Gotta Love a Jeep

[Mike Pierson]

Broke my left front wheel off this last weekend because I was stupid and broke the cardinal rule with my lockers.

Couple of new ball joints (axle shaft on order), re-centered the steering wheel and I was back on the freeway running at 70mph straight and true.

Love them!

Damn that sucks. Glad you got it all back together.

Nice! Glad to hear you're up and running again!

Yeah, thanks to your videos! Such a great resource!

Good to hear it’s up and running again! How long did it take you to put it all back together?

Thanks! Not long really, most of it was already disassembled for me. It took about 2 hours because the bottom BJ goes in at an angle and I didn’t have the angled adapter so had to shim it and that took some trial/error. I still have the shafts to install but they’re on back order I guess.

lol yea I guess that does makes things quicker when it’s already disassembled. Glad you were able to make it work.

Thanks! I need to grab that press set Eddie has on his amazon list because I think it has that angled adapter… at least the set he uses does.

So, what is the cardinal rule with lockers?

Pay attention to where your wheels are and that they’re not bound up before trying to power up an obstacle.
