I broke it again...........................

Brake checked a lowered civic(totalled it by the way,Riddler diff cover=1 and civic=0) but broke the L/F caliper and bent the mounting bracket which cut into the rim.Must have been a bad remaned caliper I guess but I did lock up all 4 wheels which is alot of stress with brakes not exactly designed for a 6200+lbs vehicle.

15 year old didn't have insurance either:favorites68:


Sorry no pics of his car but took out the bumper(and both annoying pink HID's),hood,core support,radiator/AC condenser,cooling fan,intake manifold,PS pump(and all brackets),and sheared the valve cover and cams off the head when he went under the rear of my KJ.The gas tank skid did all of that and he finally stopped when he met my rear diff cover,not a scratch on the gas tank skid(Kilby gas tank skid).

Kilby does it job once again!

moved the storage trailer from one spot in the yard to another, so I could do work there.

think it's both a little heavy and loaded badly. :D
normal height in the back is ~36" at the fender. it was at ~31" when I parked it.
not going OTR with it though so i'm not worrying. it's just to hold all my crap from the old tents, so I can remove them and finish the pad, until the new shed arrives, in 8 days!!! :mfr_omg::help::025:

That's just about how I blew my shocks. You need the Monroes!

Both you and the kid that hit you are the type of people that make driving suck. Road rage kills. This was both of your faults and I feel no sympathy for you.

If I were having to drive it like that, I'd be worried.
I literally drove the trailer forward 10 feet, turned it to back it in next to the shed (30 foot distance) and parked it.

Did nothing with it today but drive it to the dealership to get myself a Challenger, oh boy this is gonna be fun :gr_grin:
I've never owned a V8 before, considering I'm young but I'm proud that I was able to purchase one of my dream cars at this age
Let the fun begin!

Nice, that's the only way to enjoy a muscle car. I thinking anything but a V8 in one is like a 2wd Jeep, for looks only. Post some pics!

Sad thing is it wasn't road rage.I didn't even now he was behind me till he honked his horn and couldn't even see him,only could see some pink light.

Eitherway the cops said it was 100% his fault anyways with 3 witnesses which one was his passenger.

I'd bet $6 and my left nut that it doesn't look any different after the accident!

I will tomorrow! She'll be my nice weather/show off vehicle only though
I'm keeping the KJ for winter use and whenever I need it for heavy work
It's crazy how much different a V8 sounds compared to the KJ with a Super 44
The Hemi just kicks your ass into the back seat :happy175:

I miss the power from the Hemi Durango I had, that thing would be getting scratch going into second if you floored it. Loved seeing that smoke in the rear view mirror. :D

Never even got in the KJ today, day off, just puttered around in the garage, changing a few things on it.
Trying to figure if I want to install any of the 4 pair of LEDs I have sitting around on the front
Missing my old 3 car garage right about now , not enough room where I am now
Plus my garage and driveway was always full on weekends :gr_grin:

I have an offer in on a house. If everything goes well, I will have a two-car garage + extra workspace in the garage, along with enough room to park three or four Jeeps outside.

The invitation for the meet & greet will go out once I'm settled in, assuming nothing goes wrong between now and mid-March. The BBQ and cold drinks will be on me. :D

Everything Jeep is highway robbery in Australia the timing gear kit itself cost me $460 to ship it over to go into an independent Auto parts supplier over $800 only reason I did thus one was it was already in the shop and I couldn't afford to wait

Is there supposed to be a period or three in there someplace? I have enough trouble reading - maybe getting dyslexic in my old age. Maybe it's your smartphone, but not smart enough to include a period on the keyboard. :rolleyes:
