Sooooooo!  Tonight in advantures of Cody and his Jeep... The story starts off with me going down I69.  While going down I69 I hear and feel a clunk... I think to myself "great, the clutch again!"  I get to the side of the road, the clutch worked fine, went to start it and "urrr uurrrrr"  nothing.  I then get out, start looking around and down on the ground was some good ol' black gold! I crawl under to find a downward divit with a small hole allowing oil to leak out of my oil pan.  I call neil, then get ahold of Chris.  Chris brings his truck and pulls me home.  

Matt was with me and while we were standing in the freakin cold rain a white truck stopped, it was JeepFreak from GL4x4.  He noticed the stickers, turned around and let us sit in his truck till my dad arrived, I love the offroad community!  Thanks Brandon, Neil, Jason (JeepFreak) and special thanks to Harley for comming out from Davison to pull me home.  

On a side note, I got my drums done today!  Thanks to Matt for helping me with it in the freezing rain.

Sooooo what could it be?  Everyone I have talked to so far thinks I blew a rod... Should I be looking for a new 2.5L to swap it??? Just in time for xmas... lucky me!

No... wrapping the towstrap around your bumper is not good enough to pull my jeep, and it isnt very safe, get it right.

Um.. I've been pulled out many times by that bumper, even once when I fell into a hole in the woods that was up to my rear window.

I've also pulled several people out of mud with that, including a Land Rover that was stuck up to its axles in mud.

Pulling your Jeep, on road, which requires almost no effort whatsoever, is not a big deal. Standing still, I can push my Jeep with the t-case in neutral and it will roll about 10 or 15 feet... So I'm guessing I could pull another Jeep on the road even if my bumper was plastic.

Not that you couldn't Brandon, and not that the bumper hasn't held up. It only takes 1 time for things to go wrong is all.

I would have had no problem going out of my way that night to bring the trailer out and do it right.
