Do you have a 2019 wishlist

[Bricktop]

I wish someone would empty Bricktop's colostomy bag in 2019. He's so full of it.

Why don't you give it a shot, buckwheat?

Ahhh say no more. You got the death rattles. Very common problem amongst Jeep owners here.

Its not full blown death wobble yet. The main problem is the rubber bushings are worn out on everything on that Jeep. Last year I replaced all 8 control arms, trans mount, and motor mounts.

How old is you Jeep Blazor?

Its 16 years old, I've had it 13 years, has 290,000 miles. I love it, my favorite vehicle. I can go most places people cant, like 2 feet of snow, almost 3 feet of water, over rocks, with the top down, doors off, and windshield down if I wanted. I dont like the newer ones, so I choose to restore mine. The thing that got me was seemed like a lot went out all at once.

Is it a good idea to keep spending money on such an old vehicle with 466,000 kilometres.

They're a classic vehicle not made anymore, Fash.

What's wrong with your jeep, Blazor?

Hold on a sec, let me crack my fingers, inhale deeply, and go....



Lol, its not TOO bad....



So I ordered a suspension kit and steering components in late summer, and they took forever to get to me (a month), and then the weather turned bad. So they been sitting here waiting to be installed. All my stuff is shot, so bad that I have to have a death grip on the steering wheel, and its caused problems with my arm injury healing. Well now its warming up and I cant wait. Gotta install 2" - 2 1/2" shocks and springs, front and rear track bars, 4 sway bar links, steering damper, tie rod, drag link, and bump stops. The kit is a mix of Old Man Emu (yay Australia) and JKS. The front sway bar links are quick disconnect.



I also think I have a bad O2 sensor. Plugs are due. Hopefully all be good to go after that. One other thing maybe. Then its on to cosmetics like replacing the rusty fenders and having them and the hood painted. Mechanics are my main objective, and already have the suspension and steering parts. May have to get a front drive shaft u joint kit too. Never ends lol. But I've had it 13 years and aint about to give it up yet.

Ouch.



It sounds like a money pit.

Kind of is, but worth it to me. A new Jeep runs over $30,000 these days, and aint worth it, plus too fancy inside the thing. Fiat killed the true Jeep.

Well, which is more expensive, $10,000 or $30,000 lol?



I see your point, but its also like Dinky said, they dont make 'em anymore. They also hold their value really well.



Reagan was a good president, and he loved Jeeps lol.
