Wheeled it... 2wheeler did awesome yet again... only got stuck once and it wouldn't have happened if I had better tires and probably not even at all if the mud hole wouldn't have been around a curve... had them aired down to 20 psi (lowest I'll go with a bent rim) and it was better than fully aired up, but they still don't compare to an a/t or even an m/t... great day out on the trails though.

Put new battery terminals on and in the process some how broke my battery temp sensor so I guess the next thing I do will be that! I also greased and cleaned my breaks. I did all that after working a 10 hour day now it's time to relax!!!!

Another new silverstar headlite, really like the light they give but only 16000km and 3 months since the last change for $37each?? Sylvania really should provide more value with the good light source, at least the guys will stop calling me winky. Added 300ml Wynns leak stop, don't expect much but I had it and needed a little oil top up in between the regular changes. (Yes all the gaskets and Orings have been changed but with a Renix oil leaks are like a puppy chasing it's tail). With the 4.0 performing an underside self oiling program one wonders how anything could have developed rust? A big Thank You to our roads maintenance for that southern Ontario road salt. The Peep has rolled over 489200 km and still flagship of the fleet. Run a lot of north Ontario roads with just some sanding and a rough plow job, no salt and traction is fine?
Going back outside now to giver her a spring powerwash from son-in-laws new machine. Funny, he washed everybody elses rigs in the yard for them. Maybe he doesnt want a steak for himself on today's 1st BBQ of the season

Brutus, Don't let the misguided actions of one stormtrooper get you down, must have spilled his donut and coffee when the thunder of your XJ went by. The taillite you can pop in. Check out on google "gojeep.com" for some leads on how to cheap/easy some flairs and detachable mud flaps to appease the needs of any local legislation.
That's a nice rig by the way.
