See....this guy gets it ^^^^

Would've used a zip tie, but it wasn't wide enough I am guessing.

Anything on my jeep? Way too many "just to make this ride" fixes became permanent, I'm now slowly trying to fix them.
I wish I had pics of a lot of trail fixes we've done like: using a water bottle to insulate a burned plug wire to keep it from arcing, or the drive shaft I let a "professional welder" fix for me at Chocco. I may need to go take a pic of the mudflap fan shroud I still have because it worked so well when I couldn't find a oem replacement.
:JRich:

Then there's this one. He lost the flange bolts while we were fixing his drive shaft. So we welded it up to finish out the weekend.

This is the kinda **** I would do....lol. I've been wheeling a sketchy ass nissan truck while building my waggy the right way this time around. Broke leafspring? Plate it and weld it..Broke transmission mount?...plate it and weld it. Broke anything..plate it and weld it.

Re:

Buddy broke his p/s line at the flare, we was half way down little school bus. Using a rock and wd-40 sanded down the line. Then using a hammer, punch and number 3 philips screwdriver reflared the line. Then used motor oil to get out. Jc carter helped also.

Sounds like an old tellico fix. I kinda miss those days

Riding up at the cove on Sherwin Williams near the church and dads fuel pump died in the middle of the trail on his TJ. Some redneck near us came up with the idea that we could put gas in his washer fluid bottle and take the line and put it into the jeeps throttle body. You hit the washer switch in the jeep while hitting the gas to open the throttle and bam the motor ran! Drove the dam jeep out of the trail like that worked perfect! As soon as the motor would start to die you hit the switch again. Was exciting to try and drive hah.

Ps gas didn't eat the washer pump because your typical washer fluid already had alcohol in it.

i wish I had a picture but I don't, when I first got into jeeps I had a POS 1987 all rotted out, I plated right over all the rust like it was my job just buried that ****. Of coarse I had the ruff country 4" lift cause it was 399$ and homemade shackles to lift it 6" total. all my buddies had the same setup we did about 6 jeeps just alike in 6 months, well anyone that wheeled that setup knows they broke rear driveshafts like crazy because the only slip was in the tail housing of the 231 and the drive shaft never got longer with droop so it sheared the straps off and itd break that tail housing too! I was young and worked at a machine shop , didn't make much money so I wasn't about to buy a slip yoke eliminator so built my own custom driveshaft setup I called the redneck slip yoke eliminator. I took a driveshaft with slip joint and cut it down to fit the back, put a snowmobile clutch spring in the slip to hold it open then installed it slipping the old slip back into the tcase and the spring always held tension into the tail housing, I think I used Cherokee front driveshafts they were cheap and abundant. This actually worked awesome! I don't think any of us broke rear shafts again unless hitting a rock or something. I ended up making several for the crew
