Today it wasn't so much what I did to the Jeep as what I did for the Jeep. Today working at my peaceful golf and spa resort I got some frantic calls over the radio telling me the horn in my jeep had been going off for ten minutes. When I got out to the parking lot it had stopped (blew the fuse and burned out the horn). Apparently the 100 degree heat had some effect and made the spring loaded horn button of my grant wheel pop off which made the little contacts touch the wheel. I spent the rest of the afternoon defending the Jeep. Everybody is constantly telling me sell it and get a new car.

I've never done it, but I guess you could put it in a spray bottle and mist it in the top.

Default Mocked Up

Removed the steering gear. Only broke one bolt witch is amazing. Don't care got a new Durango box. New hardware with my bumper.

The P/S hoses were fused to the steering box as expected. Got them out but destroyed the hoses. Don't care bought new ones from NAPA because I knew this would happen.

Factory spacer was crap. actually disintegrated when I tried to pry it off. Don't care ordered a new spacer brace from JCR when I got my bumper.

Got my other tie in bracket mocked in without the steering box in place. Mounted the bumper up to test fitment. Fit like a glove. No issues.

It's much nicer to work on when you don't care is you snap bolts off. Other than paying $27 for new hoses(old ones were rusting through anyway).

I know it sucks dude, but you're much better off letting it go... Make a big deal of it and you'll look like a bigger a+hole than the ones that did it... Get you some black trim dressing and it will be good as new.

best way to do it is grab a cap off a spray can of paint or something fill it with seafoam...pull off a good vacuum hose and slowly suck in the seafoam with the vacuum line...
