Came home from vacation and had to pick the Jeep up from the shop. My wonderful wife had a Rockhard sport cage installed unbeknownst to me!

Did the first oil change on the new gears. Installed the blue monkey and it actually matches the gps, within reason. Installed the Savvy gas tank skid. Removed the old rear bumper with tire carrier in preparation for the moryde & Savvy bumper.

Very enjoyable! Absolutely loved Queenstown and the Milford Sound. Some of the most scenic mountains I’ve been around. But the diving in Fiji beats NZ and Australia.
Oh yeah all the way down there......that's about as far away from my city as you can get haha. Beautiful part of NZ. Have to agree with you about Fiji though, warm, clear water is hard to beat.

We spent three nights in Auckland. Not a bad place but it’s just another big city. My wife wanted to see the glow worm cave. BORING!!

Thinking about it..:BangHead: I could have taken you out to a few spots, depending on the day and my work.

Bud I think we had 1/2 a free day while there. My wife had most of our time booked up before we ever left the states.
But on a side note, I now know how you got the ducks in POTM. Every duck I seen in NZ would literally eat out of your hand! I have pictures to prove it.
Beautiful country, if I ever go back we will be renting a sprinter van so we can enjoy the country side. My only beef would be you guys don’t show college football. Nobody cares about cricket ;)

Took it off the road so the salt doesn’t eat it all winter. All non-Jeep people think i’m crazy for not using it in winter with all the snow we get here. If only Jeep used galvanized metal, oh well.
They actually do used galvanized metal (in the tub, anyway). I'm with you though. Jeep spends the winter in my barn...away from the salt and crap.

Gotta love a yellow TJ!!

Didn't do anything this weekend but gonna fix the console finally. Came home Sunday night from being out of town though and noticed some oil on the ground at the very front of the TJ. Checked and noticed I probably had a whole extra quart in there, my wife took it to get it changed about a month ago. Hoping I didn't bust any seals, I'm cry if I did but probably gonna call the shop that did the oil anyway and let them know what they did. Maybe if I do have to fix it I can get some compensation for their screw up.
 
Had a real soft spongey pedal yesterday morning and found that passenger side wheel cylinder had a small leak so I pulled out ol big red and put the Jeep in her spot in the garage and turned on the heater for a nice n easy warm job. (Ended up swapping wheel cylinders on both sides)

Pretty sure I have a bad cylinder in mine. Every now and then it will grab and skid the rear driver side just by tapping the pedal. Where did you get the replacements?
