Replaced starter since it started grinding sometimes. Ran CB coax cable. I will finish the rest of my CB install tomorrow if I have time.

I went to start my cherokee today and it didn't start, just turned over, so now tomorrow im gonna pull the plugs and wires, and do a tune up, hopefully it starts after that, but somehow i don't think that's the problem.

Today, I used my Jeep for recovery. I got called to go rescue a Toyota Sequoia so I went with my XJ and my buddy with his Yota. All three trucks got stuck. So, I used my gray matter and decided it would be best to push everyone out instead of getting one out and trying to pull. We pushed out my buddy's Yota first. Then we pushed out the Sequoia which took about 10 minutes and ended up with lots of mud flying up my nose...not fun. After we got that out, we pushed my Jeep out, which was in the deepest stuff, but came out pretty easily. I guess I didn't actually use my XJ to recover a vehicle, but we managed to get 3 vehicles stuck and got 3 out. Then after I got home and took a shower, my other buddy called me and said his ZJ was stuck. I went over there with my buddy and scoffed at how "stuck" he was. My buddy climbed in, put it in 4LO and drove it out without even spinning the tires. Tonight was a night full of getting stuck and unstuck. At least it was fun, though.
