Now... when a body is that far rusted then that means the frame rails are also mighty thin because of rust out which means it can't take near the punishment one that is in tact can. That means that the whole body could snap in half at speed either being used off road or on road. I wouldn't want to be caught in that situation. The POS was junk long before the rat came in to play. I'd guess it spent plenty of time on a coast somewhere. BTW he said he was trying to buy your jeep.

Once it drinks water the maize meal swells thereby wiping out the rodent. In your case, you're probably better going with a poison, and leaving a water source under the hood, so that it dies there after drinking the water, and isn't consumed by any bird life.<br /><br />You certainly wouldn't want it to get into your cabin / food supplies...Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04020970904311512357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-26444842950324575562013-11-16T14:36:21.518-06:002013-11-16T14:36:21.518-06:00Dani, I'm stuck with it because he did say he ...Dani, I'm stuck with it because he did say he was selling it as a parts vehicle (Despite saying what a good Jeep it was) May take a long while, but I should be able to salvage enough parts to get my money out of it. Shelah spends most of her day chasing rats and mice in the wild, but she won't fit under the hood. Of course I've never seen her catch one so chase may be all she does.<br /><br />DD, You may be right. Not sure I want Shelah to tangle with the rat. Too bad its getting too cool for rattle snakes or I'd try to catch one and put it under the hood to deal with it. I'm guessing a very large rat or bear trap will do the job.tffnguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01830558433596399955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-71007422363448445892013-11-16T11:48:26.246-06:002013-11-16T11:48:26.246-06:00Dang, you got a bargain, it came with a guard rat ...Dang, you got a bargain, it came with a guard rat (grin).
