    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Saw Bert again out on the roads. Daughter's partner didn't even wave. They haven't washed the ScienceMobile in a really long time. Sigh. Love the Rubicon. Really miss Bert.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    As I travel a lot I try to use national chains for tires, alignments, and oil changes. (WalMart and Costco for tires, Jensen, JiffyLube, and/or Brakes Plus) I truly would rather use locally owned businesses, but their warranted work is useless when I am a thousand miles away. With the Rubicon...

    Never had good luck with Firestone Alignments. I use Jensen or Brakes Plus.

    "Captain, sensors indicate an unknown vessel dropped out of warp directly behind us!" "Shields up. Arm aft photon torpedoes. Hail them."

    I have a Complete KJ airbox with intact and can pull grommets out of Bert if your MacGyverism fails. Bert runs an Apollo due to the snorkle.

    What did you do to your Jeep today? -Wrangler Edition-

    When adventuring, on the roof with the spare fuel and traction boards and such. Around town in the garage. I pay good money for roadside assistance through Jeep and insurance. Got road hazard on the tires through Costco AND WalMart, plus a repair kit.(Fried the RFIDs on the tires so double...

    Rear bumper project complete after far too much work, but everything is torqued and the ParkSense works. Nothing but a little paint touch up to go!

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    The kids passed me going the opposite direction in Bert this morning as I was out getting coffee beans and pug treats. Is surreal to see the little monster still gettin’ it done. Freely admit I miss the Liberty, but last season’s endurance trip proved it was time to upgrade. Bert now has 240k...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Been chasing electrical gremlins. Discovered no less than five instances of conductors broken off in the wire insulation causing intermittent faults. Lots of bird dogging with the multimeter demonstrating the definition of insanity. (repeating the same task and expecting a different outcome)...

    What did you do to your Jeep today? -Wrangler Edition-

    Found a new to me suspension company, Pedders, which has a 2" lift for Wranglers for less than 900$ US. Just like OME they have application weight ratings and are specifically designed for overlanding. Appears to be well known and well liked in Australia. Going with them rather the OME as it...

    As expected ARB customer service is exquisite. Hardware kit was missing some bits-captive nuts for wing panels- and needed recovery point decal as bash plate was pre bashed and I have to have it blasted and coated. They shipped it all to me for free.

    Recommendation for roof mounted lights for a Jeep Liberty?

    Aye, research! I spend enough time at higher altitudes that those nasty little rolling fog banks and low clouds are a real issue, and yellow fogs are handy in dust storms too, something I seem to deal with frequently. Around home, we get whiteout conditions with just a few centimeters of snow...

    Recommendation for roof mounted lights for a Jeep Liberty?

    Agreed. Had fair luck with their pods as work lights. However three out of eight had bad seals and ended up full of condensation. They still worked though. Should note their yellow fogs are too bright (and the wrong yellow wavelength) to be useful as actual fog/ whiteout lights. This is true of...

    Recommendation for roof mounted lights for a Jeep Liberty?

    Oz. Oz lighting is absolutely magnificent. Very affordable and durable. Light bars, pods, and such are off road use only. Using them street driving blinds other drivers and will get you fined by the police. See my KJ build thread. many posts on adding lights and wiring them up pproperly.

    "Working" from home today as in addition of my bullbar, a package of goodies from Bulletpoint Mounting solutions and a number of packages containing Moog and Old Man Emu parts are also arriving. Is like Xmas eve at the fortress of Squalitude!

    Wow. ARB never ceases to amaze me. Via their Scamazon store the bumper gets delivered tomorrow. Confused why the wanted me to wait 3 months for a stubby through other vendors but can get the Bondi deluxe, the biggest baddest one the sell in 4 days for free shipping.
