Welcome! Looks like a tow-behind vehicle? Time to get some mud on it! :)

Thanks. Yep, got it from the original owner and it was a motor home toad, and will be for ours. I don't do much mud living in Nevada, but it will definitely get lifted and more aggressive tires on it for desert trails around here. :waytogo:

No rebuilts from NAPA anywhere close they say. So now to dig into my stock pile and use one of them I guess :shrug:

Looks nice and clean, What's the mileage on her?

It has just under 100k, but the owner always had it serviced and any recalls done at the dealer he bought it from new. It was always garaged too . Paid a bit more than I should have, but I know the history of it, plus I don't have to deal with setting it up to pull behind our motor home.

Got my spare 5th tire.
Started the 5 tire rotation with it at 1500miles.

Right front tire was feathering on the outside.
I had the alignment done 2 weeks ago and hopefully there wont be anymore feathering.

Jeep still pulls slightly to the right.

Does it matter which 5 tire rotation pattern was done?
I think they did a front cross rotation pattern
FL -> RL
RL -> FR
FR -> spare
RR -> FL
Spare -> RR

We always used this at the tire shops I had
Spare to RR
RR to RF
LR to LF
RF to LR
LF to spare

I think as long as you are consistent it doesn't matter. Each tire will spend the same amount of time in the same places over the long haul. :)

Custom Switch labels. Not perfect but functional. They aren't made for these switches, I had to paint the switch behind the lettering and then I clear coated the face of the switch.

Arrgh dust got in the clear coat!

(Functional = Someone using my Jeep shouldn't turn on the wrong switch and melt my light covers)
