We’re getting the MN boundary waters smoke. We’re in Duluth for my wife’s birthday. I paid extra for a room overlooking Lake Superior. Here’s the view. There’s a whole harbor and another section of town down there.
On the jeep front, I put gas in it yesterday.
There is definitely a snap ring under there. If you put a puller on it and crank it without removing said snap ring, you will destroy the compressor. Ask me how I know…
Here’s the new look. At 262k miles, this will likely be the last set of tires for this pig. Multi-Mile Wild Country XTX in a 235/70R16. A little different than the 245/75’s I have had up until now.
New shoes, today. These were on my wife’s car for a month before she hit a deer and totaled the car.
Thanks, she was pretty torn up about it. It was her first big-girl purchase, and she’s had it longer than me :D
Yup. We’ll see how it goes with the utility boxes. We definitely need the 4 wheel drive from the trucks around here. I got my old transit van stuck a couple times.
All my tools are loaded up in my jeep. They fill up the trunk completely! Thankfully, my new company has a truck picked out for me, already. I’m just waiting on it to get out of the shop. In the meantime, I’m getting by with the older shop trucks.
I drove it for the first time in a few weeks. I also put fresh gas in it. The last fill was 4/20 at $3.609/gal and today was $4.159/gal. It felt good to take it out.
I pumped my jeep’s system full of A/C recharge again. I used a stop-leak product this time around. The jeep’s got 260k miles on it, so I just want it to work.
I tried putting new tires on today, but it turns out Mercury Mariner/Ford Escape wheels have a smaller bore than is needed on the Liberties. So, I’ll have to arrange a swap at a shop after all. These are the tires that we had just put on my wife’s car before she totaled it this winter.
It’s going to get fresh gas to ight on my way home from work. I have some cedar planters in it I made, so the jeep smells fabulous.
If it keeps looking at me the way it does, I’m gonna cut the muffler out and act like I’m back in high school…
