Stupid Is As Stupid Does.........

I've been going through my Jeep fixing stuff and routine maintenance.
So far I've found:

Front side blinker was wired wrong.
My new stereo ground wire was attached to dash light wire.
Rear upper RE control arms were mounted upside down. I couldn't get the grease gun to the fittings.
A bolt was used on a lower control arm that didn't have enough threads to fully tighten it.
Not enough RTV on a diff cover, causing it to leak.

All these things added up reminded me of what the old Swede said,

"If I wanted some dumb SOB to f*#k things up, I'd do it myself".

I think I have you beat.

Couple years ago we were doing a SOA on my CJ. We lifted the Jeep, supported it on jackstands and started to cut off the U-Bolts.

I got throught the first U-Bolt and starting on the second when I realized that my "buddy's" put the Jack Stands on the axels.


It may take a second....but think about it.

You would have still been spring under. Except in this case, if you would have continued, you'd be REALLY spring under!

Ron, get hot! April is already upon us & I know you folks are hitting the trails soon. Have fun.

Probably - its driveable again (it wasn't really down) but still few things to work out. I don't do Waiparous or McClean on long weekends. Too many idiots.
