This is just an FYI to all. I went Elk hunting this past week end. After 5 years of trying to get drawn, I finaly did...YEA!!!! Well I got every thing ready. Packed the motor home and checked everything 2 or 3 times. made sure I had guns and ammo, 2 important things needed to get Elk. On the morning I was to leave I pulled the motorhome out and then hooked the Jeep up behind. This is where things get sticky. I have recently replaced the 5 speed with an auto tranny and rebuilt the t-case. I pulled the tranny in neutral and took off. After driving 155 miles nonstop, I pulled to a stop to make a left hand turn and felt a jolt as the rear wheels on the Jeep locked up and I started dragging the Jeep. I stopped and checked out the problem and found tranny fluid all under the jeep's frame everywhere. I then pulled the drive shaft, (something that I should have done first) The Jeep has not been checked out completely yet as I just got back from hunting, sans Jeep. But not a total bust as my dad did bring his very capable Toyota pick up to get us where we wanted to go. I know I blew all the tranny fluid out and may have screwed up the x-case as well. This sucks because it all just had about 200 miles on a complete rebuild. Well I guess I wasn't quite as finished with it as I thought I was. Oh yeah!!! after all that, there were so many hunters in the woods I don't think the Elk had any problem knowing where to stay away from,,,,,
