Colorado April Phoolz! April 2, 2022

Doug finally made it to this forum. I'm up early trying to finish up the Jeep. I have to make a brake line fit, fix a leak on the steering box (not as bad as Mike's) check the power steering fluid a few more times an mount a tire on the rim.

Also, I'll be on GMRS Ch 16 (frequency 462.5750) with no privacy code.

I threw the CB in the trash last night, so I won't be monitoring that. 🤣
I installed my GMRS today! As Mike says we will have to see what falls of first! 😂
Looks like you hadn't mad it very far in. How did the rest of the day go?
That was the end of the day. Mike wanted to go back and get some pictures.

But is your tie rod still straight?

and for the sake of science. stock sport bars? did they hold form or move?

He's going to get under it more the next few days, but that front axle is toast. The tube bowed a bit on the long side and bent the upper C. It also cracked the trackbar frame mount in multiple locations. Plus the grill, hood, and anything else inside that got pushed over like the axle did.

Burgundy rubicon guy who you like to give a hard time on your videos had a front row seat. 🤣

It was rough on the front end. For me on the inside it wasn't bad at all.
