Just a heads up for everyone who's not going to be making it this weekend. The Carolina Trailblazers and Henrdicks Jeep Club are makeing a run to UNF next Sunday (May 7). There's going to be somewhere in the area of 40 Jeeps up there with this club. We'll be riding with them Sunday, but we're going to try to get some good wheeling in the day before on Saturday.

Anyone who wants to join us Saturday is welcome. If we have enough people show to justify it, we may break off in a seperate group Sunday too.

I'll probably be going up on Saturday still if anybody wants to join me. I'll probably camp and then join the Hendrik group on Sunday.

what was the damage? just the tie rod?

what was the damage? just the tie rod?

Tie rod, rocker panel, pass side front door, and a noise / popping / vibration that I have yet to diagnose. It sounds like a lock right on the way out, but its coming from the rear of my jeep, and I've never heard a mini spool make a noise like that. I didn't feel that it was safe to drive home, so I ended up trailering it back Monday after I got off work.

Hopefully it will just be a bad bearing or something in the rear axle, but it could be in the t-case, or the pinion gear, or?

All I know is that I don't have the time, energy or money to fix it right now. I was going to buy a trailer, but then found out that I owe the IRS more than my Jeep is worth. :(

I'm hoping to start with a diagnosis next weekend.

Sidney & I took a listen tonight while I had it on jack stands. He's "99% sure the noise is coming from the rear end."

I'm poppin the cover tomorrow. I've got to know.

Truck is loaded and ready to leave for Uwharrie in the AM. Sidney already told me that.....hehehehehehe Thats what I said at Uwharrie but without being under it it is really hard to say for sure. I hope it is something simple like a bad bearing.

It's going to be weird without you Hank. I'll be thinking of you as I'm abusing a taillight somewhere or against some rock.

Yeah, I help everyone else out by being "that guy". Yeeeaaaah...... Thaaaat's the ticket..... How giving of myself. I'm sacrificing my jeep and my sanity for everyone else's wheeling pleasure.

Just to update - I popped the diff cover this morning. I think I have a broken pinion tooth.

Correction. I sheared the cross shaft, which took out my mini spool, which chewed up my pinion gear a little. I hope to be able to re-use the R&P, but I know I need a new shaft, and another traction device of some sort.

Not having Hank was sad on the trails, but we managed to find some crap to damage our vehicles this time out. Nothing really major....Stinkoman almost rolled, but he shattered his left rear window on a easy trail just gave a tree a little kiss. I killed my front bumper and vacuum canister and almost killed my alternator somehow we brought it back to life.
