Found and repaired a short in a high beam. Cleaned the throttle body. Broke and then replaced the pcv. Changed rear diff oil.
Wow 2.15! I thought I was lucky with the tank of 2.19 I got over near Randallstown.
Bob asked for it :ROFLJest:

I got gas in SC for $1.86 on Saturday. Today I'm near Munising Mi, fuel is 2.49
I've put 3500 miles on her since the last oil change, oil looks good and is dead on the full line. 62 miles until 80k!
I think the Jeep likes it here in northern Michigan. :icon_smile:

Yeah they really **** you in the City. It's $2.60 out here in the burbs, which is still $.20 higher than the national average

Is this about what we did to our KJs or what happened to our wallets at the pumps?
My plates arrived in the mail today, along with some 19" Bosch ICON wiper blades. I installed the plates, the rear framed in billet aluminuminuminum, then swapped out the wiper blades.
I'm hoping this coming season will be the end of our 4-year drought and I will get plenty of snow to drive in. I took my first driving lesson in the snow behind the wheel of my aunt's 1929 Model A when I was in the 4th grade. I've enjoyed snow driving since then. Many years ago, our local CHP were mounting 4 studded mud & snows on their sedans to test their effectiveness. I decided to do the same on my Opel Manta Luxus that year. Ever since, I have never installed chains. Now that I'm driving a KJ, I don't think I'll even be doing studs.
Right now, I have to be satisfied with the little things. I'm concentrating on paying the Jeep off as quickly as I can. My lungs can't do a thorough wash & wax, so I'm having that done tomorrow in Reno.

Back in the 70s I ran all studed snow tires on my pickups all winter. I worked in and managed tire shops so had to get to work on " snow days" Worked great and yes some were just 2 wheel drive. With Duratracs on the KJ I have only had to use 4 wheel drive when snow is super deep or just to go where other idiots can't ,..................in the mall parking lot :happy175::happy175: and my friends know how often I am seen at a mall..........:icon_lol:
Here in chicago i have never had any problems i stay off the streets because of the people in their cars. Just head down alleys and back roads. I use a little extra gas being in being that they are unplowed untouched but its fun. The only risk i am taking is getting stuck which wont happen. I 2wd it until i get stuck then pop it in part time. Got to love select a trak.

since it says "what did you do to your JEEP" instead of Liberty lol... I fell over in mine while on a weekend Labor day off-road trip. Coming at if you could not see the drop at all and there was no markings. It just looked like a rocky area until it was to late. I was told the area has almost claimed many Jeeps.
And the final damage once everything is said and done. outside of cosmetic I have a bent Tie rod and the steering stabilizer is pretty much flattened

Glad you're OK. All in all it could have been much worse.

CRAP! :favorites68:
First off, glad you're OK. Second, surprised there isn't more damage to the passenger side of your JK - must have landed just right, eh?
What fluids leaked out? Can't tell if that's oil or coolant; did you need a tow home or did you drive it?
Whew - bet you needed to change your shorts after that one :mexsmoke:

Transmission fluid mostly. Had to sit around for a while for some ATF+4 to be delivered. That was about it for fluids on the ground. Started right up and drove it out of the park and home. No CEL or smoke or anything.

Bought my crd a parts-mate. No title, no keys. Blown engine... "loss of power and big white cloud of smoke". I'm guessing blown head gasket. Going to prep it for moving today. Spare parts!
