I got my 1993 jeep xj on a saturday and in 4 days I broke 3 things.
Sunday: I want to show off my new toy to my friends so I gather 4 buddies and 4
suv's van's and pickup's and head out to the fields. I start off testing the
roll limits of my jeep with turns and skids. I end up doing doughnuts so hard
that I dig 12 inch ruts in the ground with a dirt cloud a 1/4 mile high (not my
first time in a 4x4) and the exhaust falls off!!! To make matters worse my power
steering high pressure hose cracks and is spraying fluid all over my engine. So
I limp home and order the hose.
Tuesday: I get the hose and install it fill it with fluid and take it for a
spin....(literally)
I pick up a couple different buddies and go to the same field and do more of
those doughnuts. I eventually get to the point where I dont have to turn the
wheel Im just spinning on a dime(like a monster truck). When I look down at my
gauge cluster my thermostat jumps one full rotation from 3/4 and My radiator
explodes. So I call my friend with a wrangler 4x4 and he pulls me to my friends
house that owns the land I was on and it sits there over night. In the morning I
have it towed to my house where I check to see if the motor is siezed (its not)
and pull the radiator out. it turns out the radiator was clogged to hell and
wasnt flowing coolant to the engine. so its off the junk yards to get a radiator
and then the field to break somethng else!!!
