Ok. Ever since we went on the big offroading trip last Sunday, my Jeeps been having a problem. When we left, every time I came to a complete stop, I would literally have to give it 3/4 throttle or more for my Jeep to even move. It was so bad I've been putting it into neutral, revving it up a little bit, and then dropping it into drive just to get it to go off the line. I've pulled out into the street and not had enough power to get up and go when cars were coming up behind me.

Neil drove it a little in his driveway, and thought the brakes were dragging. I just got back from Muffler Man, and they put it up on a lift and spun all four tires for me and they weren't dragging. I've checked the parking brake and its not in. When the guy at Muffler Man took it for a test drive he said he couldn't feel anything wrong with it.. But I'm not sure if he actually stopped at lights and stuff or not. We checked the tranny fluid level, and it looks fine, and the guy at Muffler Man said he didn't think any water had gotten into the fluid.

So I'm wondering.. might it be the rear diff fluid? Could water have gotten into that? Or what else could it be? The problem is DEFINITELY there, I can say that without a doubt.

Yea... You didnt get it in your name? Man.. When my old Intrepid wasn't in my name my mother used to hold that over my head all the time..

You could always trade your honda in and get a Jeep Jess, but your mother would probably kill ya. Haha..

Very funny. I can't believe you guys would actually buy that shit (they also bought a "flashing button" that was marked $9.99 to put on my seat).


-Brandon

Oh man! Thats horrible!


-Brandon

you could sell it and get a wrangler.

X2.. Thats a good idea!

The reason I was even in Ignace, was because I was actually invited to be a "Feature Vehicle" in their car show.  Only 30 people get this honor and GM Performance was the sponsor for this part.  My rig was placed in over 30K copies of one of the local papers up there that was distruibuted during the show.

As for how it looks and why it was built.  Thanks to Nosilla for a little back up, but it was built for function.  I have 4 events coming up that it will get some wheeling abuse.  It was built to play with, but because it is the only ZJ with an exocage and a HEMI in it in the world, it is getting a little attention right now, and far be it for me to say to no to potential sponsors and events that invite me to participate.

Thats pretty cool! I'd like to take a look at it sometime if your ever in the area.

According to his other post, he'll be at the 4x4 show.. you'll be there right Matt?

See the periods? It made the link smaller so it could look pretty.

The actual link you want is:

http://moabjeeper.com/articles/general/ ... icleID=353

(which this board still resizes to make it look pretty, so you still see the periods even though in the hard HTML I actually copied all the text).

Don't feel bad, its a common mistake. I make the same one all the time.

Yea.. I agree, get the best lift you can afford to the specs/height you want... And get nitro shocks!


-Brandon

Looks really nice. Did you do anything else, like silicone your wires or anything, or is that stuff pretty pointless?
