Planning on replacing them in Austin. Or going to do BPEs. Currently driving from Tulsa. There is nothing in Oklahoma lol

Careful with the weather man. There's a lot of bad weather rolling through.

The plot thickens. I'll definitely let you know when I'm coming back through your neck of the woods

In other news, coolant leak has been discovered. Looks to be coming from the radiator cap. Might stop by a store ASAP to get a new one, although I'm unsure of what will be open today

What kind of lift are you running? I'm undecided about doing a second cross country trip on my 2001 or just getting a rental.

3 inch zone lift. 31x10.5R15 Firestone destination AT tires. Jee has been holding up stellar so far. Minus the bushings and now this rad cap

Ended up getting a new radiator cap today and replaced my power steering fluid, what was left of it, with Lucas Oil Power Steering Stop Leak. I was getting a loud whine whenever i turned and went to the forum and it said to give it a try so I did and it worked perfectly.

Drove through the "blizzard" today. Lol. I must not have hit a bad part of it because there was no more than a few inches on the ground at the worst part. Went form Lubbock TX to Albuquerque NM.
