Getting first oil change at Greenway DCJR dealer in Orlando and so far nervous, I mentioned how many quarts their website listed when I scheduled, to my service advisor Isahi showing 6 quarts. He argued that was accurate, I told him the owners manual states 5. Isahi then went onto stating it’s 5 plus some due to filter so they round it up to 6… No it doesn’t, put 5 in because that what the manual states. Told him as an aircraft owner and mechanic, I am very anal about maintenance and want it done by the book.

I pointed out some issues with paint quality around the hinges, not being covered fully and can see primer and in some spots aluminum. It’s not exactly the easy to spot, but once seen it can’t be unseen and I am concern with eventual corrosion. He was very aware of the paint bubbling and said they will have to get permission from Chrysler to get the parts and paint match then install… Wasn’t going to argue that, I know the process is more then just that and will ultimately involve them painting a good portion of the vehicle to blend it. But at least the process will be started or at least documented. Hopefully all goes well and I only get 5 quarts.

Paperwork I received back says 5 quarts, didn’t verify (yet). But could tell they didn’t rotate my tires... Not going to push that, intend to put a lift with 37s before I hit 10,000 miles anyways and sure the next owner of my wheels and tires will be okay with it; plus they will have a zero mile spare.

They will notify me when they get approval about my hinge issues, still not exited about my new rig needing to be repainted due to poor quality. But I am concerned about potential corrosion down the road and want to be on top of it... Any damage to the body or paint, needs to be done by me and have a story. But factory defects, besides orange peel (tolerable) isn’t acceptable in my opinion at this price point.

I spun a tire in the landscaping. The black rock on the corner with the white spot get ran over on purpose about four or five times a week.

Wife and I went looking for an old ghost town, not much left just some stairs to a root cellar or it’s a cow vat, no one seems to know for sure. It was a town in 1880s thru early 1930s.......

Retired from Corrections....I have stories.
Our local Jeep dealer is pretty cool. They hosted a Jeep meet and greet last night and provided free Angus burgers and stuff.

Took the Jeep out there. I have very good relationship with them. They have also sponsored Jeep trail runs that I have led. They have asked me to do another, I just have not had time to work it in with the other wheeling that I have planed.

So pics from the last night.

There were many more Jeeps here of every model. The Jeep gatherings in our area are always a good time.

I drove to my favorite pro OPE dealer to pick up two sets of mower blades. I can sharpen a blade, but their tech puts on a lasting edge on that I can shave with. That's worth paying for.

While there, I perused a $17K Scag.

My wife packed the Jeep and took our daughter and grandkids to Yosemite for a week while I stay here awaiting rotator cuff surgery... Yay.
Sounds like a perfect opportunity to shop for more Jeep stuff
