Haha thanks! I wish I could bring the Jag, but its still got the PS leaking issue after i replaced one hose. Need to tune it up and take it to the local Jag guys to help diagnose. Then again even if it worked...I might have had to have one of the toyotas come tow me from the side of the road....
 
You can rebuild them cheaply...there is a writeup in the 80 section

I'll have to see that. If I still have the sticking, I'll pursue that route.
 
Hey guys... I think I found the reason for the slight ticking in my front end.... all fixed now though

GRIZZLY VS TOYOTA SEQUOIA




There are no scratches on the outside of this car, but the vehicle is totaled !

A man in Waterton Park , Canada (adjacent to Glacier Nat'l Pk USA )), came out to find the inside of his 18 month old Toyota Sequoia trashed.

A grizzly bear had somehow got a door open.
Once inside it got trapped when the door shut behind him, probably by the wind.

The Toyota was the Platinum edition, all the door panels were ripped off, the head-liner torn to pieces, all headrests, the leather seats, the dash shredded.
The steering column was twisted Sideways. Two of the six airbags went off, the other four the bear ripped to pieces.

You can imagine a trapped grizzly being hit with an airbag in an enclosed space !
He must have figured he was in for the fight of his life, and by the looks of this car, he won the fight.

When the bear ripped off the door panels he also clawed all the wiring harnesses out.
Toyota figures every wire he pulled or clawed at resulted in alarm bells, voices or sparks.

The head mechanic at Calgary Toyota doubted if they had the expertise to put this vehicle back together, even if they had enough parts to do it. And, to add insult to injury, the bear took a big Dump in the back of the SUV . . . and then broke out the rear window.

Fish and wildlife officers have inspected the damage and figure it was a 3 year old Grizzly.

The vehicle has been written off by the insurance company.
The cost of this fully optioned vehicle new was over $70,000, and they stopped counting the repair costs at $60,000 plus.

Well thats one way to start the rhinolining and dynamat process...
 
Heck my girlfriend in college that found out I was "running into" my ex girlfriend from time to time late nite. And well her work was very similar. I bet the bear would be easier to reason with.

Maybe it's the other way around?

Archie, Please forgive us and come back home, our wayward son.
 
Decided to tackle the body work. Bought a Porta-Power. Very nice tool.
Was able to put the wedge between the roll bar and the A pillar and push the A pillar back out.

Got a frame clamp on each end of the door. Anchored one end to a tree and pulled the other with a winch. Gave it the big Strrreeetch while pulling the dents.
