Crozet damage report.

[Gonzowerke]

Could have been worse, considering the rocks we saw and I have a stock suspension. :D



Oil Pan- About 2.5" shallower due to major dentage. Oil pressure is good, so no pump/pickup damage.

T-box plate-concave enough so I had to remove my XM radio from the ashtray to allow the 2-3 shift to happen.

Diffs-Mainly cosmetic,but some bolt damage.


Gas tank skid- Major grooves and dents.


So, my shopping list includes;
an nth degree oil pan skid and tummy tuck. In the mean time, I'm pulling the factory plate and hammering it out.
rock-it diff gliders front and rear.
as yet to be determined gas tank skid.

Other than a few scuffs on my skid plates, No major damage to report.

Well...mine is not a TJ but I will post here since it's already started....as far as I have seen so far all I did was bend/shear off a u-bolt thread or two. Just the part hanging down that I was gonna cut off anyway so no a big deal. I am shopping for U-Bolt skids as we speak. Also I bent my tail pipe a little...just need to bend it back some. Nothing major. I did notice slightly more wander on the road home...so I think I'll have the front end aligned now.

other than the normal diff scrapes and dents on the gas skid and the only step thats on the jeep suffered a small dent. But I do have a good frt pinion seal leak again?

[Pacifier]

Just in (Damage Report)! I took my Jeep into the dealership, since I noticed a leak on my rear driver side axle, and I found out that somehow a rock got inside the axle seal, thus causing a groove within the axle. Once again, thank God for the warranty, they are replacing the axle for free.

[02tj]

wow! what stealer do you go to?

[Pacifier]

Chantilly.....Hey man! Justa as long as it doesn't cost me a thing, I'm all for it.

That's cool that the dealer is covering that. I find it hard to believe that a rock got in the seal and I find it even harder to believe that your entire axle is junked because of the seal going bad. But that seems to be dealer protocol for fixing a problem.

I had my seals start leaking after a trip to crozet and the dealer wouldnt help me at all cause I had a lift. I fixed it myself by dropping in some chromoly alloy usa axles in. So I guess that I did the overkill method too. :D

The guys from Chantilly have been awesome for the last few years. They have fixed everything that I have destroyed, and have not charged me a penny. Easily, they have probably replaced about $3,000 worth of stuff on my Rubi. Yes! I do have a lift, 33" tires, and bunch of other stuff.

Is that fair oaks that you have been taking it to?

[Pacifier]

Yeap!

[Jagged73]

Yeap!

Sweet. They have always struck me as mod friendly. While service does cost a penny or two the free rentals do help.

So Gonzowerke let me know how you like those rockit diff sliders...i have been eyeballing them for some time....

[Gonzowerke]

Yeah,
I'm doing the oil pan skid first, and the bank likes to get it's mortgage payment, so it may be a month or so before I get them.

I hate being an adult........
