[QUOTE="Nuzzy, post: 957097, member: 15952"] Here's how my day went: Leaving camp engine won't start - wire has pulled out end connected to coil Driving to Funny notice front dshaft is wobbly - ubolt stripped holding joint in and was lucky AMJ had a spare :cool: Climbing a fun ledge at Moon and the engine is sputtering through repeated attemtps/then finally wont even crank - find main battery cable has pulled out of end attatched to solenoid/also later on Robin was helping tune the lean running propane when discovering a vac line to the brake booster had pulled free Fix the cable and start to drive away when no steering - pin fell out holding the ram pin in place so ram was no longer attached Make it back to Funny and while climbing a ledge by the tree find that the alternator is smashing into the winch battery cable on the frame destroying it and causing sparks to fly - Electrical tape over the cable and re route it to clear problem area Continue driving up obstacle and make it up when coolant starts spewing - engine torqued fan into radiator destroying both Limp back to camp with engine idling (had to since couldn't steer full hydro well enough with engine off) and engine dies coasting into camp - will see extent of damage later with compression test and such I have the material to make all new motor and tranny mounts but have been holding off til I have time to finish the flat belly. Instead, I put on brand new stock rubber mounts before the trip that I'd hoped would last for another few wheelin trips. Problem was, the actual metal portion of the mount failed. Almost every thing that happened could be traced back to the god damn drive train moving around too much once that mount failed :mad::mad::mad: [/QUOTE]
