Default stupid move on my part lol

Well it was 3:30 am. I was half asleep. I just got my new used motor in my Cherokee started it up with no belts, fan, or radiator. I did have it started long so it didn't over heat, but I was taking a wire brush to the crank pully. I completely forgot about the trans lines because I was half asleep haha. But they were plugged and the plugs shot out trans fluid everywhere haha big mess. I cleaned it up and went to sleep haha. Luke I said stupid move haha.

You should start the engine and forget to hook up the high pressure line on the power steering pump... Lets just say it doesn't take long to shoot 1 entire quart of PS fluid 20 feet straight up in the air.

This was in the process of replacing my rear main seal, I was sleeping and had a dream I went out side and started my jeep with the oil pan off. Took it mudding and half way through the trail I realized my oil pan was off and there was no oil. So I cut it off and looked under the jeep and all the engine components were rusted. So I got back in my Xj, started it up to go home and got like 30 feet and heard a knocking sound. Then the whole jeep randomly flipped over with me inside... Just be glad that didn't happen to you! Haha

Lucky I never did that. When I change motors I just move it to the side.
