[QUOTE="Mr. Bi-Polar, post: 431066"] We've been driving the Jeep for 3 3/4 years and it was time for our annual fall travel to nowhere in particular. We selected Cody Wyoming as our destination this year. This drive would take us north close to Canada's boarder then due west to and through Montana. Mind you I/we don't like driving major highways. back roads are slower but with the drive. Typically driving 10 hours a day, this would have to be pushed up because something happen along the way. We made it to Cody Wyoming. Our Plan was to get to South Dakota badlands Oct 1 for the harvest Moon. One thing I hated about this drive, is if you've live in the plan states, the wind was hell. I had to fight to keep the jeep on the road. What made things worse, was that the year old Drag Link, Tie Rod & Sway Links happen to start to fail. The jeep was drifting all over the road. I'm like what else will go wrong.. and it did. We had to apply the brakes a few times and hard. This locked up the rear passenger side Brake. The worse part, 1 week before we started the trip, we took the jeep to NTB where they rotated the tires. Damned if they didn't they over tighten the lugs we couldn't remove the rear wheel. Had to call triple A and even they couldn't remove the rear wheel. Our trip was getting worse by the minute.. But there was light at the end of the tunnel. it was our hopes to have stopped in Cherokee N.C. but we had to take a side road to my nephew's house where he just so happen to have a shop. Called the night before and he said, get new brake pads, new rotor and brake fluid. I didn't get any pics of the brake install he did, but when he took the rear pads out, they were like paper thin and the rotor was all chewed up. I did allow him to test drive the jeep after the installations and he drove around on their land back behind their house. [ATTACH type="full" alt="imageedit_7_9545589594.jpg"]117079[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
