Drive the Peep 3 1/2 hours daily, somethin is always wrong, something is always about to go wrong, something is always just fixed last weekend, some parts are always on the bench waiting to be installed, some parts are always on order, some parts are always on the wish list, lots of time to plan the steps in the process of the next fix or analyse todays New noise, and where did yesterdays noise go? In all that it is still my favourite ride. Wouldn't want to be without the Peep.

A lot of the failures I see people talking about on this forum, (and others, it's not just a Jeep thing,) are related to neglecting routine maintenance.

A person whining about his starter failing and leaving him stranded in a parking lot 30 miles from home. He had had to hit the starter with a hammer several times over the last several weeks of its life prior to the thing finally dying to keep it working.

If he'd replaced the darned thing the first time it screwed up, he wouldn't have been stranded and whining about it.

Same thing with lights. Incandescent bulbs are wear parts. They dim over time. They need to be replaced maybe every three years regardless of whether they blow or not.

Eliminate a death wobble without replacing the original whipped ball joints? Why bother?

If you keep an eye out for small changes in operation and fix the small things immediately, the big stuff can't bite you.
