Discovering What We Broke On The Jeep

November 22, 2020 by Scott Filed Under: DIY Projects, Jeep Maintenance, Repairs

After towing the Jeep home and sleeping on what transpired we had to make some decisions. We knew a lot of parts were broken. We didn’t know the extent though. I decided to wait until the following Monday and call Redemtion Offroad for some quotes. They built the rear axle for us so we knew some of those parts at least would have a warranty.

We Broke The Jeep

November 16, 2020 by Scott Filed Under: Uncategorized

A couple weeks back we took the Jeep to Northwest OHV Off Road Park. After repairing both exhaust manifolds we thought it would be a good time to have some fun. We met up with Waco Wheelers at the park in anticipation of an exciting day. This post has moved to https://ourjeepadventures.com/we-broke-the-jeep/

Jeep Exhaust Manifold Continued

October 31, 2020 by Scott Filed Under: DIY Projects, Jeep Maintenance, Repairs

After discovering the broken bolt on the passenger side exhaust manifold I decided to go ahead and make the proper repairs. After removing the passenger side manifold I was greeted by a welcome surprise! The bolt was not broken into the block like the drivers side. There was still some of the bolt sticking out for me to grab. Using a pair of vice grips I was able to loosen it and even remove it by hand.

Jeep Exhaust Manifold

October 23, 2020 by Scott Filed Under: DIY Projects, Jeep Maintenance

Since purchasing the Jeep we have had a dreaded heat shield vibration at around 3500 rpm. It’s quite annoying and makes you assume something is wrong mechanically. After a trip to Crossbar Ranch in Oklahoma I decided it was time to find the cause. I started with the exhaust header heat shield. That seemed to make sense being attached to the block and subjected to any rpm changes. Upon removal is when all the trouble began.

Jeep Wrangler Ball Joint Upgrade

May 3, 2020 by Scott Filed Under: Jeep Maintenance

The final upgrade on this last round we did was to install heavier ball joints. When we purchased the Jeep it was still running the stock ball joints. That’s not necessarily a bad thing but since someone had put larger tires on and did hardly any mechanical upgrades to handle the extra rotational mass and weight we decided an upgrade was in order.
