I think Lady sticks around because she understands something about what you are doing. At least she understands that you are helping people, and she thinks she is playing a role. From watching her, I believe she thinks that when she is running ahead she is the one who is finding broken vehicles. In her mind, you guys are hunting. You let her out in an area, and she runs along the trail until she finds someone who needs her pack's help. After you get there she is responsible for watching for danger.

Fun fact about nylon zip ties: I have used them for many years and always had to battle the brittle, easily broken zip tie problem. All Nylon is hygroscopic. Meaning that it absorbs water. The solution is to keep them moist. I add a small amount of water to the plastic storage bag. Although it sounds useless to store plastic in a wet environment, after a short time you will notice the ties are much more flexible and more resistant to breaking. 😎

If you can find it, there is an old ABC (Australian Broadcasting Commission) TV production called "Bush Mechanics" where outback Aborigines find derelict wrecks and make three wheels and a chassis with half an engine cross the Nullabor Desert, because they need to get to town 1200km away.

Welder here, and you did a great job. If you had the tools, it would have been better to V grind the parts and fill them with weld, but needs must... Any repair you can drive out of the trail is a good repair. For DC welding with GP rods (E6013) which I think you had, you normally run electrode positive, which puts more heating (2/3) into melting the rod and it helps with metal transfer and wetting. If you're low on amps or welding on very heavy metal you can run electrode negative, but you might suffer from porosity as the flux isn't getting hot enough to transfer to weld pool. Some rods like E7018 can run electrode positive but they are harder to use low hydrogen rod (ie probably better for that application anyway). If you do a lot of that kind of stuff in the future, I'd expect a small generator welder and air compressor would be in your future. They don't have to be anything special, just enough to run some air tools and weld stuff up. You will kill normal cranking batteries using them that way for long.

Made my own plastic suite case tool box, all the socket drive sizes, Deep and short sockets, each category in rows with extensions, universals, and rackets. The lid holds a end wrench set.

you do what you have to do to get it home then you can fix it right. if not and it breaks again its all on you. i once rebuilt a 4 link with two about 5 inch round oak limbs we cut of of a tree and i dont know how many tiedown straps. but it got us home.

I just got a set of MT02 40s for my yukon. I haven't even got them on the truck yet but I love them already.

If that happens again Team, the top spindle comes out pretty easily. Just remove the cover (right behind the lug nuts on the lower spindle) with a 1/2" socket extension. Then I belive its a 5/8 bolt that is threaded in retaining the spindle. It's that easy, the upper spindle will then slide right out of the splines.

If welding in the field becomes more of a thing you may want to check out the fronius accupocket 150 it has an onboard battery you can weld something like 10 1/8 7018 rods and can be charged on 110 so in a pinch you can charge it with an inverter in your rig, also they weld really nice!

Tom, good work. Awesome y’all got that jeep out of there. Any trail fix welding with a battery is a score. Next time take a tarp or something to cover those batteries so if they over heat and explode your not as apt to get hurt-- as much.

You oughta send Jeep, i.e., European company Stellantis a big thank you for all the business their product provides. Though in their defense, it's really difficult to rebuild a brand that Fiat formerly owned. Nice repairs. Now you'll need real welding setups in all the off road recovery rigs.

Fix It Again Tony strikes again. Fiat sold their 128 with its OHC engine and to keep the Americans from complaining about valve noise, they ran them a little too tight. In 1975 I was doing the third valve job on a friend's 128 at 29k miles.
