Clayton Christmas Carnage '09 (Rooms and Rides Thread)

Figured out why my hydro assist was being a biatch towards the end of saturday which led to complete loss of power steering on the way back to the motel... One of my hydro ram lines rubbed on the crankshaft pulley under suspension flex causing a nice leak.

That would still be in the back of Ed's Beast, I think. It was used for John Brown's wheel. I am sorry that didn't make it back to you, I thought it had. If someone has Ed's number would they please give him a shout? He may still be in CS and could leave it with someone?

Just got your message. Take it with u or chunk it, it was a $5 cheapie. Thanks for grabbing it.

Go figure, I take like 70 pictures of the trip, go home for the holidays, take my computer with me, and forget my camera back in College Station. I guess I'll be posting my pictures in January, then.

She was having some pretty nasty driveline vibes at speed.

Yeah... The TJ fenders don't hold up so well, but they don't look that bad... Check out mine, or even better Creighton's.

It's ironic that my jeep made it up that just fine but the exit trail to the right that you took is where I sheared my front output yoke... That **** was slippery and I had to lay in to the foot print pedal.

The rear driveshaft probably has a little bend to it, get a new one.
