What did you do WITH your Jeep today.

[omnitonic]

I tested the theory that my Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ P3 mud tires are totally worthless and horrible in ice and snow. The reviews had me worried. Maybe my standards are too low, and maybe I wasn't driving as fast as a Yooper or a Kanukistani, but whatever, they certainly seem capable for my purposes. I thought about using the winch a couple of times, but I never had to resort to that, and I did some idiotic things, like driving over a mound of snow a plow had piled up, and climbing a solid sheet of ice on a slope. The big mound of snow almost got me stuck, but as my dear old mother used to say, before she left this shitty world, "Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades."

Kind of satisfying that I was just a leeeetle taller than these other guys, even if I did "settle" for 35s.

These tires left nice footprints.

I also got some drone video going up a steep hill, with a solid sheet of ice at the top. The Jeep never missed a beat. I'm in the process of editing that together right now.

A month ago I made a appointment to have my mopar lift installed at a dealer an hour+ away from me, I get there yesterday 20 mins (8:10am) before my apt time and it took them an hour for me to talk to a service advisor and drop it off, I get back before they close and they tell me they can't break the bolts lose, that they are half way done and they need their master mechanic who's coming in tomorrow to do it.

So they send enterprise to pick me up and say that they'll knock off what I paid for the rental car off the price I'm paying for the install and they'll call me today to give me an update and it should be ready today.

Tell me that's just brown slush and not rust on your driver-side rock rail.

LOL i can install the mopar lift in my driveway by my self in that time frame. Did my mom JKU lift completely alone in 6 hours including all the control arms and track bars. even got the alignment within spec according the the alignment shop LOL that sucks man. hopefully they get you done today!

Ha! Love the Mojito color , but when I started looking back in June used prices were stupid high, so I found a dealer who honored Costco pricing and ordered a Hydro Blue Rubicon. Look around you may find a dealer who will treat ya right.

now if Mojito comes back for 2023…and may have to make a change…

Bastards, went to dealer to sign the paperwork and this had just came in. Didn’t think it would Fit in my garage, salesperson said take it and try, it did and this is the best riding 4WD I have ever driven. Now I have to change forums…

After waiting 2.5 days and the jeep dealership screwing around, I finally picked it up, so far it drives good but I'll give it a better inspection today

It has been an eventful week. Last weekend it snowed then rained creating a heavy wet mess. A friend of my neighbor was doing his driveway and was nice enough to do mine as well. I guess he felt sorry for me. Well, I ran into the house to grab my Jeep key so I could move it out of the way. All good so far.

Monday my wife does wash and to my joy I left my fob in my pocket! Well, put it on Rice and hope for the best! I guess they are sealed pretty well as it works just fine.

Then my wife finds her latest marketplace deal, a couch! On Tuesday we take her car to go look at it and end up buying it. BUT it won'f fit in her car. So give the lady a deposit. 2 hours round trip drive.

Wednesday we take the Jeep down to pick it up. Hour drive there no big deal. Go to put the couch in the Jeep knowing it was too long to close the back but thought the height would be fine. Turns out its rises in the middle and wouldn't go in as far as I expected. So cover it with plastic sheeting, tape that down. Then tie it down to the Jeep and secure the door. On the drive home it was like playing a video game avoiding any puddles or water running across the road, remember it snowed a few days ago and now a lot of that is melting.

So a few pictures of how the couch fit!
