Helping A Retired Veteran Get His Jeep Comanche Up And Running
Рет қаралды 181,754
5 жыл бұрынOn this week's Driveway Rescue, Eliza and Jeremy head to to help Rick Whitehorn, a retired Marine, get his 1998 Jeep Comanche back up and running! The brakes and steering were the primary focus of this rescue but they were able to get him a few other things like new bumpers!

@stevemanxxx 5 жыл бұрын
When they put the dust shield and then the wheel bearing on, you can clearly see their is no seal installed as the shaft moves around in the housing
@nbrowser 5 жыл бұрын
The actual fluid seals are located right in the pumpkin section on either side of the differential on the front axle. They are actually a pain to replace because in most cases you have to rig up a long section of all thread and some washers and whatnot in addition to yanking the ring and carrier out of the differential. If Jeep was to put anything on the tube ends at the wheels...it's likely to be a small dust shield to slow down dirt travelling down the axle tubes to the actual fluid seals. like Ford uses on the solid front axle Super Duty trucks.

My Dick, yes but not everyone can afford such work. He deserves it just as much as any other vet. If they choose not to ask for help that on them. All vets should be treated equally and deserve the best for their sacrifice. Dont bash someone in need of help cause others refuse to ask.
@sentree9857 5 жыл бұрын
My father was in the military and there’s a culture of trying to claim disability for just about anything nowadays. There’s Facebook pages where vets go to coach one another on how to game the system. One of many examples I read was. 1 - don’t take a shower for at least 2 weeks and show up as disheveled as possible in order to get some sort of mental illness disability.
