at least all you got was parking tickets, i seem to end up in jail everytime i go down there.

 

Ha ha i like my little town, only thing cops care about here is speeding.

You sound like Zach Pullman haha!!

 

Atleast i didnt get a ticket on my way home this time

 

Kristie ripped this off the girls bathroom stall at jonnys on 2nd tonight! I love this girl...

 

Nice that what all the offroaders need to do

 

I recently got a $50 ticket in an Ampco lot for short payment. There was a $3 charge for the lot, and a cash box to collect. I had gone in there last minute and found I had a $1 bill and 8 quarters...sweet! I put the bill in, then found that the quarters did not go into the coin slot. Something inside I could not see was jamming it up. Also, the bill slot is smaller, so they cannot go in there. I was late already, so just left it. I mailed in an appeal after getting a ticket, explaining my situation, and the other day I got a response. They reduced it to a warning, and accepted my offer to pay the other $2.00 to clear the violation.

Moral: If you have a legit issue, it might be worth your while to appeal. If you were straight up parking illegally, can you compain about the tickets? That said, @#%$ parking downtown. No wonder people in NY don't bother owning cars.

 

i live in a little town, but the cops only care about one thing here. finding the next meth lab

 

anyone know why leaf springs would fan out? the u bolts should be 120 pounds? i think i read that somewhere. when driving it feels like the rear axle is swinging around back there. could this just be loose u bolts? or could it also be bad spring bushings. or something else?

 

They always fan out a little, even when the Ubolts are tight. The Ubolts should be somewhere in the F'n'T region in torque If you recently did anything with the Ubolts, you will want to re-torque periodically as they settle. To what degree is it "swinging around?" Mine are a little fanned, but I have never felt it was swinging around. If it is shifting around independent of the axle, it is either those or the bushings. The bushings usually get kind of loud when they are worn out that much. Although, I had shot bushings, and did not feel it swinging around - it was just noisy.

 

like when i take a turn in town everyone says it feels like it's got rear wheel steering. i tightened the u bolts as much as i could today, think my socket wrench isn't as strong as i thought it was cuz it snaps free when i put too much torque on it. pos kobalt crap. but i did get them quite a bit tighter. and looking at the part of the bushings that i can see they are cracked pretty bad and they have maybe 1200 miles on them at the most.

 

Mini me got the time off for Moab, I'll put in for it on Tuesday, I can't wait to get back down there!

 

You can ride with me

 

wow!

 

Wow, what?

 

I'm about to give the #$%@ up on kristies jeep! I thought I had the DW figured out, but this POS is ridiculous!!!
