Just did a good, relaxing drive today. Went from Commerce City, CO (a few miles outside Boulder) to Greenville, Illinois. Took us 15 hours including stopping for fuel, lunch, and dinner to do 900 miles. My Jeep is moving along strong drivetrain wise, but she’s hurting otherwise. Leaking out half the reservoir of power steering fluid every gas stop, steering is almost as loose as it’s ever been, both front hubs are shot, the passenger side ball joints are blown out, my transfer case really enjoys letting me know it’s there under hard acceleration and whenever I hit a bump, and both rear axle seals are leaking. Oh, and yea, it’s getting pretty old getting in and out f the Jeep NASCAR style because the front doors are both stuck shut.
Tomorrow we push on to my step-grandparent’s house in Marion, Ohio for the evening, the in the morning push on to home.
And BTW.. the Sleep Inn here is effing sweet.
Just be happy your jeep isn’t giant like mine.
Have a safe rest of your trip guys!
