The Jeepin Way part 2

Today George and I were driving home from Katy and noticed a bad clunk coming from the front wheel then the breaks seemed tight then loose, with each stop we made it got worse to the point where we were scared to drive any further. So we pulled into a little league baseball fields parking lot and took apart the Heep.



George thought it might be the unit bearing, good luck for us we just happened to have one in the back as well as all the tools to fix it.

Mind You Our Outside Temp. Gauge was reading 101 deg. we had nothing to drink and no shade!

George gets the heep taken apart and guess what we find.

The caliper bolt have somehow broken and come out, which knocked the caliper loose threw the weights on the tire rubbed bad gouges in the inner wheel .

George digs around in his tool boxes for a bolt



We had every thing to fix any problem you would normally have but no bolt to fix this problem. so he had to call for a life line!



He called around and finally got in touch with Jody, so finally Jody is to the rescue.

Now mind you Jody works almost down town and we are just north of Katy and Jody had to call around for a bolt, he could not find one anywhere so he went home and stole one off of his Jeep!

What a Guy!

So time fly's so slowly when your sitting in a hot ass parking lot, I can not tell you how many people drove in and out of that parking lot and did not offer help or even check to see if we were OK. We sat there for almost 2 hours

And then this AssHole Drove by checked out the Jeep and parked his POS and did not even check to see if we needed anything. When his sons game was over he packed up and left driving by us again not lending any help.



so if you see this Asshole broke down somewhere throw his ass the bird and drive on.



But................. if you ever see this guy on the side of the road (next photo)



please stop and give him a lending hand cause he is a stand up guy who will do anything for his friends as well as other Jeepers!

Jody Thanks again For all your help, you are a true Friend and we are so glad we met you!

Here is a pic of the Jeep put back together and the guys and Spike taking a breather!

The stock ones? I gave them to Tony.

Good Karma does make its way back around every once in a while.

Glad everyone is safe.

That would have been karma like a mo-fo!!!!

Nice job J!!!

Sorry about the trouble Geo and Co

Glad yall got it all fixed up. Like I said before, good people around here.

wish you had my number i am in houston this week i would have been more than happy to help.

haha I never thought about jacking his bolt, lol

now that would have been funny.

Steve, that's OK you were at work anyhow, heck everyone was at work except Jody...lol

jdub yes we need to swap #'s sometime that way if you ever need us when we are in your area or if we ever need you.

It wouldn't have taken me 2 hours to get there!

I don't work any way, I just let my wife make me a living






.

lol that's funny...it didn't take Jody that long to get there, but by time we got in touch with him an hour had gone by.

he got there pretty quick. it only took him about an hour and a half to get from the gym to home take the bolt from his Jeep then get to us. Which was not bad during rush hour traffic

Brother...next time give me a buzz!! I coulda been there pretty quick as I'm already in Katy and I think I know where that ball field was. If anything, I could have shuttled you all in AC to a Home Depot or something for the parts you needed. Sorry you had troubles in this heat...wish I coulda helped out.

People who just drive jeeps should get their jeeps repoed, so they can go to responsible jeep owners. Glad everything worked out.

If anyone is ever around Temple and needs some help give me a call. (254)654-1186. I am not mechanically incline, but I have a trailer I can get my hands on in a worst case scenario.

I was actually dialing your # when Jody called us back, and I hated to bother you at work.

you know i'm down here in katy area too, and i can cover tomball after hours. don't know much of katy passed Fry rd but i gotta map. glad ya'll got fixed up. sux you had to sit out in the heat.

I don't think any of you guys are down here in the clear lake area. But today I saw 2 jeeps on the side of a gas station with their doors open and people walking around. I pulled up to see if they needed anything but it was a false alarm. They were just airing up a low tire.
