What did you do to your jeep today?

[LibertyTC]

Glad your gap & choice of plugs/ installation went well.
Ya it is easier if you just remove the two nuts on the reservoir and move it back a bit.
The first time I did the plugs was also about 2 hours, now I can do them in less than 45, still taking my time.
It is one of the easier vehicles to swap plugs on!

it'll never beat doing plugs on my K-car

After a long and lengthy time spent in garage (new lift, new tires, new motor, new all the little bit), Liberty finally Made it to work.. after 12 years of having a work car at home, i finally had to get a car to bring to work (well until my probation is up), and i can take my new work truck home with my new job....

Filled it with fuel priced at 60.9 cents/gallon...local market has deal with local convenience stores to discount fuel based on grocery purchases...felt like I was back in 1975!

Damn, I thought I did good at 1.94 a gallon.

Today was a new trans cooler and patch up the lines. I am really getting tired of looking up at my Jeep from underneath.

About 15 minutes? And half of that was finding the right socket?

Our Shell was $1.89/gal to start...we only had $0.30 off per gal, though, so we had to pay $1.59. If I only had to pay $0.609/gal, I think I'd pass out.

Did you have to wait in line like back during the embargo? :gr_grin:

Guess that was more like '74. Remember the odd even days?

I drove mine to work today with the sunroof open in December. That's just not right. :emotions34:

Yeah. Pull in line, shut off the car. Start it to move one spot up, turn it off. Ad infinitum until you could get your 5 gals or whatever the limit was.

When my brother was with us, he just pushed the car forward so Mom didn't have to start it each time.

I remember sitting in line in our '73 Pontiac Grand Safari. Those cars back then could burn a gallon just sitting there idling for 5 minutes :happy175:

We were either in the white whale (a big white Chevy station wagon w/three seats) or the Pontiac LeMans (I don't remember what year; Pontiac blue with the pebbly white hardtop). They both drank some fuel.

 

[tommudd]

Biggest joke ever that embargo back then
I was working about 45 miles from home driving a old Bronco every day
Would just pull in and fill up any time I wanted to at the local garage
Fun sitting watching the evening news about the cities with people in line. Never remember having more than a car or two in front of me. :icon_lol:

We never had the odd-even days, that was for city folk

 

[Jim McClain]

Same. Only lines I ever saw was on the TV. Getting gas any time you wanted, where I live, was the same then as it is now and always was. Only differences are the prices... oh, and the service. There are no "service" stations anymore.

 

[sota]

changes coasts, jim. we'd rather trust ISIS to pump our gas than our citizens.

 

[WickedBruce]

I'm so tired of these low gas prices. Let's kick that oil back up $30!!

Hush your mouth!

 

[LibertyTC]

Here our gas prices are ridiculously cluttered with taxation. $5.42 gallon We are being fleeced!
On TV & radio yesterday they are stating gas prices should be way lower than what they are here.

[projectkj]

we are at $1.00 a litre (up to 1.05.litre canadian)
1gallon = 3.78541Litre
figure im paying almost $3.79 a gallon(CANADIAN), and then the change over from canadian to us about 2.75/gallon...
