Officially Spring here at -10 deg C and a brisk northwest wind.
The Peep needed a little lovin with a continued exhaust leak at the EGR tube connection to the header. Well in this weather, a quick fix with iron pipe bushing and a 1/2 copper coupler will quieten the noise till temp at least rises to just feezin for summer.
Added a liter of 10W30, we are just 3KKm shy of the AMC scheduled 725Kkm interval.
A quick spray of brake clean to remove oil film and a small file touch up of the distributor rotor and contacts.
A couple dolops of power steering and rad fluid.
A shot of grease in all 18 nipples. Air filter was checked and good.
IAC was misbehavin this week with a high idle issue when heat soaked, I threatened to change it out and it hasn't hicupped since all week end.
The 95ZJ was well behaved with only some washer fluid and a wiper blade.
Pooch monitored the whole process from the back.
Was then time for me an the Pooch to walk off a couple pounds of winter weight, well me anyways.

My pup was either in the front seat, or lying on the ground next to me as I performed the work...she missed her jeep as much as I did during the last 5 1/2 months....

I'm working a 12 hour shift today, but I spent some time XJ shopping for the lady, and I'm doing some geometry to determine whether or not these 6° shims should fix the pinion angle on my 8.8 swap.

Nyala McPhoo
Nyala runs 95 to 100 lb, depends summer or winter. I feed her more when the cold weather arrives, she needs to make more heat when outside (just like me) and our exercise is definitely more in the summer. Seems easier for her to loose the pounds but she does run the circles around me. Especially when Yogi Bear comes to visit.She's a hard core Jeep enthusiast and claims the back of the Peep for her travelling domain.
