Subject: Please Help... Leaky Jeep
The last two days now I have gone out to my 97TJ, with the 4 banger, to get
something I left in it, out and noticed a large
amount of water under it. The first day was after heavy rains so I ignored
it. Today I have it again.
The leak is coming out of a small hose protruding from the firewall, on the
passengers side, near the bottom. It has been
just cold enough to run the heater, could this be some condensation from
running the heater? To me ther is way too much
water on the ground for that. What would that hose be coming from other than
the heater?
Please help... don't want my TJ to leak to death.
Thanks
Chris

Newer vehicles will quite often run the a/c compressor with the heater/defroster
to take moisture out. My Toyota truck does this. If it is water then don't worry
about it. Sometimes in humid weather I get quite a bit of drainage. If it is
condensation, it should only drain for a few minutes when you shut the engine
off.

Subject: New job etc.
Hey all,
I am starting a new and MUCH better paying job here in about 2 weeks. Finally I will be able to start getting my Jeep back in a completly reliable state. I had been missing most runs for quite a while now because of lack of funds. My Jeep has been slowly falling into disrepair. Well, no more. First thing on the list, a tranny rebuild. Any Suggestions?! Ken is your dad's shop open?

Subject: Re: Rubicon Jeep Jamboree
I have never gone to the Rubicon Jambo, however I have done the
Rubicon. I would say that its maybe a 3.5 trail for the most part.
You can certainley make it as hard as you want to, but there are few
obstacles that are absolutely required. Last time I was there Chrysler
was running 20 stock TJ's through there and well they piled a lot of
rocks, but it didnt look like there was too much damage. Id say you're
probably setup for it, but I would recommend rocker panel protection.
The entrance to the trail at Loon Lake will beat them otherwise.

The TJ does also. I thought I had the same problem.
kick on the defroster and you will see the compressor
clutch ingauge, change to heat and it turns off.

It is this really cool, or hot depending on how you look at it, feature
installed in most vehicles. When you turn in it on, you can select the
tempature to your liking and it will heat up the vehicle, inside only, to
your liking. You can reduce the temp if it begins to get to warm. It is
the opposite of air conditioning. It works much the same way your house
heating and cooling system works. It is also only necessary when your wife
is carpooling with you to work.

Hum, Lets see the spider gears(pinion) rotates around the side
gears,
and there is a ratio here, it is not one to one(1:1)
What I am trying to get at here is for a open diff if you spin one tire
one revolution, and the ring and pinion ratio is 3.08:1, then the
driveshaft will not turn a little over 3 times, you are leaving out
the ratio of the spider gears(pinion) to the side gears.
Try it and do the math you will see.

Just my opinion, but I think you're wrong. There are 2 spider gears and 2 side gears. The 2 spider gears will rotate around the stationary side gear at the same speed. There is no reduction or ratio in this. Now, if you were to jack BOTH wheels off the ground, turn the pinion, you will see one tire spin backwards and one tire spin forward. It is in this situation, I believe, if there were a reduction or ratio for spider gears to side gears, it would become apparent. Hay, Have a great day. I'm going to the Rock Crawling Championships.

Subject: Re: Fwd: 4X4 MEETING
Ever notice how with an open diff, when one wheel stops, the other wheel spins twice as fast?
This is because of the spider gears. With an open diff, one wheel on the ground, count the
number of turns of the drive-shaft then divide by 2. If you have a locker, like a Detroit, you have
to jack up both wheels, turn one wheel (the other will turn by itself) and count the number of
turns of the drive-shaft. With one wheel on the ground, the locker might release, allowing the
wheel to spin semi-freely (a clicking noise can be heard, and you can feel it in the tire). If you
have a limited slip that still uses spider gears, it would be easiest to jack both wheels and have
a friend help you turn the other tire, while you turn yours.
Hope this helps,

Subject: Got Into An Accident ...
Well today on my way home from work I got rear ended by a red BMW 313i. The
lady driving blew through a stop sign (in front of a Police Office since
people always ignore that stop sign) and proceeded to embed the front of her
6 day old BMW onto my trailer hitch. Not even a scratch on my custom
bumper. She couldn't get her car to start up again and I think it was
because her car was about 6 inches shorter than it used to be and my hitch
was through her radiator. The policeman walked over and to make a long
story short, I pulled her radiator out of her car with my hitch while
getting the Jeep free so after some assistance with the officer we got the
radiator off the hitch and I was sent on my way while she waited for a tow
truck. When she hit me I think my heart stopped thinking what did she do to
my truck. I am happy to report no damage even after crawling under and
checking out the frame and gas tank. I feel sorry for her new car though.
She was a little upset that her airbags didn't go off since she hit me at
about 35MPH and I was going about 15 since I had just turned the corner.

