nice to here from you ...... glad you found a repair shop and will be up and running again . i remember all the pictures on your machine as it was being built . that was fun sharing , lots of custom stuff too . can't remember the name of it though . johnboy va.
Juggernaught. It's as close to unstoppable as I could make it. I wasn't counting on the motor coming loose. I know I love riding, and wish there were more trails nearby without having to trailer it a hundred miles.
she's still a beast ! enjoy , j.boy
Finally, some good news. I vacuumed out the radiator, since it was exposed, and shoved the engine back into position. It actually started, and I was able to drive it into the trailer. I thought I was going to need help pushing it in, but it drove right in. Friday, it's going to be really hot outside, so I might wait until Saturday to drive it to the repair shop. It's a little less than 2 hours away, and might stress the Jeep pulling that much weight on a hot day.
Juggernaught is fixed. I will pick it up Friday or Saturday. They spent 8 hours of labor, and only charged me $690. I am definitely delighted ☺
good man .... hopefully that problem won't happen any more . go ride and have fun . johnboy va.
This is pretty much every transmission, belt, and chain bearing plate bolt on the coot.Originally Posted by scimanstev
One of the best upgrades I've ever done is, whenever a bolt comes loose on the underside, instead of contorting myself into impossible positions to get at the bottom nuts to keep them from turning as I tighten the bolts I've replaced them with these https://www.qualitynutandbolt.com/nuts/nc-handle-nut/
I got mine from McMastercar, alternatively I've made my own by drilling and tapping 1/2" thick pieces of steel bar.
