Rusted Crap

[Bear Chow]

Well I've had the 95 wrangler with broken springs. Rusted beaten and abused. It's recently become my daily driver. 4cyl auto top speed of about 50 and when you hit a hill it just dies. I've been having to jump the starter solenoid for about a month that hasn't bothered me because if I can get it to crank I can get it to start.

Well I was coming home last night from an arctic camping trip. If you camp when it's -3 out you need a four season tent. Boy, oh boy did I wish I had one. That's another story.

Half way home and I make an emergency stop for some dimwit who couldn't decide what lane she wanted. And thud my foot goes straight to the floor. Friken piece of crap god dang it. I had kids in the car. Pulled over and the driver's rear is just covered in oil. Figured I blew wheel cylinder nursed it home to fix this morning.

Rant on--
God damn rusty piece of crap it was a hard line to the back right at the softline. How the hell can a jeep with an engine, tranny and transfer leak possibly have rust under it. The damn things a moving epa hazard.

I put the wrench on the retainer. A line wrench mind you. The correct line wrench and it just rounds off with the slightest pressure. UGH. After tossing the wrench I went a picked it back up from the floor. As I was I saw more rust fall to the ground.

Four and hours to replace a hard line from the proportion valve to the back. I've got rust in my hair, rust in my eyes and I can taste it in mouth. And I still have to go out side and bleed the damn thing. I didn't mention it but I'm working in a gravel driveway and it was snowing this morning.

I came this close --| |-- form going out and buying a new car instead of dealing with a rusted break line.

--Rant off

I'll be happy to go to work tomarrow to get a day off from this ****.
