yard for 4 weeks now, it hasn't moved. asked him what the deal was and its something his father just doesn't want at the house anymore, so i asked if they were selling it, their going to get up with me on a price...

Red 2000 Wrangler Sport
4.0L with Automatic Tranny 231 t-case
75330 Miles (mostly highway)

only has a soft top, which has only been off a few times...

If the price is right i think im going to pick it up... if not im going with a XJ or ZJ... i havn't quite figured that one out yet... most likely a ZJ, i dont like the feel of leaf springs on the trail...

Mikey,
WTF??!!, I go out of town for a training course and to get out of it decide to have a heart attack and I come back to this!!
Glad to here that you the brother and wingman are all okay but definitly didn't like the looks of the pics. Hopefully they don't write it off but if they do...Like Craig said ''buggy time''. By the way I still need a 242. Just sayin...

CrazyWJ242

i was wondering what the hell had happened to you, assumed right out of town + heartattack... thats not the greatest of news Dan, hope your doing well man.

but yeah they totaled it out, estimated $15,000 in damage, since the tranny was cracked i opted out of keeping it... that and they gave me more than i paid for it! so im really not too stressed about it... daddy's leaning towards a ZJ or a XJ... more on the ZJ... unless i can find a stupid deal on a XJ then i'll get it too...

hopefully in the next few weeks i'll pick up my new one.. i've got pleanty to choose from and their all in great condition so its finding a steal

WJCraig

Looking forward to seeing pics of the new project!

CrazyWJ242

95 XJ with 150k on the mill, dual exhaust pre-axle, i believe its got the tow package so im assuming 3.73 gears, great shape new rad and waterpump, not a spot of rust...

$1000 from lady friends brother... hmmm i just might!

ran into a buddy of mine who was thinking about picking up a jeep and wanted some power... told him the good bad and ugly, he picked up a 06 Rubicon, 4.0L the bastard... 6 speed 4:1 tcase, with 4inch rough country lift (assuming), and 35" micky tompson's on it... im pretty upset lol... i wish i had a couple grand to throw into one of them lol

but he bought it not build it...

WJCraig

Not to build it? That sounds like a foreign language to me...what does that mean???
