****** filters changed.

went to discount tire for a rotation. At first it was one stuck lug, told them okay to break it since they would cover the cost of repair. Then another one was stuck but I didn't okay it. So I'm got to be real careful with a RR wheel with 3 lugs and 2 broken studs till tomorrow morning to get it fixed at the referral garage.

:( thought it was going to be a happy day.


Amazing....has your KJ always been in AZ or did it come from a rust State?

it's always been in AZ.
I suspect they cross threaded the lug with their impact wrench the last time they rotated the tires.

I'll say I'm impressed they're covering the cost of it. The last time this happened in pepboys they refused to cover the cost.

That's why I do as much of my own work as possible...wish I had a 20-ton press, a drill press, a horizontal liquid-cooled bandsaw, a tube bender, and a TIG welder...wouldn't be no stopping me!

Oh, yeah....and a plasma cutter for those of you already planning your holiday shopping....:icon_lol:

Did you paint the "Caution" yellow on your fan shroud?

Both the "Caution Fan" & the "3.7L V-6" on the intake, were done years ago with yellow paint marker.

To ensure the Jeep remains reliable, & for it's many years of good service, I dedicate a new socket set, to keep in the Jeep!

He was prolly riding on the snubbers.

Nah still had a couple inches left. But they did touch a few times on bumps. And believe me I took it easy.

And I'm not sure of the brand of springs I got them from another member and they are really stiff. I'm guessing they are an old set of skyjackers. And I have the sensatracs with helper springs.

Yikes! And I was cringing when I hauled 1,100 lbs of cement in mine, and a load on the trailer.

I know that feeling, I hauled 1,300 lbs. of cement In the hatch, When I was weighing out at the dump the girl at the scale looked back and with a concerned voice asked where did my trailer go, I said "What Trailer?", She asked how did I bring 1,300 lbs. of cement in, She thought I was kidding when I said the back hatch.
