View Full Version : A.s.s. wagon down !!
Yep stuck on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck . Sadly this the end of my jeep . If I seem kinda down this weekend it's due to the loss
Come on tow truck , it's getting nippy in here!
Oh I'm in the middle of nowhere Nebraska headed back to Denver .... Well now I'll be headed to the house to grab the wife's mini van
If you were in Denver I'd come help you or even outside of Denver.

Sorry, dude...
If I thought I could be there before the truck I'd come and pick you up, Driving betty it would take me about 2.5 - 3 hours. Of course we would have to stop in Holyoke though and pop a few pheasants first [Coffee] GL man and I'll see you at the tanner.
And I just filled the tank , mister al is not happy but I am kinda looking forward to getting a new ride .

Yeah dont give up on the ole girl, I can promise you I have fixed worse.
Recently ;)
Turns out its the transfer case or something , looks like an alien chewed it's way out . Thinking 1200-2200 fix ,for now I have to load up the wife's mini van and get my sorry butt to Denver
sorry to hear the crappy situation! Hope you get rescued soon!

Aw no! A minivan? What can be more of a blow to your manhood than that!? [LOL]Sorry about your Jeep... I heard a few years back when my brother bought his Jeep Grand Cherokee that there's a guy in Aurora who has a Jeep specific junk lot... But that's all I know. Sorry.

what kind of jeep? if you spend 1200 to replace a $200 jeep transfer case you need a new mechanic. you can find a good used one all day long for $200 or less. After the linkage and drive shaft it is a 6 bolt repair. you can do it yourself in 2 hours even if you have never done one.
if you cant do it yourself I am sure there is someone (including me) here on the board that would be happy to hang a new transfer case in exchange for some ammo or something
it would be hard to get it all the way to my garage in Bailey, but there must be someone here closer that could help.

http://denver.craigslist.org/search/?areaID=13&subAreaID=&query=np+231&catAbb=sss has a np 242 for $200
http://denver.craigslist.org/pts/3365401101.html np 231 for $200
http://fortcollins.craigslist.org/pts/3389863665.html np 231 for $250
Turns out the transfer case is ripped in half , tranny housing is cracked from stem to stern and the motor is leaking from multiple places in the front . Not to mention shocks and springs are toast , it's been leaking steering fluid and when I turn the wheel it goes CLANK CLANK CLANK . Also I know the struts have been broken for almost a year now ..... But I have put 1000 miles a week on her for over three years so I guess it's just time for the old girl to be turned into soda cans . Oh yeah if anybody wants to buy a broken jeep grand cherokee I'm sellin one cheap

ASIDE FROM THAT WHAT IS WRONG WITH HER [ROFL1]
seriously though what kind of shape is the body and interior in?body is so so , a little rust on the hatch back and a few scratches here and there , oh and dent in the drivers side rear door , interior is well 80% at best ,the tape deck works and the windows go up and down [Flower]
im thinking i might get few bucks for it at the scrap yard , ill scrap the wheels separate (them being aluminum and all ) , maybe ill sell the spare on craigs list seeing as its a new rim and tire (well kinda , it has been riding on the roof ) . ooo it does have a tow package but the lights dont work . witch reminds me , front marker light out , fog lights broken from rocks . all the glass is good
i almost forgot the most important part ...........
it has a preban coar15 sticker on it

Find somewhere that will dismount the tires cheep, the dismount fees will quickly eat up any scrap profit.
Sorry to hear about the Jeep. My Honda shit the bed last week. I hate cars sometimes.. so damn expensive.

I have a buddy that quit filling up his tank because every time he did, something would go wrong.

I had an 84 XJ that I had just put a new motor in( like 2 days before) ... and filled the tank( like 20 mins before) ............ Got rear ended by a drunk driver.. I made his insurance add the full tank of gas to the pay off . LOL ( the motor too but that is not nearly as funny as the gas )
Stupid cars. :)

I'll see you at the show today Mr. Al.
ouch sorry for your loss. if you have anytime during the week my school has an auto shop so i can dismount the tires for you for free. Also if my Auto shop teacher may want the car for the shop he will give you a tax write off. although he is looking for cars that run more then anything, but it wouldn't hurt to ask. let me know if you need any help.
