Woke up to nearly 7 inches of snow this morning. After having to go rescue a coworker and take him to work after his car ran off the road, I shoveled out a work space and put the snow tires the Jeep.

Since I don't plan on towing the camper over the winter, I removed the helper leaves while I had the rear wheels off. They did not go willingly.

Nothing. Just kinda stared at it.





Also threw a new muffler on it. No more straight-pipe for me. I like being able to hear music and conversation with my friends while I'm driving... and just being able to hear myself think is nice every now and then

Lol. My holy muffler was unbearable. I'll let the kids do their loud mufflers or straight pipe. I can't explain how smooth my jeep riddles now that I have a proper muffler. Doesn't sound obnoxious driving up my block at night

Did a meet n greet run with the Jeep club to some apple orchards. Left for the third one after convincing the lady to go doorless and a ujoint strap blew off and I dropped the rear shaft. Decided to just pull it and go instead of swapping in my spare. Had to pull over to check something and when one of the guys went to spin around to come back to me, a car decided to try going around him and they collided and bent his tie rod. Luckily he is still running stock, and I have two stock setups at home.

Finished up replacing most DW items and still have it. Did all steering, ball joints and track bar. Still need an alignment but could unbalanced tires still cause death wobble? Or would it just be shaking?

click for full res
Even welded a washer on the bolt for the axle side track bar mount.

Edit: O and sliced a hole in my air line. Good excuse to get a reel and upgrade.

Yeah earlier than I was ready for. Usually don't break out the studded tires until the 2nd week of October.

Dug out my other car today so it could get it's winter tires, and threw the Jeep's winter spare up on the roof rack.

Thrush Turbo... basically the same thing. 30 bucks at AZ

Sounds great! Little louder thatn factory (especially with a hi-flow cat and 2.5" pipe) but definitely not too loud to be able to hear conversation and music in a jeep with no carpet.
