Think the worst spot i've found for a reverse torx was the ones in the steering column that you have to tighten when it gets loose.

First off, he should be safe since he said his wife did it. Second, she managed to do that cause Jeeps are for men
Really though, hope she's alright. Let us know what the insurance company says.

finally had a nice enough day to finish my complete tune up, 112$ late, seems cheaper than i thought using all premium napa parts. nice quick and easy except # wire pulled out of the condom and kept on breaking little pieces off every time i grabbed it with pliers, cut it off and was fine. the fuel filter situation took longer than everything else cause i put regular hose clamps on last time instead of pinch clamps(lesson learned). I forgot that i had underbody coating, it is starting to rust through in a few spots. is there anything thicker than bed liner? what do you guys use?

Took her to Chili cookoff for the country concert. Stacked full with coolers, charcoal and grill. Arrival 0400. Departure 1900. Glad I drive a Jeep. 1 hour worth was waiting in line trying to leave. Looked at the line, looked left at the sidewalk, back straight and finally jumped the berm and curb to the sidewalk. Glad I drive a Jeep. Btw, saw Chris Cagle, Claw Walker, Luke Bryan and Zac Brown Band. Sonia Leigh was there but we didn't feel like watching her.
