Moving Day; daughter and son-in-law have a place of their own.
Loaded 2 jeeps and a closed trailer. Hauled it all to town and up to 3rd floor. All settled in. My back is sore.
I now have enough open space now to run a dance hall.
Funny I seem to be down two jeeps, one trailer, and have an abandoned nissan in my yard? Hey, no way, that's not a fair trade!

Plasti-Dipped my fender flares, grill, bezels and bumpers. Had to remove my skid plate to take off my Baja's again... while under there I accidentally laid my head on my air ratchet and when it went "ZZZZZ" I jumped so hard and hit my forehead on the edge of the skid plate right above the eye... OUCH!!!!! I guess that's payback for all those times when I was a kid and I honked the horn on my dad when he was working under the hood!

Anyways... let me know what you think!

Drove her to the auto show and sAt in the new wrangler and GC. Lot of nice cars coming out. Best thing jeep had a big test trail set up outside and it was sick. When I get a chance I'll upload some pics not sure how to do it straight from iPod. I was able to explain jeeps features better than then people there lol. Beat part of the day My GF said the GC was the most comfortable car out of all the cars there.

Edt: oh cool pics uploaded. There two more course that showed traction up an Icey hill and flexing of the suspension

Thanks everyone! It's called Plasti-dip. It was originally used to dip tools in to insulate the handles. They put in spray can form and it's great if you want to paint wheels or other things. The best part is if you don't like it or you mess up... it peels right off because it's a rubber based paint. I messed up twice, and peeled and re-painted.

Yesterday I did a tune-up, oil change and new battery terminals.... I picked up an '88(4.0 w/107k) last week I found for sale on the side of the road after weeks of searching from CL, gave it a jump and drove it home from an hour and a half away with my fingers crossed. It felt like it could use a tune up and when I removed the plugs and saw under the cap I couldn't believe it even ran as good as it did, then I changed the filter that was caked with all sorts of stuff now it runs great. The guy I bought it from said the battery was no good, I changed the terminals and cleaned the posts and it started up tonight after sitting overnight and all day. Now it runs great..... !!!
