lol yea - they usually snap if they've never been disconnected (rusted). Mine were recently replaced and i ubolt them every few months, so they're ok. As long as you get them off in one piece you can reconnect them afterwards

I blew my transmission out...Today I took my xj muding for the first and when i got home i had a big puddle of trany fluid under it.. Now have to find a new one .. To slap back in there .. So it's my first time dropping one on a jeep yet a 4x4 is it harder than a 2 wheel drive?

Tried out a new camera angle on it. Most of this stuff was easy but the last bit of the first hill had a LOT of rubber on the rocks so I can only assume others had trouble. It took a couple bucks to make but I made a mount to mount my camera upside-down under my axle. Yes, it got hit a couple times but it came out none the worse for wear. What do you guys think of this angle? do you think it would work if I put it above the axle(about 6" higher)?

New rear drums, shoes, and hardware. shampoo seats and carpet. New fan clutch but had to shave the fins of the fan clutch for the fan to seat properly. Got the heavy duty fan clutch from auto zone.


Update. Looks like my engine temp is still creeping up just past 210* so that didn't help. Looks like I could used a better water pump and flush.

You're paying someone 200 bucks to help you change out a transmission?

Bolted harnesses in the back, found a nice diamond plate tool box that fits in the back and mounted my spare tire a bit more parmanently.



Dark fuzzy picture... sorry.
