Welcome!
This cold is starting to get on my nerve. Pulley on the belt tensioner frooze up tonight and snapped the belt. Pulley itself was plastic and was destroyed rather quickly. Battery drained quite fast and left me sitting on the side of the highway. Got enough juice in the battery from a buddy to get it off the highway. Sitting in the Thunderbird Mall parking lot.
So the better part of $60 went on a new belt and pulley and I get to wait till tomorrow to fix it so there is daylight! On top of that, the XJ wont start and my fathers truck I use as back up wont start either...... Not going to be a fun time.

Use them only to find a club close to you. Or join some more local forums, mn-jeep, to find some clubs. My club does not do any business with the MN4WD association. Actually you CANNOT even be a member and be a member of the jeepers. LOL
