Rusted Crap

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 ****.
