Just received notificafion today that my harness is being shipped back. Haven’t messed with the Jeep at all since back in June when I received the info that the harness wouldn’t be ready. Just got back from Colorado last week, had an eventful trip but was well worth it! Pulled me and my dads LJ’s out there. Had three blowouts on the way out there so had opportunity to stimulate the Colorado economy while there and buy new tires! Fortunately I had four spares!
On the way home just before the Colorado/Kansas border the truck downshifted then shifted back then downshifted again really hard and was stuck In fourth gear all the way across Kansas. So needless to say I rolled through several stoplights to avoid completely stopping.
It didn’t stop there either! Last Saturday morning when I was unloading everything I pulled the half doors off my LJ and had walked about 30 feet with it. I was carrying it by the soft upper (I now regret that decision) but as difficult as the uppers are to get off I’ve never had any issue carrying them that way. Lesson learned though! As I took one more step and was in process of setting it down the half door separated from the upper and landed on my big toe. I took off and tried to outrun the pain but it didn’t work, once I was inside and worked up the nerve to take my sock off I knew it was more than a smashed nail. It pretty much peeled all the skin off my big toe, basically de-gloved it. Went to ER and they end up putting stitches through my nail to hold it all together. It’s gnarly, I’ll save you guys the pain and not share the pictures here....haha.
But considering all the issues I’d go back to Colorado tomorrow if I could! Currently planning to go back with a group of buddies around Labor Day like we did last year. Not sure where we will land this year, last year we ran around Buena Vista. Carnage canyon and Chinaman were the notables.
