My Cherokee is on LPG (propane) and I noticed a whiff of gas at the back end today. It's got two 60lit tanks in the back which are vented to the outside. I found that one of the safety valves had started weeping. Legally they have to be swapped every two or three years, mine haven't been looked at in quite a long time. You are not allowed to repair them yourself even though it's only a change of a rubber washer, they have to be calibrated to a specific pressure. I'll have to get two new ones at around €37 each ($39)
That's pretty cool that your Jeep runs on LPG. Do you like it over standard gas / petrol?
I used to work for an outfit that converted two 2.5 ton trucks to propane. That was back in the 80s, boss claimed there was a significant fuel savings but you had to be mindful of how much was in the tank. You can get a carb that will take both propane and gasoline but it cost more and he was cheap.

Drove the wrangler from corpus christi texas to colorado springs colorado. Left at 9am and drove to leakey texas to eat with my parents and then drove to amarillo. Got there are 10pm and stayed the night. Left at 8 the next morning and got to colorado springs at 2pm.
Jeep averaged 14mpg at 73mph. It was a decent drive with zero issues at all. Parts of the drive were in the 50s and some were in the 20s. I did have to immediately change the back right wheel cylinder as soon as i got to fort carson's auto craft shop.
We went off roading yesterday for a few hours and it started snowing on us, which made it really pretty and fun.
Well, it only let me load one picture. That sucks

Clutch fan or electric?
You still have a cooling problem?

Had to put new turn signal switch in my 97 tj 4.0. About a 20 min swap. The plastic “switch” cancel on the switch was cooked. Glad it wasn’t the cam on the steering column. Ugh.

Added front turns with a halo ring (only when lights are on) and they are BRIGHT! Love'em!
Now to get quality headlights with DRLs... suggestions? Fuk Xprite or any other overseas knock off brand.

Is that a set of Dana 60? That looks pretty sweet.
Do they come with lockers in them?

Unfortunately no. It’s just a beefed up 44 front and 60 semi float rear. But I did get ARB lockers and they are both 35 spline now.
Washed the Jeep today. It was looking really good.
About two hours later, it was covered in pollen again
