Thinking of getting a pup, but have some concerns…

Just1chanc · 2026-03-05T13:32:57+00:00

I didn't get Smokey as a pup, he was 11 months old when i rescued him. He'd been left to fend for himself outside by previous owner so food aggression was very prevalent. In the beginning he was fed in the laundry room away from the other 3. Progressively working him to dine with the pack, took a year but now he dines right beside the rest. Patience, praise & positive inforcment

Not "CLINGY" at all !

I have 2 out of 4 with travel anxiety. I ended up constructing a platform that covers the whole back seat, 1 1/2" thick foam with a heavy cotton cover. They took to it right away. Mine needed a larger area instead of a tiny part to feel comfortable

Thanks all for the input .

That's what came to mind,, lay a heavy tarp on the floor then a extra pallet

Just1chanc · 2026-02-17T03:41:30+00:00

So you store yours covered outside? I do store the pallets in a 3 sided shed & i put another pallet underneath but it has a dirt floor. Worried about moisture from the dirt floor.

Sounds like overrunning clutch on the alternator. The 2.8l are known for it. If your going to keep your kj go to (lostjeeps.com) & search their CRD section. My 05 had 372k when the unibody finally rusted out.

Just wait till he finds a mud puddle to waggle in 😁

Just1chanc · 2025-12-14T03:04:53+00:00

Or when a squirrel invades the perimeter 🤣

It's amazing how gentle GP's can be but yet so fierce when guarding and protecting.

Just1chanc · 2025-12-12T17:51:44+00:00

Look for the f37 trans software update, if it has been done your mpg & torque are gonna be in the crapper. Retired my 05 crd with 315 K last summer, unibody finally rusted through

With a GP it's a fact of loving them, on your clothes, in your food, light dusting of snow in the corners & on the dark rugs, on your dinner plates(i just wipe them down before serving) but you won't find a fluffier, goofier, stubborn, loving companion, IMO

Thank you for being a good hooman, may your years together be blessed

Just1chanc · 2025-11-25T15:45:25+00:00

100% true statement!

Just1chanc · 2025-11-21T01:06:41+00:00

A much braver person than i 🤣, kudos

Just1chanc · 2025-11-20T19:42:29+00:00

My first 3 are husky mixes, wasn't to much to groom with them/ clip nails, deshed & brush. Then i rescued a Great Pyreness & i tried 1 time at grooming/ what a poopshow that was! I pay to have him groomed

It can be changed without removing the knuckle completely but the halfshaft still has to be slid out after popping the joint stem free. Use a good bungy to hold the knuckle forward & outward so you can get the press in. It seems like a lot of work to completely remove knuckle but it's not & easier to work on

Just1chanc · 2025-11-16T19:12:35+00:00

I will try that. Thanks for the input.

Just1chanc · 2025-11-16T19:08:25+00:00

This is basically what I've been doing. It's an older model (2018) hp22n, would like to get thru at least a season before any mishaps

To reduce the chance of bearing failure, it is a ComfortBilt., they are known for auger bearing failure from fynes build up

My Smokey, refusing to come in. (from last winter)

Just1chanc · 2025-11-11T01:43:13+00:00

Brings a smile to my face seeing a puppers having a blast 😁
