Jeep Transmission DISASTER!

hey, don't blame me honcho!!!

he he

Really though, it is a good idea as I have read a few posts on the other clubs website where they have had serious tranny overheating issue due to the stock tranny cooler. It just isn't built for these temps, especially when you have bigger tires and carry a load of recovery gear in soft sand!

Sorry if I cost you money, even if it was inadvertantly, but you will be happy with it in the long run mate. a few pennies now saves a few thousand later, just make sure they show you how it was mounted so if you spring a leak you can take it back and show them what is wrong, otherwise they may try and do you out of the warrantey on that too!

Isn't Amin kermit from the other club?

hey Paul,

sorry bout ure ride bro! u know under normal circumstances FJ owners would have had a field day cuz another jeep is down, but at the end of the day it aint funny the kind of money u put into ure ride and you miss out on trips!

And I was just about to tell you and blaze that your kind aint welcome in discussions of such high calliber, but you have proven me wrong. So you do have some consideration in you other than for your little rice rocket gal pals!

hey c'mon tintin, it aint like that bro, abit of leg pulling is fun but everythign is fun within limits rite? best to stop before thins take a more personal turn!
and every car has its strong points and weak ones!
i admit that the one major flaw with the FJ is the visibility! more painful when side slopping!

Hey Tintin,

just jesting - you did cost me more bucks... but your advice is appreciated and sure to keep me out of the garage....

cheers

oh yea - Amine is from a little incy wincy club called AD4x4.. Someone mentioned them once...

ha ha, I know mate. All jokes aside though. You will definately benefit from having the aux cooler, just make sure they give you awarrantey fo some kind for that too. Nothing worse than adding extra stuff that fails and has no warrantey! Especially at them bloody prices!

Agreed, but it serves well coz we, on the outside cant see in who's driving!!
Good for the driver coz it's so bloody ugly, if the visibility was better the driver would be continuously crying having spent hard earned cash on a face only a mother could love!!!!

Again, no hijack or prelude to war intended, just a bit of leg pulling!!!!!

Paul, its good to hear that Amin is treating you well, we have a long relationship with Western Motors and we get prefferencial service there. It's also good to hear that there was a lowering kit installed when it was modded, many forget little things like that which leads to major failures, then end up blaming the vehicle. It seems as tho yours was modded properly.
The tranny cooler is obviously the way to go, it'll keep u off the sand for the coming weekend, but will keep u out there in the long-run for the upcoming full-day trips.
