Hey folks! Just got a silver Apex edition with only 40k on it, 5-speed manual. I looked underneath it and noticed it hadn't been offroad yet. I decided to take it to what we call "the pit." Nothing but sand and holes and FUN. Five minutes into the deal after I just got done climbing a small hill my buddy in his unlimited beeped and showed me where grey smoke was coming out. I'm sure you all know what I was thinking * OH :c: !!!*as soon as he told me that. Anyway, I bring it back home. Looks like I burnt out my clutch :smashfre: . Guess I had been playing with the shifting a little too much. Oh well, guess that's what I get for "breaking in" my new toy. By the way, any fellow Jeepers in Daytona Beach?

just an update on the smoke... wasn't coming from the clutch... came from the frond end thingy.... apparently the people before me babied the Jeep and never took it off road. I guess my girl wasn't ready to hit it as soon as I was.... funny how cars and relationships are so closely related.... lol

that would be the front of the exhaust manifold when you drive through a hemp field. :lewser:
