oh yeah, but sometimes you get off down in the river areas and you lose signal. but, most of the time i wheel with friends or there is somebody with me. plus most of the places i've been wheeling here lately have been pertty close to walking distance of the house.

but, isn't that the name of the game. if your not breaking, denting it, or getting it stuck. your not doing it right.

Figured out I cannot figure out what the hell is wrong with my power locks. If anyone is bored and has experience with door lock issues, please click my build thread and read what I have done so fare, PLEASE!

Re-installed the battery after charging it last night. Jeep has been sitting since July so it was dead.

Fresh universal on the rear drive shaft at pinion end for the XJ. Rebuilt passenger door latch mechanism on the ZJ. Oil and filter on the Intrepid. Oil change on the snowblower. Check the fluids and top up widow wash on all the fleet.

could be an excessive amount of sludge build up this was wrong with mine I bought a 30 radiator 3 fan electric kit all new hoses new thermostat new oil pump, pull the valve cover and you'll know if you have an excessive amount a sledge build up mine was so bad that when I pull the valve cover the rocker arms had worn a place in the sludge I'm honestly surprised the motor ran.

Found it was 2qts low on oil...been 1200 miles since I changed it, probably from towing the sleds last week, 500 miles of running hard at 2700rpm lol. also topped off the ATF, got a couple slow leaks, checked other fluids as well.

oh and the new trans line I bought to fix my leak isn't the right one. Gotta bring that back as well.
