death wobble...

[JoeNitro]

i was in the middle lane on 95 this morning in new haven and hit a "bump". the front end went into catastrophic melt down. the worst death wobble ive ever felt and i couldent stop it worth a shit. as i pulled over to the break down lane the truck shut off. i was like ok wtf. i tried starting it but it just turned over and i had 0 oil pressure. i got out popped the hood and the pass motor mount had been sheered off the block. the bolts snapped out in the block. the motor had dropped and smashed the alternator, broke the oil filter housing off the block, and smashed the distributer. i got it towed back to my house. after some thought i was like fuck this, and took the truck completely apart. its sitting in the driveway on stock lift and tires. im getting a motor 150k for $100 and swapping it in so i have a car for the meantime. im selling off all my shit. see "JoeNitro XJ part out" in for sale section.

ill get pics tmr of the damage.

Wow thats alot of shit to fix but a bit extreme in my opinion to give it up. Too each his own i guess.

sorry joe that sucks

[XJLI]

stock motor mounts? too much lift was your problem.

sucky situation nonetheless.

[Adam]

Wow, thats a pretty awful series of events. I probably would have slept on it before I tore my entire jeep apart though.

[crosbike]

I did the same thing at coy hill minus all that damage. bummer.

[Riot]

no more wheeling? o_o

I'd sleep on it... and keep it @ 3.5" of lift. Would still leave you with some parts to sell... in order to pay for new engine and new motor mounts.

Dont sell anything yet. I was ready to scrap my truck this weekend because it was giving me a hard time. Sleep on it anbd see if you really want to get rid of everythjing.
