Yeah, I know. My one indulgence. I heard it on another Jeep (although it was a Grand Cherokee) and it sounded so good, I just HAD to have it!

I'm not sure where my leak is, to be honest. I don't know a thing about vehicles, but I'm trying... when I first noticed it was the leak, it looked like it was coming from under the upper rad hose, so I bought a new one and replaced it. But then I noticed it was allllways wet "looking" where the fan was, so I'm thinking it's my rad. Since I put the stop leak in, though, I've seen nothing.

Cross your fingers for me.. I've got a long drive next week through the Canadian Rockies.

Got my back seats and rear carpet and all the panels back in. And finished scraping all the sound deadener pads off under the rear seat. No more bad smell and everything's clean.

And then I took my console out and fixed its wobbling problem. So happy that I took care of that, no more wobbling.

Oh and I added some Christmas scented air freshenors
