I bought the fitting for my CCV/PCV system... the one's on the forward and aft sections of the VC. I pick up the "straps" as the dealer called them tomorrow. The straps are the hoses from those fittings, one to the air box, the other to the intake (rear hose). Total cost was only $34... I am ok with that.

Changed the oil
Cleaned the IAT sensor
Figured out I am leaking a little coolant, but its no big deal
Inspected everything underneath
Checked the oil in my front diff. I need to change it before I start going wheeling again this summer, its nasty and black
Checked transmission fluid, it smells really bad so I think it could use a change too.
Took it out to a field and got it dirty.

Pretty productive day

Apparently a hockey game is more important than my safety, so I get to drive my jeep with bald tires and bad brakes 60 miles in snow tomorrow.
Wont even go get my parts for me.

Can be a BEOTCH sometimes.

took it to a loan place to see if I can use it for collateral for a car loan to be able to get a DD and keep the Jeep instead of selling the Jeep to buy the DD.
