As mentioned early in this thread, an inexpensive alternative to new bumper with integrated D-ring mounts would be a trailer hitch mounted D-ring such as these: Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Afterwards we ran across an old salt tram on top of the mountain which was used to pull salt from the Saline Valley up to the top and down the other side to be taken by burros to a train for processing Towards the end of the trail, we saw this old ghost town/mine All in all, we traveled over...

Reward Mine Trail Ride & Camping 5/3-5 Sorry for the wait, been swamped at work and home. So Astroman (Jim), TND333 (Tom) and I met in Chowchilla on Friday morning 5/3. We headed south on 99 with no real plan other than visiting the Reward Mine on Saturday. So we all decided to explore...

So went camping at Chimney Peak Recreation Area near Lake Isabella with Astroman & TND333 on Friday night and in the morning we found these bear tracks not too far from our camp. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Another option would be to find a bolt with a 17mm head (or slightly larger and grind it down) and bend it like this one. Off the top of my head, don’t know how much clearance you have to work with. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

I fixed it myself and avoided the insurance route. I still need to pull up the charred hood insulation and repaint the area that got nuked, but I’m in no rush. Thanks everyone! Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Completed all my engine fire repairs, pulled the roof & doors and installed a Spider Webshade. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Finally got the Jeep back on the road today. Replaced all the melted stuff (plastic fuel line, both vapor lines, heater hoses) and all plastic wiring loom under the hood. Changed spark plugs & wires since wires were charred a bit and both were due at 100k miles. Runs great! Sent from my iPhone...

Fabricated a headache rack for one of my son’s friend. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Planning a trip from NorCal down to the Reward Mine just north of Lone Pine. Leaving Friday, 5/3 in the morning and returning on Sunday, 5/5. Planning on camping two nights at one or two lakes in the area. So far Astroman, TDN333 and me are going. Anyone interested? Sent from my iPhone using...

I believe a blown heater hose melted a plastic fuel line. There’s more details in another thread. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Can anyone ID this clip/tie strap that holds the wiring harness to the firewall? I want to cut several of these to recover the harness, but would like to know if I can replace them first, otherwise I’ll try to disassemble them which is a PIA. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

But would 220 degree coolant melt that fuel line? It is plastic, but you’d think Mopar engineers factored that in the design... Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Ok, so need some feedback from you guys on my “theory” on how my engine fire started. Keep in mind that I had just left my house in about 55 degree temps, was about two miles away getting onto the freeway when I noticed a bunch of white smoke coming from behind me. If you look at the picture...

Yes, do it and consider something larger than a 3# FE. Mine emptied fast! Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

I’m leaning towards having the insurance fix it, but I’m afraid they may total it? It’s a 2008 with 102k miles. I read that other post about the tree harpooning the Jeep and it was totaled. Makes me nervous... Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Nuked mine, anyone have one laying around? Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

My extinguisher was in the back too. I popped the hood and saw flames and thought, o shit, ran to the back to grab the extinguisher. I used up the entire FE on this small fire. If it had been larger, the Jeep would have burnt to the ground. I’m getting a larger FE this time and considering...
