    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Busy weekend so far, replaced faulty brake master cylinder, back brake pads and parking brake shoes and then did a full bleed on the system.

    Improving gas mileage

    Got stuck into the KJ today to try figure out her thirst. Changed plugs, the plugs I took out were the correct length but not the correct spec and then I proceeded to take the throttle body off. Right off the bat I find the two top bolts loose, hmmm that looks promising. Cleaned it all up...

    Improving gas mileage

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Funny I normally hate white cars, normally always choose blue or silver, but this is sooo much cooler with our hectic sun here and I'm pretty stoked with the overall look with the black parts:gr_grin:
