Today I emptied my gear from my CJ, after a fun-but-damaging wheeling campout.
Yesterday I broke my front driveshaft coupler u-bolt clamp at the Transfer Case . Luckily, a fellow CJ'er had a spare clamp and bolt. Easy fix. Bashed my steering stabilizer to the 12 0' clock position as well, no big deal, it didn't do much anyhow...
On the way home I had some issues on the highway. My tranny temp gauge skyrocketed, my mechanical gauge temp (in the block) plummeted, and my stock temp gauge pegged .
(aftermarket troubles of late made me not consider it was accurate)
The Hills of western MA have always been unkind to my CJ, so the poor performance didn't raise many red flags.
When I finally made it to a rest area on the turnpike to inspect it further, I found the steering to be tight as well.
Diagnosis: Shredded WP/PS belt. Drove for ten plus hard miles like that.
Alt and OBA runs off of separate belt.
First time since I bought it it had to be flat-bedded home. If I'm lucky, new fluids, belts, plugs, and t-stat will be all that is needed.

Got the tub off and the pressure washer hooked up. Now the frame is sparkling and the engine is heading to the shop!
This won't be too expensive Dear! That's what I keep saying. Over and over again.

Just finished my inside of my tub today. I used Monstaliner Chassis Saver. It turned out better than I thought it would. I am going to leave it just the way it is for now. Someday I may repaint the outside and will Monstaliner the inside to match. After it dries , put everything back in.

might! Especially while moving forward and apply brakes suddenly.
Maybe consider some counter weight?
Oh and take a video while plowing!

i am thinking about drilling a hole in my junk tire, mounting it to a rim, and filling it with concrete. should be a sufficient counter balance, if it dosent rip my spare tire carrier off

That reminds me of a story.i am thinking about drilling a hole in my junk tire, mounting it to a rim, and filling it with concrete. should be a sufficient counter balance, if it dosent rip my spare tire carrier off
The day I bought my CJ I took the long way home over the mountains and taking pictures. The next day after I got home I looked out the window and said to myself, "I thought I had a spare tire when I bought that Jeep". I looked over my pictures and norrowed down where I lost my spare. I retraced my route and found my spare still mounted to the broken tire mount at the side of the trail.
I then had a friend re-weld the spare tire mount back on. It was built by the PO.
