When Jeeps Attack

Post by HOOT »

My J20 has been a driveway fixture since early this year. Normally I have the wheels chocked because the E brake is undone and the parking pawl works when it wants. So 2 weekends ago I bring the J10 home. I steal the wheel chock from the J20, because I'm too lazy to go get another good one, and use it for loading the J10 onto the trailer to bring it home. The rear wheels on the J20 were locked up when I tried to move it last month.

That all changed Tuesday as I was about to leave for work. I heard a pop then a crunch. I looked out the window but could not see the driveway from the window. I get my stuff and head out the door to find my J20 has attacked my F350.

Neighbor was on her porch across the street when it happened. She said no one was around the truck at all. When I looked in the cab I noticed where I had apparently left the transfer case in neutral when I was trying to get it to roll last month. I thought the tranny locked up so I tried the transfer but found out afterwards it was the wheel itself. So I jacked it up moved it back and sat it back down. Lucky for me the F350 was there instead of buying the neighbor a new car or worse yet one of the kids get smashed in between.
Lesson learned. Looks like the J20 will be getting the new brake job right away afterall. That is after I get the 2 trucks separated. The J20 now decides it doesn't want to start. My main gas line is leaking bad as well from a repair that should of never happen. Lesson learned there as well, don't let anyone talk you out of doing the job right the first time.

Not sure why it let loose on a clear blue day but the wheel will roll now I just don't have the muscle to push it up the driveway slope. Thursday is another day. Looks like I just crushed my last good Muscle grille X( and I'm still hoping the door and door pillar are not screwed beyond use on the F350. It took me an hour to pry the trucks apart and get the hood opened on the J20. Now to just get the J20 to back up a few feet. X( This is when it sucks living on a hill.

WOT at HOOTs this weekend.

Maybe it was the Jeeps bullying the F350 now that they are both here. Actually the J10 is going back in lock up for a few weeks while the J20 and F350 get repaired and use able again.

I think the J20 wanted to free it's comrade from the chains of oppression :))

(I hope the damage is not too extensive)

When 2 or more FSJs get into a frenzy, they can turn on one another...

I believe the J20 was jealous because the ford brought home another Jeep...

Yes, I agree, I hope the damage your Powerstroke is light.

I am with you and am happy that no one was hurt.

I don't know where my pic is now, but right before Ouray my J4000 got jealous and the brakes quit working (only time ever while driving it) as I pulled in my driveway and I rammed my '84 J10 (ebrake on, slapped it in park) knocking it off the axle stands, but other than "adjusting" the Killer32 bumper and putting a few scratches on it. no damage was done.
