Pine Barrens, NJ: Wheeling and Meet Ups

[Tresvn]

Hmm. I have the scratches too, nothing the buffer wont take out.

I know, I just have a tendencey to over do things like that. I once helped a friend sand down a room he taped, whe I was done he had to retape the room.

Front or rear mud flap? I have extra front ones. I'll give one to you if you want.

Front drivers side is missing, didnt even rknow till I cleaned the one on the passangers side and realized there wasn't one to clean on the drivers side.
If you have one that'd be great.

No problem. I have two of each side.

Did anyone get a video of that one deep pit where the Jeep got stuck in it and I almost hit a tree? I'm pissed because I re-named it before I transferred it to the computer (which was never a problem before) and it got corrupted. Same story with my last hill climb video too. It was shortly after we left the sand pit I believe...

My car is all scratched up too and there is some new noise by me too.. (Sounds like something is Brocken in between the 2 RR wheels,..)

I found an oil leak today. I pulled the front skid and looked for 45 mins but can't find it, I have a 9:30 appointment at Toyota in the morning. I didn't see anything in there when I washed it yesterday so maybe it is not related to this weekend or there was so much mud, sand and muck it kept it hidden till I washed it.

I compiled some highlights into a short 20 minute video. It's only the first half of the trip in here. I'll probably make another of the recovery/second half of the trip. Enjoy!

It's a SmartCam HD dash cam. I haven't really played with the settings all that much yet but I've had it since Christmas and I love it.

What ever happened with this? Did they find the leak?

 

[Tresvn]

They found it, it was the crank shaft seal that blew it only leaked when in gear. I dropped it off at 9 and was back in the drivers seat by 4. So lifting it will wait a little longer but that's ok.
Any trips in the near future?

That sounds costly. It's good that it only took a day. Did they say what might have caused it?

Anyone know how hard it is to replace the belt tensioner pulley as well as the other pullies? The wine is starting to drive me bonkers.

Service manager said should have been like $800-$900 including the diagnostic/ looking for leak. I paid $650 including a new serpentine belt because my sister has worked there for 17 years and I get her discount.
I asked what caused it and was told " your sister showed me the photos, you know the trucks not built for that kind of off road." I think she put him up to it though.
I attribute it to the way I drive ( like an ahole) the fact that the truck sat in a garage for 2 years yet was never started and it has 127,000 miles. I'm not mad though, shit breaks and shit really breaks when I get my hands on it.

As far as the tensioner pulley goes it should be easy. I have never done it on the 4R but every other car I had was easy easy.

That's such an ignorant thing to say and that's contrary to everything that other dealers have told me. Is he implying you're only supposed to take it out on a dirt or gravel road? Lol makes no sense.

Glad you got it taken care of. Even though it may not have been caused from the trip, it seems like a lot of people had costly repairs after: axle, brakes, pulleys, alternator...damn! Guess that saying "you gotta pay to play" comes into effect here

Off topic but I had to share it!

FJ Northeasters 6th annual Easter Run to benefit the Make A Wish foundation.

It's held at Rausch Creek May 28-31.

Check it out! Login

We have 78 trucks coming thus far! It's a huge meet and it's for a good cause!

Dude, just realized this is should have said March, not May!

This thread has been pretty quiet, everyone must be fixing the things they broke still.
any thoughts on the next trip?
