Union KY reststop (MM177) on the "car" side, about 8.

Again, for those heading down separately:

Don't go through Carrolton. KY36 is apparently closed just west of town due to construction on the bridge over Locust Creek.

Take I-71 down to 421. Back up to 42 and 3176.

The MJ died while pulling in the drive way tonight.nice of it to get me home before ..

Never had that issue before...Gonna look for bad wires tomorrow ect. Try to figure out wtf is wrong. If I get that fixed I'm back in... Always some dang thing anymore..:mad:

Nick

WrenchMonkey · 05-25-2013, 10:22 PM

Sweet! Hope he's fixed!

comanchedude · 05-25-2013, 10:53 PM

Well I'm out this trip..sucks. I have a intermittent short in the fuel pump circuit and I am thinking its the pump at his point. So I will have to check all the wires again tomorrow if all checks good I'm ordering a fuel pump. Y'all have fun and get pics. I will be ready for the next trip.

WrenchMonkey · 05-25-2013, 10:58 PM

You've probably checked it, but mine did the EXACT same thing a couple months ago, and it was a bad connection at the ballast resistor, on the drivers fenderwell. I ran a jumper wire, bypassing the resistor and running a full 12v to the pump.

No problems since!

Good luck!

gothodgie · 05-26-2013, 01:39 AM

I got some new shoes...

see ya in the morning...

itbrokeagain · 05-27-2013, 10:11 AM

Hope you had a good trip. Wish I could have gone. I did wheel a little yesterday. My uncle.buried his truck in the woods behind his house so I guess that counts

WrenchMonkey · 05-27-2013, 10:20 AM

Absolutely, had a blast!

I managed to pull the trifecta: Broke the jeep, tow rig, and even the trailer!

But great day, great weather, great wheelin!

Ha!

Well, I had about a dozen witnesses for the trailer and the XJ. And Hodgie saw the whole mess abandoned on the side of 275, so he makes it official, right?

fordman00 · 05-27-2013, 10:30 AM

Well sounds like story time. I'm bored at work soaking up holiday pay....lol
