Today I changed oil, using Gunk to clean out and see what's up (added MMO for the first time to try to quiet noisy lifters and it really does run quieter), noticed my oil filler cap wasn't sealing worth a bleep so bought a new one along with a new oil drain plug and what a difference...no oil on my valve cover and no ever present drip of oil underneath the plug...Replaced my rear liftgate supports so I don't have to use my head to keep it up. Last Sunday I bought new tires, Firestone Destination A/T (my jeep is my DD so for now no lift or crazy stuff) p225. This past winter I replaced my serpentine belt, muffler, rear exhaust pipe, and most importantly my fuel injectors with much help and great advice from this forum as a matter of fact that is the reason I joined. Also I have replaced my coolant bottle but have not converted it. Some hose replacements as needed. Next is A/C...That is the big reason the original owners were selling it they just didn't want to fix big things anymore cause they sure spent a big chunk over the past 23 years I was lucky they babied it as well (their repair folder was as thick as the yellow pages and still have the original dealer window sticker).

Haven't tested them offroad but its looking like i'll never own a different kind. They ride very well, handle even better and compliments are a plus! From what i've heard from others who run the same tire, they are fantastic offroad and almost unbeatable in off camber situations. Thats coming from a 4wheelparts employee who owns a set on his TJ.

i made this a couple days ago. the actual light bar was off an old roll bar i had but it wasnt quite long enough so thats what the triangle pieces are for. and the gutter mounts took a little bit to get just right.
