Took the roof rack off last night. Today I ran it through the car wash. Later this evening, I swapped out the winter tires for the summer tires.

Mine has done around 100 - speedo saying over 85, reads about 16% slow due to increase in tire size without changing the speedo gear... makes it like 99-ish mph. I'm only running 31's on 3.55s though.

I go 75-80 at 2k-2500 with my 35s/4.10s. Part of the reason ive kept the highish gears so long... do 20-30 miles a day at that speed. Even more when I go wheeling.(sometimes hundreds)

Tore apart the idiot light/gauge cluster to test some lights, they were good.

Bought some parts for my next spontaneous work on jeep day, then come to realize I already have a new thermostat and oil filter in my parts box, now I have two, LOL.

Drove by and saw my XJ parked out back of my buddies shop waiting on space to weld the floor pans. But I did get two more boxes of parts in so its project time when I get it back.
