Just hear me out...

I watch Matt's Off Road Recovery and Fab Rats and a bunch of others that use them a LOT more than I will.

I'll be going to Southington Off Road on 4/1 to be a fool and get stuck. I'll have both kids with me to record all of my questionable decisions...

I went with synthetic, it was only about $50 more.

2018 WK2 Altitude for Momma Bear. I tried to talk her into a Trailhawk but she wasn't having it.

I have a bag of recovery stuff from my last Jeep & that has a tree saver, some tow straps and shackles in it. I'm thinking about adding a kinetic rope to it.

I got the ok to get a winch for the Jeep. I grabbed the Badlands Apex 12,000. Now I'm just waiting on better weather to make my kids (10m & 18f) install it ��

The other day we replaced the worn out sunroof drain hoses in the WJ for some new heavier clear tubing... now when it rains, I stay dry & the Vehicle Information Center above the rear view mirror doesn't cry either.

No, the 247 in it is junk. I took it out playing in the little bit of snow that we got & the AWD doesn't kick in until you're already "losing" control 🙄

After busting knuckles on the little lady's Subaru brakes, it's time once again to work on the WJ. I found a 242HD t-case (with a front shaft) to go behind the 4.7 & finally sourced a rear shaft... and now there's nothing to it but to do it. None of the donor GCs had a usable shifter bezel so...

Not yet, I think the 247 is shot. There's a 242 (and drive shafts) down the road at a salvage yard that I may pluck. I know the front axle shafts are shot too.

It does & it throws light a lot better too! I will admit that I'm spoiled in my Rubicon that has OEM LED headlights/fog lights... you know, the kind oncoming traffic hate. Compared to the LEDs, the halogen bulbs are just kind of a dull yellow but I'm not dropping that kind of cash into a $400 22...

I'll try to snap a pic of what they look like currently when daylight returns, I was impressed with it.

This was earlier today while I was out & about. I romped on the skinny pedal a bit... it'll break traction when you get on it. All said right now I have just over $1,000 into it & that's including the $400 for the WJ. Like me, the headlight isn't much to look at but it functions. If I'm keeping...

I have a headlight polishing kit (works great on soft top windows) that helped but it won't get rid of whatever's going on with the passenger headlight.

Shiny & new

Original plug from '99. All 8 looked like the one on the left.

I think I'm going to use it as a winter vehicle to keep my '18 Rubicon out of the Ohio salt. I've put $600 in parts into it & it still needs bearings for the D44 in the rear. I just changed to Akebono brakes & it's a night and day difference. I went from around 9 mpg to 19 mpg. The brakes were...
