My Jeep was perfect till i started lifting it. I havent been able to go more than 40 mph for the last month, i miss my Jeep. Hopefully i can replace my rearend this week since everything else is new. AND, hopefully i can drive my Jeep when im done doing that, i am getting sick of working on it more than driving it.

eh i was just pissed yesterday at it,and needed to rant and cool off, sorry guys!

The bearing is the 1 metal piece on the pulley the presses on to the shaft. I cant get it off I ended up taking it to the machine shop so hopefully they can get it. since all the plastic is gone i dont have anything to use to get a grip on it. a new pump is only $57 and theyll press on my pulley for me.

Im pretty lucky its run and still runs good at 234k miles,

After this the last thing to replace is passenger side window motor. Its just a pain but i do like her and dont think i'd trade her unless i had the money for a brand new vehicle.

LOL, that is what I would consider routine at 234k+!
Take good care of her, and she might just take you to 400K!
(I'm rolling over 350 soon myself and its not even burning oil yet!)

Nope. Ever work on a Toyota MR2? It took a week of working a few hours a day to change the damn water pump on that thing. Since its driven by the timing belt the timing got messed up, had to retime it. About six hours to change the fuel pump. Didn't fix the problem. Tried a bunch of relays and ignition parts, still doesn't run.
Of the five months my friend owned that car, its ran for two. Kind of crappy with the gas prices because his other vehicle is a 84 F150 lifted 13 inches on 38" Baja Claws. 'sup 8MPG?
