Ahhhhhh! I. Hate. Mud!













It's all over the engine bay too. Thinking I can spray it down with degreaser and pressure wash it. I'm sure some of you have done that. Any advice on what I should remove/cover up before I use the washer?

Don't spray the engine directly with high pressure water, but degreaser will take most of it off along with a rinse

I was wondering about that. So, just use the garden hose?

Bubba you are the man. Digging the trail trash bag on the spare. Pack it in, pack it out, and cover the dumbasses on the way. Nice trail etiquette brother.

It was ZJ day (battery on charge for the XJ, looks like need a new one).
X2 dogs on a road trip and good long dog walk.
Then ZJ trans fluid and filter change. I love how some of the trans fluid actually falls in the catch pan. Wow, it was time for a service, clean as a whistle and fresh fluid (well about 4.5 liters, 50% fresh this time round). Nyala Dog did come under to give me a kiss and support my efforts, then she expected a doggy treat, Cooper Dog just slept in the back of the truck all afternoon, too much dog walk for him.
Today put a roast beast in the slow cooker and them start changing snow tires on the fleet, need to change 4 vehicle sets. Dinner is at 6, your all invited, need Jeep for entry.
I've a bowl of candy too. However only get a trick or treater out this way every few years. Happy Halloween!

Thanks guys. I go from nice guy to its time to commit a misdemeanor when I catch someone trashing a trail. That's what gets them closed down. That pic was taken on the Rubicon eastbound right after Cadillac hill. One of my favorite overlooks.

Changed out that stupid plastic rear console bracket with the metal one. Changed the oil with Rotela 15w40, rotated the tires.

That's what NEEDS to happen everywhere. Regardless of fear of a trail being closed down, have some respect for nature, and for others that want to enjoy it without lookin' at your TRASH! One of my favorite places to wheels has trash dumped all over it... GMG every time we go in there and I keep saying we need to get a clean up party in there. Everyone always agrees, but nothing is ever done. I gotta quit working so much so I can get something goin'.

I ALWAYS take out more than I bring in...and if I see anyone out there being careless, I call them on it. Most of the time they are shamed and pick up what they tossed, but not always...hate those idiots.
