A very very sad day for me and my jeep

[Jeepster05]

I wheeling with a guy in a dodge and a guy with a chevy (Both huge). I did fine on the trails but after i got on the road I could smell the brakes. pulled over in a little ghetto and took the tire off nice place to be being that the back of the dodge was covered in confederate flags [img]modules/phpBB_14/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif[/img] Got t he tire of and old mud got the calliper stuck. Instead of calling a tow truck I called my dad and he brought my tow bracket. hooked up to the dodge and had to suffer the whole way home.

This happens to one of my calipers every time I get in the mud. Just remove it, spray wd40 around the piston, and run the piston back in with a c-clamp. This will fix it until you get in the mud again [img]modules/phpBB_14/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif[/img]



If you run with the caliper frozen, it will generate a LOT of heat, even if it's flat-towed [img]modules/phpBB_14/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img] [addsig]
