I'm happy the next guy answered this but yea normally I do any non fluid related repairs and services, cause my neighbors would call cops since they are asses if I did an oil change. That's what I'm also mad about I hate trusting my jeep in anyone's hands if I don't know them personally or their skills

Yeah they are sweet. I almost went with the winch bumper but I dont do any crazy trail stuff. Mainly just when I'm out hunting. So I got the front receiver mount in case I want to buy a winch and cradle. Otherwise I'll have a heavy duty come along and some straps with me.

I think the deluxe sliders are next for me too. Just gotta wait a couple months. The woman isnt too happy with the amount of stuff/money I've spent on the Jeep.

I got 3" BDS lift coils, sway bar links, adjustable trac bar, KC lights, smoked turn signal housings and changed the cluster lights to blue LED.

It's either sliders or a locker. Not sure which first though.

Yeah thats a lot of money there haha. I thought about a Detroit locker but I might just weld it...its way cheaper plus I haven't heard of anything going wrong unless you don't weld enough.

Since it was 75 degrees today on the 22nd of Feb, I decided to give my jeep a bath and a rub down with a microfiber towel.

Tulsa, we've had very little cold weather and practically no snow. A very nice winter for a change. Last year we set record snow fall and record cold. Two feet of snow just north of Tulsa and - 25 around the same area. With Oklahoma, you never what you'll get. Later during the summer of 11 we hit a record high as well. Think is was 113 in Tulsa.

Finally fixed my leaky pinion seal on the D30. I let it leak too long, and god knows when the fluid was last changed, but there was only about an inch of fluid in the housing, and it was blacker than the blackest black times infinity. Half a can of brake cleaner later, the molasses like crap was out of the carrier, and now hopefully it won't leak anymore.
The only oil I've seen worse than that was from an engine that sat in a field for 20 years.

I did it in the shop at school, and we had a strange mix of vehicles in there today, including my XJ, a ZJ, my buddy's Z31 300ZX, a twin turbo MK4 Supra, and an 09 Cummins Ram with $15,000 of mods on it.

i've heard bad things about if you mud or do river crossings, that moisture or water will get trapped and speed up rust.
