Carnage totals?

[JohnBoulderCO]

I turned in the unused cv axle and picked up a new IAC. Hopefully, that'll cure my idle woes.

It was the TPS for me.

[OverkillZJ]

I'd start with IAC, more common than TPS, but that should be second in line after the basics

[chadjans]

I sheared a sector shaft (the pitman arm splined shaft exiting downward from the steering gear box) on the Pickle, but nothing else.

side of the axle...no muss...no fuss.

Until it takes out your spindle....

Hmmmmm, seems the ZJ's (not sure why yet...) don't like our truss UCA bushings. Mine are similar. UGH! Gimme a minute to get back up to speed and I'll find a cure.

Other than that, no real carnage. Dinged the paint on the rear bumper in the crack and got the powder coat on the rock rail on the Spike somewhere.

AC was whacky the whole trip. on the way home it quit again, pulled over and all the lines were covered in frost. shut the engine off waited awhile, they thawed, it worked. back to the shop I guess.

Coming down Flyod hill into denver picked up a vibration in the front. Pulled over and found the front pinion nut loose. walked to lowes got a socket, tightened nut. To late, howled like a banshee, drove it home. Trashed the inner pinion bearing...

Whatchu talkin' 'bout, Willis? Spindle? What, on my trailer??!! If you're referring to the hub bearing, I carry a spare, as well as a spare stub shaft. Where is this magical spindle you refer to?

Okay I stand corrected on the whole CV shaft breaking issue. Thanks all for pointing out the error of my ways.

For the record I replaced my CV's w/ u-joints a couple years ago and carry a spare set of CV shafts actually all the time as well.

I talked to Rubicon Express about their UCA poly bushings awhile ago. They said those didn't last as long as the rubber ones, but at least they were easier to change.

I think it's funny that the person that has wheeled and does wheel the LEAST always has the most critical feedback.

That's funny Cody, I was thinking the exact same thing.

[Texas ZJ1]

Well, replaced the IAC and still have the super freaking loud hissing noise. I think it's coming from the rear part of the driver's side exhaust manifold....just great.

It still idles between 200 and 300.

Hunter

Maybe from the salsa dancing that your exhaust was doing on Golden Spike? Probably enough bouncing around to put a decent crack in those rusty pipes.

[fpkites]

I told you already Hunter...JB Weld will fix a damn exhaust leak

Not exactly carnage, but I found that my rear axle has just a titty-bit more slop than I like (read: clunk). Guess I'll have to do super duro bushings in the trackbar.

[wheelnzj]

Thanks Cody I was also thinking the same thing.

I hope everyone gets thier shit fixed, So we can see ya at GSR 2007.
