Boy did I pick a great day to change the oil in both differentials... weatherman says temps will be 112 here in Phoenix, it was already close to 100 when I started mid morning, but it is done.

A couple of weeks ago, I felt that the gas cap didn't feel like it would be sealing well, so I bought a new one. I filled up this morning and saw that I went from 12mpg to 15mpg! I wonder if it's just a one-off thing or if the cap wasn't sealing properly and my gas was just evaporating away. I guess I'll see after the next fill up.

You want coverage. I would personally do 4-6 light coats of primer for perfect coverage with no runs.

Checked all my fluids, lights, and tire pressures. Had to add a little diff fluid in the front, and a little engine oil.
Tomorrow GRASSHOPPA, DRUNKEN DIXIE and me are heading out to Essex Offroad Park!!
