Re: Got CJ7 fixed, anyone want to bush run in Ontario Ca. for a couple days?
The white CJ-7 is Mike's, mine's the TJ, and 5.9 Limited ZJ is Max's.
The caps were already broken like that when I pressed them out, which was
pretty easy to do since the entire drive shaft was only eight months old. I
still can't believe it didn't let go on me.

Ooh, someone didn't lube the u-joint after installing the new
driveshaft? Heh heh. Well, glad you made it home OK. Doesn't look like
you had many more miles left before total failure. The trip sure looked
fun. Looks like Max needs a little lift and some mudders to hang out
with you guys. :)

Re: Got CJ7 fixed, anyone want to bush run in Ontario Ca. for a coupledays?
Nice shots Peter!
I will have my photos ready soon, had some issues with a floppy disk,
but got most of the photos ok.
Too bad the sun didn't actually decide to stay out, it would have been a
nice day to run top off.
You were lucky on that u-joint!
I need to get some Warn hubs, that is the second Jeep hub I have
exploded. The bolts sheared off too so I am going to have to drill the
hub out to fit the new locks.

I will have my photos ready soon, had some issues with a floppy disk,
but got most of the photos ok.
Too bad the sun didn't actually decide to stay out, it would have been a
nice day to run top off.
You were lucky on that u-joint!
I need to get some Warn hubs, that is the second Jeep hub I have
exploded. The bolts sheared off too so I am going to have to drill the
hub out to fit the new locks.

Re: Got CJ7 fixed, anyone want to bush run in Ontario Ca. for a coupledays?
Nice shots Peter!
I will have my photos ready soon, had some issues with a floppy disk,
but got most of the photos ok.
Too bad the sun didn't actually decide to stay out, it would have been a
nice day to run top off.

Heh heh, Max 'does' have a lift and mudders....
Actually he did really well, only needed a tug when fooling around on
snowbanks, he did great on the trail with that Grand. I was thinking
that big 360 was going to weigh him down, but nope.
