Raining. Finally feeling well enough to fix the jeep and it is raining. Need to buy one of the steel roof driveway canopy things so am not dependent on the weather to wrench on stuff.
Wifey has turned into a complete monster with it. I'm actually not too bad- just a dry feeling in the sinuses and that stuff they call "brain fog"...of which the latter is terrible. I feel well enough to do stuff, but kept loosing tools and forgetting what step I'm on.
So the Jeep is torn...
Yeah, can't catch a break. Finally got all the parts together to fix the jeep, and then wifey brings home covid from her new job as a school teacher. Until now, I had never had it.
This is awful stuff!
ROAD TRIP! ROAD TRIP! ROOOOAAAAAADDDD TRIIIIIIIIIP!
Headed east to finish up dad's estate, see my son, and get in some hiking and fossil hunting.
Not really a vacation, but I'll take it.
I have been running Powerstop brand ceramic brake pads and calipers on all my vehicles now for five years.
The pads and calipers I put on Bert the Sciencemobile 70k miles ago are still going strong. The pads I put on RubiKhaaaan! 57k miles ago barely show any wear.

Cheap. Effective. Can be refilled. I suggest RainX windshield wiper fluid Summer anti-bug (the green stuff) to refill it.
This thing pays for itself your first...
Spent a few hundred bucks doing my 150k maintenance. Detailed inside and out.
Driving "...the coolest Uber ever..." and raking in the tourist dollars for the College World Series. Took vacation days from the labs.
Even on RubiKhaaaan!'s gas mileage I'm making 700-1000$ a day. Time to do some...
Disassemble the brake light housing from the vehicle and look inside at the bulb contacts. I had this problem on mine. Took me months to figure it out.
Turned out the plastic had melted a bit and was preventing connections. Found the previous owner had put the wrong bulbs in and they generated...
Mine (well sortra mine- I gave it to my kid) has over 300k on it. Still the factory drive train. 200k of that is mine and about 50k miles off road and bouncing through the desert.
If the price is right, nothing wrong with that mileage.
Like any vehicle, do your maintenance, keep an eye out for...
Got the new starter in Bert. All is well. Up and running on the factory drive train with 300k miles on it.
Kids bought the wrong one initially. After a talk with the guys at NAPA (Oh, yeah, forgot to mention their regional manager is a friend I've done business with for decades) Got a brand new...
