Title: The ZJ is dead!
Post by: Shaggy on March 26, 2013, 09:27:05 AM
Well as Jedi as kept this one quiet, I will fill you all in, my ZJ is dead!! :banghead: I aren't sure yet what the damage is or how it has happened :017:, I need to get the box out & assess the damage. The flex plate is smashed & doesn't appear to be fastened to anything, either the crank or torque converter, there aren't any bolts in the end of the crank :017:. The box I feel is fooked too :banghead: Worst case scenario if the end of the crank is damaged, which I feel might be with the amount of broken metal thats about, plus flex plate, torque converter & box, she is going to ZJ heaven!!
My other half is having an op tomo so I am at home for a good week or so to be here for her & the kids as it's easter so I will get it stripped & then most probably cry at the repair bill!
If it is as bad as I first fear there is going to be alot of ZJ off road goodies up for sale, everything except the BFG's as I know Jedi wants them for his WJ!
& due to parts prices I might defect back to the dark side :icon_redface:

Cheers mate, but the 6 most certainly doesn't love me! I'm quite glad to have a few days away from it to look after Toni! I need to get my enthusiasm back for it, the way it's testing my patience! :banghead: At least your wallet hasn't anymore big hits to take as far as the 6 is concerned! :098:
