Wagoneers and MJs being mostly Renix certainly help the case
I loved having my renix. I'm stuck with "high output" now.

That's pretty sweet.

By the way, don't ever buy this crap.

Thought I'd save a couple bucks by getting this instead of Blue Magic or Mothers aluminum polish and I guess you get what you pay for.

Blue Magic would have made these look brand new.
I don't really believe in any of turtles products

Tools keep the world going round. The Peep will roll 666000+ km this week (getting long in the tooth, just like me); we can't get that far just with oil changes. Gotta twirl a few wrenches, make a few sparks, and a good solid wallop with a hammer sometimes is the fixer.
Plus the pooch is a hard trail driver. When we come to a challenge, I ask should we take the bypass? She says, "Ruff!" Given er thru a field of 20 in of nice packing snow ended up with some brake lines replacement last week. Then later when I'm fixin the carnage the pooch is getting her beauty sleep. Hey what the? That's my bed!

Meanwhile inside Clint was working a skid plate mod and out we went for some testing. Chaining up the Peep is mighty tempting.
Lookin good. Keeping her running strong

Busy weekend. Did the headlight wiring harness and headlamp upgrade with great results. Not going to lift it and do the associated spending until the fall so I went ahead and put new tires on. Put on rancho rs5000 shocks to take the place of the beaten old ones. I installed a borla exhaust, an AEM brute force intake, new spark plugs, and the DUI firepower kit. All in all VERY happy with the upgrades.

My cousin came over and had the bright idea of taking the muffler off my jeep. So we did just to see how it sounded. And it's pretty loud! Can't decide if I want to leave it off or not.

It gets old fast. Ripped mine off on a trail, and I wanted a new one after a week.

Yeah I can imagine. We were bored and it seemed like a fun thing to try. We unbolted it so I can put it back on whenever
