What did you do to your jeep today?

I've been tempted to ask for a step ladder so when I hand wash the Jeep I can get the roof at the house. First time in a long while I've owned a vehicle I can't reach the roof to clean.

Just stand on the rear tire like I do! For the front half open the front doors and use the handle. Or just buy a RV brush. That helps me a lot in the winter.

I believe Line-X has a color that is almost army green available. I'd love to Line-X my whole Jeep but the sunroof kinda puts me off from doing it.

Ran it through the quickie wash (Hubby played whack-a-mole with it Sunday) and filled up the tank.

Why are you even trying to install them, what good are they going to do ? :shrug:Just curious what 5/16s of an inch will do

I'm just trying to flush them out a bit with my Mud Guards is all. Last time I ran spacers was on the rear of my Focus was for a similar thing with stability purposes. 5mm width makes a huge difference with a properly tuned suspension, though all I did was take the wheel off throw the spacer on, put the wheel back on and just torque it down a couple extra pounds never had any issues since I was still able to hand turn the lug nuts 7 times. Unfortunately I am only able to turn the lug nuts four times with the 8mm spacers so I went the route of extended studs. I had found open ended lug nuts with shanks on the end which one can use to avoid extended studs if they have wide wheels with deep centers. Saturday gave me a grim vision of what could happen when we had a car come in with a capped lug nuts that had shanks on them, long story short the shanks snapped off and we had to drill out the studs to get the wheel off.

new hood shocks, no more hood holding stick. looking for some new tires and a new tailgate

Was able to replace the stud without needing a new wheel hub. My friend in Australia will be picking up the tail lights, full rear wiring loom for me so I'm one step closer to Rear Fogs!

Just got a smokin deal on an ARB front bumper for my 07 from Ouipack/ARB Canada.
They are having a warehouse clearance sale.
I got it for $899.95cdn+sh+tx= $1429.66cdn to my door.
That's equal to the retail price before sh/tx.

If you're on the fence, now is the time to shop for one.(not sure how many they have in stock).

Replaced the lifts for the rear glass. It will be nice to not hit my head when going for tools, but I got to remember to stand further back when I open it now. That glass really smarts when it hits your face now that it comes up so fast. Forgot I changed them and in a hurry opened it. DOH!!

I also added cup holders to the center console in back so the kids don't have to use the door ones and splash junk around when they close the doors.

planning on a lot this weekend:
oil and filter change
mount and balance duratracs
alignment
inspect/clean and regrease (replace if needed) caliper slide bolts
check brake pads, replace if i need to
state inspection
wash and remove tar from roadwork in my area (add another coat of sealant)
detail the interior
maybe a trip to the range

Well crap...all this talk of glass and hood lift-struts... I guess I should jump on the bandwagon. I need em on both ends as well...

Almost traded it in for a Mazdaspeed3. Just couldn't do it. Besides the dealer was full of jackasses anyway.

Tires rotated again, oil changed, everything greased up and ready to go. I'll hook up the trailer in a little while and head out doing what I seem to do every weekend . :Bye:

I haven't found one that wasn't full of them.

Tire rotation, oil change, transfer case fluid change. Added Lucas to the rear differential. Put the transfer case skid back on. Greased my u joints. Checked my front differential level. All good to go!

Score!
Looks like he is getting desperate to unload them. I spoke to him a few months back he was only willing to drop it 200 bucks.

Switched the worn out tires for 235/70r16 Toyo AT IIs. I could have gone bigger but decided to just got up a little for now.
