Winter is over...finally!
Weather has been great this winter and spring has arrvived early.
So how did everyone's Jeeps do over the winter...any serious catasrophes? I hope no one had any major problems or accidents.
Ours was pretty good...nothing serious failure wise. My 97 Gr Cher spit out a starter sometime in December...1st cold night was not good for it. Water has somehow gotten in the solenoid and froze up tight. Darn reman's anyway. Ohhhh the worst of winter I had to deal with a leaky heater core...that was not fun cruising with the windows down to let the vapor out....arghhhhh. Poor thing VC in t-case is on its way out. Going to do up a part time t-case soon.
Handed down the ol Gr Cher to the college boy. The old girl decided it was needing a new battery so he needed a cpl jumps here n there. Didn't help forgetting to turn lights off...ya think I would have found the chime box and replaced when I drove it...nahhhhh/ Anyway that ol girl has got 278K on original motor and trans now...T-case was swapped out a few yrs ago.

I want winter to stay.... Last summer we had a state record with something like 68 days over 100 degrees, 24 in a row! How could you guys be excited about getting closer to hell?

She spent most of it parked (January/February and part of March) due to buying a Honda and saved some gas money! lol. But the salt definitely wasn't any good for the already rusty rockers..
