Put a locking gas cap on since all the cars on my street got gas siphoned out of them. Punks were dumb enough to siphon my diesel to. Good thing the jeep only gets 20 bucks worth of gas a week.

I've tried to siphon gas out of my jeep and could never do it. The hose would stop right at the tank. Maybe I was using too big of a hose.

Just bought a new wheel for my spare since I have a tire carrier now. It'll be in tomorrow afternoon, and then I'll feel much better about taking the YJ off pavement.

Alot of newer cars have a ball that doesn't allow gas to get siphoned or at least that's my understanding. When you start the car the ball picks up

Ordered $80 worth of LEDs so I can finish my tail lights that I built steel housings for almost 2 months ago...Also going to order Brown Dog motor mounts tomorrow when I get paid.
