Literally the only thing I've ever used my hi-lift for.

Lol wasn’t even my hi-lift. Buddy bought it hoping to level the shed. Once they jacked the shed It went on it’s own and shifted back towards his neighbours fence... That’s when he called me, I was hesitant as I know how dangerous those hi lifts are, so we’d Jack it, do a small pull. Re align everything and start over.

Replaced my backup light switch today which fixed my backup light issue. I meant to change my differential oil but somehow didn't get to that. A friends visit and beers might have impacted the progress.....

Is it recommended to use heaver weight oil when your rear end has many miles on it? Over 200,000.
 
Just got done giving the rig a washing and waxing. With my luck it will rain all week😑

Here in Florida, I've found that its generally better to wash just before, or just as, rain starts. That way you get it washed, and the rinse water is pure so it doesn't leave spots!

Yeah I get the Lake Erie rain up here so that leaves spots and whatever chemicals are hangout in the lake that day
 
I use diluted liquid car wax when I wash the Jeep. It is supposed to stop the water spots. The gallon I bought is probably going to last a couple years.
11:30 has the pic of the bottle. I got mine at Auto Zone (I think)

Thanks! I remember seeing pictures of yours and it looked like they turned out pretty good. Hardest part is gonna be matching the paint.

ha.. yes sir.. I just went with the paint code and used it.. obviously it’s not a match as far as old to new But honestly I’m the only one who notices.. you paint looks pretty good so I wouldn’t worry to much about shading it in..

Good steering components are essential with big tires..at least eventually, in my book.

It's not that stock components are bad, they are just designed for smaller tires and less stress.

Absolutely, it will eventually be getting 35” tires and Metalcloak overline fenders. If it needs to be replaced, minus well upgrade it. Boss is swapping to Dana 60’s on his tj this winter. That’s when I’ll get his Dana 30/Dana 44 with arb lockers and chromoly shafts!
