I wish I had a mechanic I could trust.
I didn’t know swaybar theft was such a plague.
“I don’t know what happened- I was just driving along and my front wheels locked up.”
It’s that time of the year. Spring is in the air.
I could be swayed that this kludge has a lock on creativity… except for that loud clanking noise…. somebody please steer me away from this.
Why do people feel compelled to kludge the suspension on their cars?
Seeing as it’s another solid axle 4wd front end with open axles, maybe it’s the other side of that other recently posted kludge… the kludger musta run out of Craftsman wrenches and zip-ties
Because people will kludge anything on their vehicle that will keep it mobile. And because for any major suspension work will run ya anywhere from 300-600$
There’s a key to this, I just need the right combination.
Inside the car there is an envelope attached on the steering-wheel signed:
“To the thief”.
Inside there is a note saying:
“Hello idiot! Turn right… SURPRISE!”
pretty clever combination.
*Big smile*
How can I change that image next to my name?
word press.
Gravatar.com is where to go. It ties into the email address you use to register (real easy registration at that) and you can register multiple emails.
Anti-lock brakes… Hummm
And of course, the combination is 1-2-3-4!
“That’s amazing! I have the same combination on my luggage!”
(Yes, I know that “-5″ belongs in that punch line.)
“Set course for Druidia – and change the combination on my luggage!”
That’s odd. This kludge doesn’t look like it was done by a druish mechanic.
You know… Last time i was in the hardware store… bolts were actually cheaper than padlocks…
Lock On: Modern Street Combat
Damn, brakes locked up again.
PHOTOSHOPPED!!!1!
Sorry, just kidding… was reading thru some old posts….
The tyres got a few miles left on them – worth more than the car.
The Jeep is a 2007 and didn’t come with quick disconnect sway bars. After market discos didn’t hold. I think this Jeepster has a great lock on a patent.
WOW, thy could not find a joint to fit huh.
Would have been better just to take the sway bar link off…
It’s not _that_ crucial you couldn’t drive a couple of days without it.
I concur, I disconnected my sway link 2 years ago. I discovered yet another reason why GM shouldn’t be allowed to make cars. [Hollow sway bars with pre-split ends]. I grew tired of the constant grinding noise when I turned so I unbolted the bar and removed it.
Sometimes Zip ties and duct tape just aren’t good enough.
