    Default Hey gang, I'm still here



    Just wanted to pop in and say hello.... I know I've been missing in action all summer. I've been playing with my Corvette while its in season and unfortunately my Jeep is out of commission until I figure out the rear drivers side brake seizing issue I was having with it in the beginning of summer when I tried wheeling' with my son. Then Sawyer killed his battery and I put my brand new Omega yellow top in his Jeep so now my jeep is battery-less and broke down until I figure it out or haul it to a shop to fix or replace the caliper and then do a bunch of other upgrades like new ball joints, new u-joints and upgraded axle shafts in addition to new suspension joints all around. I'm thinking I may just do the second, expensive option because I'm lazy and don't want to deal with working on the Jeep in my dirt driveway..... I've done enough of that over the last few years.

    So, I'm hoping to be back up and running with the Jeep in the next couple months, once the weather starts getting cold and wet

    I'll then start being that annoying guy who wheels every weekend again

    See you soon!!!

    Your ears were burning from us talking about you on the Deer Creek run last Saturday?

    What seizing are you having? I might try the easy option of replacing the rubber / flex hose that connects to the caliper first - internal failure can cause fluid to enter but not exit causing a seize condition. 0.02

    I've wondered where you've been all summer. Glad to hear you're doing ok.
