whatever kind of tools you carry in your jeep. don't leave these little bbs behind. theyre worth much more than to just knock off a couple of squirrels from your jeep going down the trail. if you bust a brake line these things will not be a complete fix. but will be enough to get you home. i busted a front passenger brake line today heading up a rock outcrop up a small private trail. the tire somehow grabbed the line and ripped it from the mount. (probably those new wheels with a different offset) i was scrounging around for ideas of how to not hurt anything yet stop the mass pressure loss. then i recall andrew had said something about using a bb at the pressure regulator to block the flow. by golly, it held up for 50 miles. could probably go for the life of the jeep, but that dang pull to the left is unbeatable. ..

so this is my product review of toy ammunition. thought i would kick this part of the forum off with a bang. i also recommend copper of the aluminum ones, but im sure either would work in a squeeze.

i've heard of people using bb's tp balance their tires too.

Shoot mine lasted all the way up and down Thompson Hill on the Dusy and all the way back home, and even around town a little bit untill I got unlazy and installed my spare line. Sad thing is there was almost no difference between haveing a BB for a rear brake line and having full functioning rear brakes again. Dam 8.25 brakes, I need to get my fricken 14 bolt w/ disc in.

hey travis was the trial the one we were talkin about?

we were talking about several aj... but this was the one that andrews pictures are from. with the jeeps in them, not with me standing at the top...

The one by your brothers?