Glad that your rig is ok, but the important thing is that YOU are
ok........you can buy parts for the Jeep - it's not that easy to fix you.
Isn't it nice to have a solidly built vehicle? I had a lowered mini truck
try to park under my truck last summer - the receiver hitch opened up the
front of his truck like a can opener. All it did to my truck was scrape
some of the rust off of the hitch. :-)

TJ,
The fol.,lowing is from Linda's directions posted on Sunday as message
6204. It includes a map in PDF format. We will be driving up Friday
afternoon from Tucson. Hope to see you out there.
Rick Buddrus
Text of Linda's post follows............
Hi All,
I drove out the the Jamboree campsitejust as the National Guard was
leaving. They like to drive down the middle of the road and high speeds.
It's a good thing it was raining!
The Jamboree site looks great. I spent some time driving around it and
finally decided on the far east end. The campsite is easy to find and
can handle a large group including trailers, motor homes, etc.. It is
far enough off the road so that dust won't be a problem. Plenty of trees
for privacy and hanging solar showers.
Here's the directions.
Starting at Florence Junction (US60 and Hwy 79) go south (5.5 miles) to
Cottonwood Canyon Rd. Cottonwood Canyon Rd is just south of milepost
145 on the east side of Hwy 79. The entrance to the road is marked
with a flag pole. It is very easy to miss in the dark.
Go east on Cottonwood Canyon Rd. There is a fork in the road (3 miles).
Stay to the right. The road gets a little narrower and more washboard.
There are several entrances into the Jambore site on the left side of
the road after the fork. I think the first two are the easiest and
probably the best choices if you are coming in with a motorhome, large
travel trailer or car trailer. The next two have wash crossings that are
a little too steep.
After you enter the Jamboree site, head east. There isn't a road or
anything but there is plenty of room to maneuver. We'll be camped at the
far east end of the site.
I have attached a map in PDF file format. I hope it works.
I'll be camping there Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. I am not
sure what would be a good meeting time or place, but I would like to set
up camp before dark. My idea is to meet at the Texaco Thursday at
5:00pm and head out to the campsite. Sound good? I can also hang white
plastic markers (plastic grocery bags) on Cottonwood Canyon Rd to help
anyone who is coming out after dark find the campsite. If you are coming
out on Friday or Saturday, just head out to the contest and look for the
dark blue ZJ. I don't know where the event route is but I will be at one
of the obstacles.
Ted: I don't know who is volunteering from the Lo-Rangers, but if any
are planning on camping out this will probably be the least 'zoo-like'
place.

Subject: Please Help... Leaky Jeep
The last two days now I have gone out to my 97TJ, with the 4 banger, to get
something I left in it, out and noticed a large
amount of water under it. The first day was after heavy rains so I ignored
it. Today I have it again.
The leak is coming out of a small hose protruding from the firewall, on the
passengers side, near the bottom. It has been
just cold enough to run the heater, could this be some condensation from
running the heater? To me ther is way too much
water on the ground for that. What would that hose be coming from other than
the heater?
Please help... don't want my TJ to leak to death.
Thanks
Chris

Newer vehicles will quite often run the a/c compressor with the heater/defroster
to take moisture out. My Toyota truck does this. If it is water then don't worry
about it. Sometimes in humid weather I get quite a bit of drainage. If it is
condensation, it should only drain for a few minutes when you shut the engine
off.

Hey all,
I am starting a new and MUCH better paying job here in about 2 weeks. Finally I will be able to start getting my Jeep back in a completly reliable state.

I have never gone to the Rubicon Jambo, however I have done the
Rubicon. I would say that its maybe a 3.5 trail for the most part.
You can certainley make it as hard as you want to, but there are few
obstacles that are absolutely required. Last time I was there Chrysler
was running 20 stock TJ's through there and well they piled a lot of
rocks, but it didnt look like there was too much damage. Id say you're
probably setup for it, but I would recommend rocker panel protection.
The entrance to the trail at Loon Lake will beat them otherwise.

kick on the defroster and you will see the compressor
clutch ingauge, change to heat and it turns off.

It is this really cool, or hot depending on how you look at it, feature
installed in most vehicles. When you turn in it on, you can select the
tempature to your liking and it will heat up the vehicle, inside only, to
your liking. You can reduce the temp if it begins to get to warm. It is
the opposite of air conditioning. It works much the same way your house
heating and cooling system works. It is also only necessary when your wife
is carpooling with you to work.

Hum, Lets see the spider gears(pinion) rotates around the side
gears,
and there is a ratio here, it is not one to one(1:1)
What I am trying to get at here is for a open diff if you spin one tire
one revolution, and the ring and pinion ratio is 3.08:1, then the
driveshaft will not turn a little over 3 times, you are leaving out
the ratio of the spider gears(pinion) to the side gears.
Try it and do the math you will see.

