had a little accident with the jeep before last weekends run got some photos of it when we got back. was very upset i loaded on the trailer the night before and came back the next morning to find it off the trailer with the come-a-long cable snapped and the transfer case out of gearso some how it popped out of gear and rolled forward enough to snap the comealong cable and continue to roll off the truck over the blocks. heres the pictures.  after i pulled all the bent/broken parts off   went to pick-n-pull and got her all fixed up but the parts came off a 90' and i didnt realize they arent exaclty the same so the trim that fits over the headlights isnt quite right but it works. |

while i was at it i did a little tune up oil change some new sythetic to run a little cleaner and did a front and rear gear oil change since its just got about its break in 500 miles on the gears. next is new wheel bearing in the rear since one of the seals is bad when i pulled the shaft. and i order a dual steering stabilizer kit hopefully to aid in the final goal of no more death wobble

its just dupont red. i dunno the code i can get it if you really want it but, i got it at autozone they also have it at schucks, its pre mixed with thinner. so you can just spray it. then i used the clear they had there. i think its like $23 per quart and it took two quarts to spray my whole jeep after i primered it all white, and 2 quarts of clear.
