It appeared the jeep had been rolled end over end , semi repaired and sold. The entire front clip had been replaced as well as the rear axle and all the swing arms with junk yard parts. The jeep had a 3 inch body lift on it at the time of the accident and the entire tub was shifted about 1.5 inches forward and the lift blocks where leaning forward at about a 25 degree angle. This had crushed the bottom of the body that sits on those blocks and let rust start which had eaten all the way through the body support structures to the point the only thing supporting the body is just the single layer of floor pan. Did I mention this jeep was from the rust belt also. Soon a good bump will come along and the body is going to drop 3 inchs down to the frame and the lift blocks will be in the cab with the driver. The brakes are worn out front and rear , it needs all the ball joints and tie rod ends, plus a ton of other crap. 93k on it and it is scrap the new owner bought it a couple of weeks ago in Ohio and didn't get it checked out cause he drove up there to get it because it was such a great deal. That good deal doesn't seem so good now. All to save save 30 minutes and $30. The sad thing is I see crap like this almost weekly.

Ouch, that looks pretty bad! At least your wife recognized that something was wrong and didn't just keep going.Wife said the gearbox on the bush hog started making noises and got hot and stinky so she parked it. It was bone dry when I checked it so I pulled the front off.
Not looking too good for that thing!

I need to do that as I’ve had my current tankless in for around 3 years. Did you see any scale/deposits come out? I installed my first tankless at my old house, which I still have as a rental, around 12 years ago and never descaled it. Still seems to be running strong.
I bought my house 1.5yr ago, it was 4.5yr old and the water heater had never been cleaned. We were having issues getting HOT water to the master bath, farthest point from water heater. I did the vinegar flush and viola! There was a ton of scale (white build up) that came out in the bucket. This time there was only some very fine scale but I had to really look for it.
Painless this will not be. Seriously though I just put that same harness in a 46 gmc pickup with a 5.3 if you get stuck pm me.

I changed the oil on my generator and push mower this spring, does that count? haha. I'm almost as surprised, but like I said, it never made sense to spend $15 in materials when I could pay someone to do it for $20-25 all in. With both of our cars requiring full synthetic now, sure I'll save $120/year (not counting rebates/deals) to do it myself.
