Just starting a thread for all the "This happened to me and it sucks" threads, so they have one place to call home... also because I'm having a moment here. I finally saved up enough to buy my 4.5" lift, and on the day I have the money, my radiator decides it's about time to spring a leak... and to make things a little worse, my computer also decides it doesn't like the RAM I have in it either- I was so close to getting my lift!!!

 

I feel your pain. I was about to get new tires. Now it needs a new D35.

 

Man that sucks

I put a new fuel pump in my jeep because my old one was getting really noisy and 3 weeks later my NEW fuel pump dies on me when im out wheeling that really sucked

 

The pain of just having to put gas on it lolz

 

found a screamin deal on 15x10 beadlocks + 33x15.50 TSL'si could really use for $250/set of 4. too bad i dont have $250

 

back when i had my old xj i finally saved up for new tires and shocks put them on, went to take it out, rear main seal blows out :\ then fix it, a month later going up to big bear for a week long trip had planned for a year, bam blew again >< i sold it after that.... lol

 

Your 97 has a d35?

 

i was about to get a new sound system then i hit someone and gas/insurance prices went up

 

I get all the squeaks and rattles out of the back of the jeep (the front is too far gone) and then the screw for the trim on the back hatch comes out. No amount of foam stops it from rattling at a high frequency on any terrain. Goddamnit.

 

A couple days before i was gonna get my tires my jeep starts acting up and running real crappy and i thought of coarse as soon as i get money to get tires so on kind of a whim the day i went to get my tires i bought a fuel control valve($60) hoping that was it and sure enough i got lucky and it was so i got my tires and my jeep fixed thank god

 

Mine does too. With the Trac-Loc.

 

And now my idiot light is on, something about a compressor line leak... plus I smell gas in the cab, what the hell? Chery was running PERFECT for the last three months!

 

putting in tie rod i got from junkyard, now the whole post spins when i try to tighten it and have to wait until tuesday to get new tre and adjustment sleeve because one nut is rounded

 

You have an evap problem, could be the evap purge solenoid is stuck open. You need to smoke check the evap system and find the leak.

 

OHH THE PAIN!

I was travelling to Finland for the weekend 1000 miles but after crossing the sea with a ferry and driving 200 miles in Finland, my rear D35 ****s itself with a crazy vibration/noise/smoke combo, because the bearings died. Then I removed the rear driveshaft so I could at least drive it in front wheel drive, but it came out the D30 was also half-dead and vibrated like the whole car was going to explode. Then the good old NP231's chain started skipping, but by some miracle by driving slow we managed to get back to the ferry and home. Tomorrow will be damage assessment.

I guess it's a Jeep thing

Still this isn't enough to break my XJ addiction.

Also, while there, someone in a Grand Cherokee gave me the Jeep wave
