    MF'n update!!!!

    uh, i almost wrecked the Tank on the way home today. took an exit ramp, turned left and the back end just walked out on me. and i heard that lovely "flat tire wobble". from where else but......
    ANOTHER FLAT RIGHT REAR. THATS 2 IN 3 WEEKS. THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS!!!!!
    im allowed to be upset. now, i cant fix it til wednesday, which means i have to drive the broken jeep to work.
    and now i think the Tank is leaking gas. and my power window/door control thing on the driverside doesnt work anymore. the shift selector came off the steering column again.
    and i really really really need a new crank sensor.
    it truly is the never ending cycle.
    there are times when i wish i had the TOJ I back.........

          if i can get the Tank to get to september, i'll be happy. i dont think im gonna be able to keep it on the road much longer. its (unfortunately) becoming a money pit. everything is breaking, and nothing is working. i think the time of the Tank may be up. i go over to the desert for 4 months in september. it'll probably be coming off the road. i cant take the unreliability of it. it sucks in the winter. S-U-C-K-S. especially up here.
          I have:
          -no left rear brakes
          -no egr pipe
          -no cats, the ghetto way
          -no O2 sensors
          -right rear window doesnt work
          -driverside control panel doesnt work
          -needs an alignment
          -crack in the windshield
          -fuel leak (3rd FN one)
          -left rear tire will not come off. im sure its rusted to the axle
          -the transmission issue in this vehicle just blows
          -drivers side door leaks on me
          -clock randomly works
          -sometimes, the wipers turn on for one swipe if you turn left. and if you turn right while they're on, they may turn off

          :-( maybe considering a subaru wagon.
          but atleast i have a marauder that doesnt work....

          disgruntled,

              thats the girlfriends vehicle. it needs a new throttle idle sensor. in the snow, the wheels just keep spinning.
              and i just put my spare tranny into the Tank on tuesday. no fun at all.

But, im in Cali. in the middle of nowhere. 2 hours from LA.
                          Go Tank.

                              the only problem was...anything over 7600ft. the Tank pretty much gave the Rockies the Finger.
                              i wanna go back and drive the rockies in the marauder.
                              but i cant afford all those tickets...
