Well to be honest, UNC Rubicon's Jeep had a serious weld failure so I'd be careful about it.

FCA Issuing Massive Recall After Jeep Wrangler Frame Welds Fail In High Numbers
Actually I'm pretty sure Ralph has pictures he took of Blanche and Wrikki showing our welds for that spot. I just looked at Wrikki and I can't even find where the stupid weld is supposed to be now. @Ralph2018JL can show the shots so Trina can at least go look at Lagertha to compare. Our welds looked good even tho Blanche shows up needing to be checked.

oh yeah, my steering intermediate shaft recall was complete before they even had parts, as they checked it and it needed no work.

Thank you! I’d appreciate that!

That is a serious weld failure..HOLY HELL!
With the video as your guide, you can at least go check Lagertha to see if she looks ok for now.

@Smarrtazz , wrong side of the Jeep. Here's what you wanna do. Start up Lagertha and turn the wheel all the way left. Then look at the driver side in front of the spring. You'll see what I have here in this picture. Notice the white line showing that someone inspected it.

You could do it any time Chris. Just need scissors. 5 minute fix. Snip hose, insert valve. done
Duly noted. But if I order a bunch of parts and they all get shipped up north, might be easier to just have them throw that in the box. :piggybank::piggybank::piggybank:

That's mud for me. Haven't cleaned her since our last mountain adventure.