Just my opinion, but I think you're wrong. There are 2 spider gears and 2 side gears. The 2 spider gears will rotate around the stationary side gear at the same speed. There is no reduction or ratio in this. Now, if you were to jack BOTH wheels off the ground, turn the pinion, you will see one tire spin backwards and one tire spin forward. It is in this situation, I believe, if there were a reduction or ratio for spider gears to side gears, it would become apparent. Hay, Have a great day. I'm going to the Rock Crawling Championships.

Subject: Re: Fwd: 4X4 MEETING
Ever notice how with an open diff, when one wheel stops, the other wheel spins twice as fast?
This is because of the spider gears. With an open diff, one wheel on the ground, count the
number of turns of the drive-shaft then divide by 2. If you have a locker, like a Detroit, you have
to jack up both wheels, turn one wheel (the other will turn by itself) and count the number of
turns of the drive-shaft. With one wheel on the ground, the locker might release, allowing the
wheel to spin semi-freely (a clicking noise can be heard, and you can feel it in the tire). If you
have a limited slip that still uses spider gears, it would be easiest to jack both wheels and have
a friend help you turn the other tire, while you turn yours.
Hope this helps,

Subject: Got Into An Accident ...
Well today on my way home from work I got rear ended by a red BMW 313i. The
lady driving blew through a stop sign (in front of a Police Office since
people always ignore that stop sign) and proceeded to embed the front of her
6 day old BMW onto my trailer hitch. Not even a scratch on my custom
bumper. She couldn't get her car to start up again and I think it was
because her car was about 6 inches shorter than it used to be and my hitch
was through her radiator. The policeman walked over and to make a long
story short, I pulled her radiator out of her car with my hitch while
getting the Jeep free so after some assistance with the officer we got the
radiator off the hitch and I was sent on my way while she waited for a tow
truck. When she hit me I think my heart stopped thinking what did she do to
my truck. I am happy to report no damage even after crawling under and
checking out the frame and gas tank. I feel sorry for her new car though.
She was a little upset that her airbags didn't go off since she hit me at
about 35MPH and I was going about 15 since I had just turned the corner.

Glad that your rig is ok, but the important thing is that YOU are
ok........you can buy parts for the Jeep - it's not that easy to fix you.
Isn't it nice to have a solidly built vehicle? I had a lowered mini truck
try to park under my truck last summer - the receiver hitch opened up the
front of his truck like a can opener. All it did to my truck was scrape
some of the rust off of the hitch. :-)

TJ,
The fol.,lowing is from Linda's directions posted on Sunday as message
6204. It includes a map in PDF format. We will be driving up Friday
afternoon from Tucson. Hope to see you out there.
Rick Buddrus
Text of Linda's post follows............
Hi All,
I drove out the the Jamboree campsitejust as the National Guard was
leaving. They like to drive down the middle of the road and high speeds.
It's a good thing it was raining!
The Jamboree site looks great. I spent some time driving around it and
finally decided on the far east end. The campsite is easy to find and
can handle a large group including trailers, motor homes, etc.. It is
far enough off the road so that dust won't be a problem. Plenty of trees
for privacy and hanging solar showers.
Here's the directions.
Starting at Florence Junction (US60 and Hwy 79) go south (5.5 miles) to
Cottonwood Canyon Rd. Cottonwood Canyon Rd is just south of milepost
145 on the east side of Hwy 79. The entrance to the road is marked
with a flag pole. It is very easy to miss in the dark.
Go east on Cottonwood Canyon Rd. There is a fork in the road (3 miles).
Stay to the right. The road gets a little narrower and more washboard.
There are several entrances into the Jambore site on the left side of
the road after the fork. I think the first two are the easiest and
probably the best choices if you are coming in with a motorhome, large
travel trailer or car trailer. The next two have wash crossings that are
a little too steep.
After you enter the Jamboree site, head east. There isn't a road or
anything but there is plenty of room to maneuver. We'll be camped at the
far east end of the site.
I have attached a map in PDF file format. I hope it works.
I'll be camping there Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. I am not
sure what would be a good meeting time or place, but I would like to set
up camp before dark. My idea is to meet at the Texaco Thursday at
5:00pm and head out to the campsite. Sound good? I can also hang white
plastic markers (plastic grocery bags) on Cottonwood Canyon Rd to help
anyone who is coming out after dark find the campsite. If you are coming
out on Friday or Saturday, just head out to the contest and look for the
dark blue ZJ. I don't know where the event route is but I will be at one
of the obstacles.
Ted: I don't know who is volunteering from the Lo-Rangers, but if any
are planning on camping out this will probably be the least 'zoo-like'
place.
