I just witnessed a gang land style beat down right from my front porch! :shock:

A cat got his ars handed to him by 2 rabbits and then 3 squirrels :shock:

. I had no idea a cat could make so many strange noises :shock:

I bet he don't come back to this side of town any time soon!
:ROTFL:

So awesome. :dizzy:

Oh yes, cats can make horrible noises. My wife was woken up the other night by what sounded like crying children in pain in our back alley. It was two cats fighting. Confirmed by flashlight.

Yeppers, the neighborhood cat is no where to be found :ROTFL:

Dang, glad we're now off Page 666...

Anyway, Hart you reminded me of a story. A few years ago before a house was built on the lot next door my wife and I were on our back porch and were talking about the outdoors, nature, that sort of thing - and I mentioned the strange sounds animals can make. Told her about the way rabbits can scream and she thought I was yanking her chain ('Rabbits don't scream or make any noises at all..') Well, a neighborhood cat started walking along the weed line next door and we noticed a rabbit on the other side of the yard stand up on her hind legs and take great interest in the cat.

Pretty soon the cat got into it's "stalking" crouch and slithered into the weeds. I told my wife that based on the rabbit's behavior across the yard she must have a nest in the weeds where the cat was headed. Sure enough just a few minutes later there were several LOUD screams from near where the cat was and we could see the weeds rustling. The mama rabbit went running to the edge of the yard right at the weed line and stood up on her hind legs - but she knew she would be the main course of the cat's meal once it finished with the baby bunny appetizer. :twisted:

The look on my wife's face as she listened to the screaming rabbits?

Priceless... :POPCORN:

All in the name of environmentalism and taking care of Nature. Yea right :furious:

Amazing the way the money just seems to line the pockets of the gubb-ment but the problems never really seem to go away.

Glad we don't have to deal with inspections here in Ohio - and in my county we don't even have emissions testing (E-Check.) Whoop whoop! :JEEPIN:

was sent the wrong one
They got me the right one finally

intermediate shaft is good , I'm running a CV on that side that the original JeepinByAl ( Al Handy) built back in the day, feels good but checking it
Next is to tear out the front diff ............................................................

Could it be the motor mounts? I was stunned when I took out my old engine at how bad mine were. Only one of the three corners of the rubber isolator was still attached - and that section had a crack in it. Was worse on the left/driver's side but the right side was bad too.

I didn't have the vibes you're talking about but maybe bad mounts show up with different symptoms...?

Don't know they look OK, ( the motor mounts) but ???????
Both CVs out, front driveshaft is out
still has vibes
wheel bearings don't appear to have any rough areas etc
Was suppose to go help Hart today but when you can't get over 35 and haven't been over 5 miles from the house in over two weeks, didn't want to trust it.
Tried calling you Hart no answer ????
So its transmission, motor mounts or................??
Does it in 4 wheel drive or two wheel
does it going up the road all the time
vibration is the whole Jeep, steering wheel to seats
This is one that has me stumped
PLUS I'm moving.....to a house close to NAPA
that way I won't have to keep putting things back together to run get parts!

So its definitely mph related and not rpm related?

teckman02 · **Posted:** Sat May 04, 2013 4:53 pm

tom i dought it but could it be a wheel weight or something like that

501 · **Posted:** Sat May 04, 2013 5:01 pm

Could it be something the transmission guys messed with when they fixed your transmission? It seems like all this began after they worked on it.

What all did they have to remove to fix the granny?
