Default Wait till my wife gets home!

My wife told me I should do a mud blog, I thought she said a mud bog? Keepin it close to home (for her convenience of my beer deliveries); I thought just off the front step would be a delight for my girl. Perhaps I misread her intent.
All in all it was a fleet service day. I say service because we know my XJ is maintenance free, it can't be fixed.
The wife's Intrepid received oil, filter, and a seam weld of the resonator, no more growling, at least from her car.
The Blue Steel WJ is now sportin 4 Monroe Gasmatic's and stainless fasteners securing the exhaust heat sheild. The oem shocks served us well but now, no more clunks.
The Peep was in for AMC factory scheduled 723895 km oil, filter, and all other fluids checks. Found the intermittent stumble with #1 spark plug boot arcing to the block, a couple cracks on the boot, replacement installed, smoothed out!
With the fleet to be parked and the frost exiting the ground real fast, the spring bog is in the making. I am sure it will all develop into an early summer drive/walkway excavation and gravel tamping project.
In the meantime, muds up!

Pretty good rigging.... save for the Wrangler bumper hooks and that nylon strap. Just be careful those don't stretch when it warms up... might slide right off those hooks.

Its good for any purchase from Advance Auto. You must order online and request their 30 minute store pickup. The system asks for a code and deducts the savings from your gross amount. Best code ever.

Did this on Wed. for my trip to Pittsburgh this weekend. Checked all fluid levels set the tire pressure to 40psi, replaced the stabalizer shock (leaking) and hoping it would take the death wobble out. It help however there is still a slight wobble between 52-57 mph.
