the rollover and the damage didn't slow me down at all. I drove it to school and work all week. then my luck went bad again when I wheeled a local OHV park on saturday

blew out an outter seal in the diff. it was spewing gear oil out of the driver side axle shaft (D30)
so I had it towed to 4wheelparts.

it's been a rough week

Damn dude. Where did you flop it at? I hope this Jeep stops costing you so much money. I'd be pissed. Actually I'd be out of money.

I am out of money! this is the last of my savings. but I'm not pissed, things happen and I'm glad no one was hurt and I'm thankful I even have a jeep to work on. I flopped it on a local trail

If you need any parts for your jeep I have an 89 with an engine, auto tranny, and transfer case that work. It also has body parts and most of those are good. I'd sell you stuff for cheap because you're local and i'd like to help you out. I have the transmission and transfer case pulled but I still need to swap the sye into my transfer case. I haven't pulled the engine out of it yet.
