Serviced transmission, new water pump, new thermostat and housing, flushed radiator, rebuilt starter, new NSS.
Found a bad relay under the dash that was apparently installed by previous owner for an alarm. It was on the trigger wire and would not allow it to start. That was a fun chase!

Went to an abandoned mall that's about 5 minutes from home, got stupid and thought it would be a good idea to try and climb some melting snow piles. Got stuck and some cars started showing up to watch, which is bad because the mall is in a somewhat dangerous area. I managed to get myself out by tapping my gas and brake quickly, using my hand brake quite a bit, and using 4 low and rocking the jeep back and forth while turning the wheel side to side. It took me around 10 minutes to get out and thank god I did.

I learned my lesson today,
1. I need to start mall crawl'n with more than one person
2. I need to get a running start before I start hi centering my diffs in snow
3. I need to not get stuck in bad areas
4. I need to get myself a rear diff locker

You know, lol, the same thing happened to me a few weeks back. It was late at night and I was bored so I went behind the movie theater and tried snow crawling the mounds there. Snow was too soft though so eventually high centered myself. Good thing for 4low though.

And before i get ridiculed, it's not that I'm dumb to go out alone it's just there's no one around me that has a decent off road 4wd or truck. Everyone has there lil BMW and such so I pick and choose decent siZe mounds

I went to a tint shop. Cost 74.90. Lumar tint with lifetime warrenty. I think it looks pretty good. It was 15%. This pics has glares so they look little different but it matches perfect.
