    But it was probaly pretty obvious, I was replacing my break line again along with my master cylynder. Well I was having a bitch of a time getting the front of the line in (it was the one that goes to the back breaks) so, I figgered I would drop the tranfere case skid plate off. Well I got 3 of the bolts out, leaving one in so I could drop it down easily. I am sur ya'll can gues what happened then, Luckily I had the on last bolt in and quick access to a tranny jack. The good news is that my breaks work about 95 percent better.

    I still have a bit o air in the lines because one of my bleeder screws is siezed in place so I had to bleed from the line, but that will have to wait til I get paid again.

    Sorry bout that, it is hard to lay under my jeep an take a good picture, plus my camera wont take a clear pic that close up. They look better in the thumbnail size.

    oh ok! gotcha....

    yea i guess that could startly you if you arent expecting it!

    a jack stand under the t-case or trans (were ever it will fit) is always a good safety measure!

    Most digital cameras have a macro mode (normally the little flower icon) for taking really closeup pics.

    Not to be rude, but who was supposed to tell you? Good thing you or someone else was not hurt.

    Oh I am not saying some one should have, I just thought it was a nice witty title.


    And your telling me, the jeep was about 6 feet in the air on a lift when it happened, I am just glad I left that on bolt in.
