Virtual Jeeper needs help in Sycamore Creek

[Bustedknuckles5]

At 5pm on 10-04 I stumbled upon a virtual jeeper that is broke down, he told me his name on the site but now that i am in front of my computer i am not sure his name, i believe it is ShmUDE or sounds similar. Any way he is going to need a right front turning knuckle he has broken the wheel assembly off completely, and a right front brake hose to get him out of there without a flatbed. He had a cell phone and was in touch with someone but he asked me to post up on the site, so if anybody can help him out i am sure he will greatly appreciate it. I broke a torque side motor mount on the second hill i was playing on so i had to limp out as well.
He did have another jeeper and jeep with him, so he is not completely stranded but i am sure he doesnt want to leave his rig there. He is at the bottom about a mile upstream from the large play hill at the main road into the creek bottom.
Good luck and i will check on this thread a couple of times through out the evening and early morning if you need a good wrench in the morning i will be glad to help out.

Peace Out, Bustedknuckles

Thanks for the update Adam, now i can relax the rest of the evening without wondering if he found the help he needed. :pleased::2thumbsup:

[ademster]

He called me se veral times but I was with a customer and couldnt answer...


then I realized the number was him and then it dawned on me that he was out wheeling and it must have been a emergency because the call count

[scully]

Let me know if he needs a knuckle (pass side), I should have one kicking around in the garage.

[ademster]

Im sure he will need it Scully!

Get with him tomorrow when he is home, I dont know if he is going to bring the jeep here or what!

[grateful]

Awesome Job guys!!

[ademster]

Just talked with Russ, they are on their way home, Russ is bring Ty's jeep to his for a slumber party for the night...

Im sure someone has pictures... I will get a better update once Russ gets home, if they post up before hand.

[ademster]

They should be home with-in the next 30 mins, I am going to bed, been a long day!

[brian lujan]

so everything is good.

[russ1688]

Everything is good. Just got home.

Bill brought his Super Duty, trailer and son, Ben. We met and headed over. We found Shmude after a little hunting.

He had a fun day. Pass side front axle shaft was sheared at the inner splines AND the out shaft. The knuckle was broken. By the time we arrived they had it all apart, had a nice campfire going, and set up a tarp as protection from the rain.

It took the better part of an hour to get it up onto the trailer in the pouring rain. We then headed out. They decided to take the Heep and trailer to Shmude's storage and leave it there.

Even given the weather it was a good recovery. Everyone was in a good mood, no one got hurt, and it got me out of the house. :D

I didn't take any pics but Bill did. I'm sure he'll post up later.

[ademster]

awesome, glad i was able assist on getting you out of the house

[ShmUDE]

Nice job, once again, helping out a member in need! Sycamore, on a weekend, is absolutely not a place to leave your broken rig unattended. I heard about the breakdown from Lorin (Bustedknuckles5) when he called me to check in-home safe. He told me that while he was under his hood realizing the broken mount, ShmUDE actually stopped to make sure Lorin was ok even though he had already suffered the first half of his front axle damage. Then Lorin & family caught up to ShmUDE fully broke down on the way out. So, hat's off to you too, ShumUDE! Hope you get it fixed quickly without having to spend a lot. Looks like you had a couple of the best rescuers come get you.

Hey Lorin, I have a replacement motor mount for you. I'm running the 1" MML and I still have the original mounts in my box-o-parts. I think it's compatible so I'll bring it by in a little while.

[RokNRich]

Good stuff guys !

[wild mustang]

love the pics and glad everyone is out safely. hope the repairs go smoothly...

[My Green Jeep]

VJC MEMBERS ROCK! :2thumbsup:

[cosninocanines]

Glad all is well looks like the small roll of paper (1st pic) needs replacing while your at it:laugh2:

[mike]

Dang Ty, when you break you make sure it is a good one :aagh: Glad to see you got it out ok.

[Bustedknuckles5]

Glad you got it home ShmUDE hope to see you on the trail again sometime soon without any of the breakage though

Thanks for the offer for the mounts Dave, Monday at work I ordered a mount and i needed to do a ignition tune up as well so I ordered cap and rotor and plug wires, no plugs already installed them a few months back, and when I went up to the parts manager to pay for them he whispers to me "dont worry about it I buried the cost of the parts in with some other lot cars" but I am not suppose to tell anybody about that so Shhhhhhhhhhhhh.

L8rs all time to head to the shower then bed.

Glad you got it home ShmUDE hope to see you on the trail again sometime soon without any of the breakage though

everything is good. I have all the parts to fix it and hopefully will have it all installed tomorrow. I just need to warranty the broken shafts and im set.
