Well I made the 1200 miles back to BC from Las Vegas. Had the Ujoint blow up on me but had a very helpful Samaritan stop and offer his assistance. This guy (Steve) ran ahead, bought the parts and let me use his garage to fix it. Back on the road 2 hours after I got there. My Premier AAA membership paid for itself that day.
Was a little disappointed with all the rust, since I need to pass a insurance inspection and there cant be any rust or holes. But a bit of fiberglass, sheet metal and elbow grease and I think I am almost ready for the inspection.
I dealt with Omar and John at Safe Auto Care in Vegas, and although I spent more than I thought I would they fixed it up good. All stuff I would of had to do before passing inspection up here, back brakes, hoses, belts, all fluids and trans serviced. I picked it up from them Saturday afternoon and after dropping off the rental I saw a good leak coming from the front diff seal. Took it back to them as they closed and at first they said they couldn't do anything until Monday. I only had a leave pass until Tuesday night so I pleaded my case and one of there guys stayed late and John went and got the part. I big thumbs up to them.
My bondo and fiberglass job aint pretty but I just want it to pass inspection so I can get this Ugly Beast on the road. And hopefully offroad next weekend.
Just wanted to thank all the regulars for all the awesome posts and info you guys have on here, I have spent the last couple weeks reading as much as I can. Gleaning from the Veteran 09 owners, thanks.
Here's a couple pictures before I started to clean her up. I know how you guys like pics
