What that hanging from the bottom of my Wrangler?

Oh...just a shock absorber hanging there, with a half a rusted chunk of mount hanging there with it.  Dammit.   It never ends.

That sounds like the Jeeps I remember  =)
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

Just break if off if the mount is busted anyway.  Who needs shocks?

Funny thing is I was thinking that it was running and handling better than ever. Went to Target to pick up a few things, was walking back to the jeep, thinking to myself- that's a damn fine looking vehicle, then noticed something dangling under it. It's like a crack or gambling addiction, I should blow it up.

I'm in the local 4x4 club.  It is pretty funny, the jeep guys are always breaking something or other on their rigs on a trail.  Us land cruiser guys....  don't.

As they say, JEEP=Just Empty Every Pocket.
I can't say that this stuff is unexpected though, it's seen 22 northern winters. Untimely though, for sure.
Just when I stretch the budget to fix one thing, another thing happens.
