Country living is what goes down at the ranch... I was awoken at 7:36 this morning after a long night of eating crawfish and getting **** faced by a goddamn helicopter setting down not 50 yards from the cabin where I was sleeping mind you the area chosen for a landing pad is also about a 150 acre enclosure for elk.

Is that a rats nest? Perhaps cut it out, clean out the junk, then weld in a new piece of metal. Throw in some frame stiffeners to be extra safe.

Ouch. That sucks.


Yea, pretty much clean it out, cut out damaged metal, weld in new. Frame stiffeners if you can, wouldn't be a bad time to do them.

1988 jeep cherokee


Do I need a crush washer on both sides of the break fitting going into the front caliper? There was not a old crush washer on it when I replaced the caliper. I did not use any crush washers and it is not leaking from that banjo bolt connection. Do I need 2 crush washers per caliper or one.
