My brother finally got his Jeep back yesterday. He still can’t start it because there is ice in the engine block, but that’s not the best part. When he opened up his hood he found that a muskrat had built a nest in his engine while it was still in the water. The muskrat chewed through a good portion of his wiring and various other parts of his engine that need to be replaced. He also had a nest loged between the tire and the body of the Jeep. That one didn’t have any lasting damage though. He’s got some work ahead of him, but I think he learned his lesson.

Ice on the engine block
, put the jeep inside the Garage for the weekend, that’ll take care of the ice, a heated Garage get’s the job done faster.
btw. How in the world did ice get on the engine block?

We would put it in the garage, except we don’t have one.
This is why there is ice on the engine block. It was in there for a week and a half because the ploice wouldn’t let a tow truck behind the baracade.

Yeah, when people up here try to cross flooded areas during the spring, roads crossing the Minneosta river, soneone get’s washed away and never seen again
