Yup! :rockon:

Coppied from JKJC :

Had a serious high voltage underground pull today for a new dorm. The 2/0 hv wire was teflon coated. Said not to use wire ease but we couldn't help ourselves.
Anyways, the boss made a rare appearance out to the jobsite this morning and I notice he's driving his wifes car. After checking on the job he tells me a story about his CRD burning coolant. Said he brought it to a mechanic to get a bunch($1200brakes n stuff) worth of work done to it but tells him not to do it if it has a cracked block or blown head gasket. Well the guy does the work, and charges him for a new radiator cap saying that the cap wasn't maintaining propper pressure and that was his problem with loosing all of that fluid.
He drives it home and ended up having to keep adding fluid the next few days the way he had been doing. The other day on the Causway Bridge(24 miles over water), the same bridge mine was on when it went kaput, his CRuD went kaput.
Told me it hydrolocked and he's not spending another dollar on it. I jokingly told him I'd give him like three or four hundred for it. He said "You know what it's yours.Between the two mabe you can get one working, let me just get the paperwork straight."
So now I will be the proud owner of an 05 & an 06 CRD Inop Edition KJ.
Two broke Jeeps.....the neighbors are gonna love this one.


Too bad he didn't blow the tranny or rear end or something. Two busted engines. :banghead:
Oh well bunch of other good stuff on it.
FYI 05 limited w/h cloth seats, 150k miles no timing belt change.

Bub,

you sure know how to procure broke jeeps, and not only that your pretty much resemble them too.

Anyways...... you got a Steal of a deal, and it looks like your repair project is moving in the right direction.

Good luck buddy.

I know Full...it's just that life has been just as good if not better since I hadn't had to deal with the jeep.
Never spent so much time back in nature. I've been on that river every weekend. Just got back from a 3 day excursion down the river.I found an amazing 167 pieces of petrified wood, 2 arrowheads, and 5 nice necklace quality crinoids.Big boys.
There was a serious flood this weekend and that means next weekend will be all virgin beaches!
Back on the River. :SOMBRERO:

Not sure yet. On both accounts. There's a million page thread in there somewhere.
I can't do anything till I get rid of my 56 F-100 from the backyard to make room for the other Jeep.
I'll start a new thread when I finally get around to digging.
