What did you do to your jeep today?

Trying some LED lights here and there.

I like the look led's give the halogen vehicles. I think eventually I'll get around to do a conversion on this vehicle.

Going to measure everything with a dmm this time. In the past I've dealt with the turn signal hyperflash and had to play around with relay values, resistors and all that fun stuff to get it dialed in.

I read on the forums here that there's a module under the steering column iirc, where you can desolder the resistor on that board and replace with what's needed for the draw on the new turn/hazard setup. If that's the case I'll pick an extra one up at the junkyard, in case I want to go back to o.e. nice and easy.

I need to take a road trip but I have nowhere to go.

You can hit up the vernal wetlands, swamps, marshes, and bogs in your area and grab samples for me. I'll send you specimen containers and return postage and the like. Still trying to find Rhynchomesostoma sp. outside of my original sample site. Can't publish till I have a comparative transcriptome/genome/karyotype on the little &%#@%*(!. Four years and I haven't found a single specimen that turned out to be a true Rhynchomesostoma.

^ Send me some details. I actually live right next door to a swamp and my dog and I walk past it every day.

Of course, it would be better if you had me out looking for something I might have a chance of being able to spell correctly... ;-)

Yay for citizen science!

My Jeep has been parked for a week. My sister is on vacation and she said I could drive her Ford C-Max hybrid while she’s away. I’ve been getting 48-65 mpg! Of course I miss the Jeep but it is saving me a bundle of gas money over the short term.

 

[lfhoward]

Has anyone driven a Wrangler 4xe plug in hybrid yet? Wish I could get a crate motor for one of those and transplant it into my Liberty, LOL. My commute could be all electric, but I could still tow my trailer long distances and get far out into the woods. The $6xxxx price tag does not agree with my wallet though.

I keep the dang word stored in autocorrect as it’s nigh impossible to remember! Lol

Took one of the pug patrol for her final ride yesterday. She hated rides.
This particular run was not fun.

 

[profdlp]

So sorry to hear that.

It’s never easy. I’m sorry for your loss.

I have. I had a test driving gig last winter/spring, and we had a few of them. Those units didn’t go far on electric mode, but the engine ran for the highway miles. Downtown driving was pretty much all electric. If I remember right, they have a 2.0L turbo 4cyl, and they have a lot of pep.

If I was paying a ton of money for one of the current wranglers, I’d be going for the 6.4L Hemi version. However, I can’t seem to decide between speed and offroader…

 

[CherokeeLiberty]

I put over 500 miles on yesterday. We had another vet eye appointment, and the pooch’s eye was deemed perfectly healed. We go back in 6 months.

The jeep pulled 22mpg on the return trip. I’m super happy considering I drove 70-80mph for a good portion of the trip!

 

[tommudd]

Just been driving mine , well the 03
Moms in the hospital again, so my daily commute is
an hours drive northeast of where I live
then an hour due west from work
then southeast from hospital to home
Leaving at 5 AM, home 11-11:30 each day
too darn old for this

Today I am just scratching my head because for 5 min the dash of my Liberty looked like a Christmas tree. The lights for ABS, ESC and EBD turned on for about 5 minutes and then shut off again. I will plug my ODB reader here to get the ABS codes and see if I can make sense of what's happening with it.

 

[tommudd]

Installed ? the vintage ROCK LIZARD decal from PIXEL DECALs
Almost , well closely matches my Crane rear diff cover ( I bought 15 years ago ) and rear lower CORE 4X4 control arms, both came that color
color kind of shows yellow tint which is not
guess I am starting a theme as the younguns call it LOL

New radio antenna arrived. Hopefully the rain will stop soon so I can install it.

 

[tommudd]

Changed oil in the 03 couple of days ago,
today rotated the tires and finished greasing ujoints etc
replaced air filter, PCV valve
and some other small things done so far
Going out now to get 5 gallons of dirt out of it
between the farm and work get way too much dirt inside of it daily

Oh and took an Amish guy ( owner of a construction company ) for a ride over the 160 acres at work
Been there several times building other buildings for us but never been over the whole grounds before LOL
They started today on a 24x24 building Sheriffs Office for fair time , plus a 60X90 with 2 -14 foot high doors rest rooms etc, then a 22X80 addition on another building
So they'll be around for a few days
