Tworley build

Parking outside definitely degrades them quicker too, batteries don’t like cold much. For the couple years we lived in the Midwest our batteries really suffered.

It's the repeated freeze/thaw cycles we often get. Our company truck batteries were lucky to last 2-3 years. The boss who lived in Chicago and had his trucks parked inside the warehouse never understood why that mattered.

I had a regular dealer installed "Mopar" battery that lasted 5 years through Wyoming and Chicago winters. Nothing wrong with it when I swapped it out either. I went with an Odyssey just so I had a baseline. More expensive but I'm interested to see how long it lasts.

Ahhh Jeep life. If it isn't one thing it's something else.

and when you fix an ongoing problem a new one transpires

Hit 150k tonight!

Time for your junk to start falling apart again!

Debating putting my old headlights back in. The LEDs were horrible tonight during a snow event, I could barely see the highway at times and these were on low beams

 

[hosejockey61]

get some of those headlight eyelashes....that might help to keep the glare down...

I'm getting pretty good at finding hardtops

This price was too good to pass up. I might run this for a minute and then sell. Also included a grill

Your Jeep looks like a Mexican wedding...

Don’t do it, you’ll get used to the quiet then buy a Prius.

We'll see...

The added security would feel nice, especially when traveling for work. But I keep having to remind myself that I have absolutely no place to store this in the spring and summer. Once the glass gets here and I get a fresh coat of paint on it I should just throw it back on Craigslist.

I'd imagine you'd make a fair bit selling it during winter in CO. What's your plan with the grill? A cool wall hanger?

He's going to give it to me.

Yep. I had an old CJ grill in the garage that I sold and I enjoyed the look. This grill is the replacement

He's going to give it to me.

You have a problem

 

[hosejockey61]

You have a problem

So does my wife with purses...

...but at least my grille collection is practical

Replaced the inner shift boot today

Also installed a 32" box for my recovery and air gear. Drilled out the footman loops and put in nutserts

 

[jesseshoots]

You’ll hate that you didn’t replace the inner boot sooner with how cheap it is. It made such a difference in cabin temp in mine. The tool box looks sweet!

I replaced it about 4 years ago. Definitely could feel the heat earlier this summer

Huffed a little paint this afternoon
