Well the time has come to start putting some TLC back into the Jeep. My wife is due with our 3rd baby anyday now so the rides will be on hold for a few months and so what better time to get it back into shape. After a year of hard wheeling, the trails have taken a toll on the suspension and parts. After the Harlan trip the Jeep was a disaster. Mud was everywhere and I knew the suspension needed some lovin so it was time to clean and replace parts. I started by painting the frame, axles, control arms and the springs (with a brush) bumpers and sliders. Also repainted the doors and still need to repaint the wheels, corners and flares. Going to try and pull the dash parts out and paint them as well. Overall the Jeep looks great and I will for sure hate to get it in the mud again. I still have to replace all the lower control arm bushings, change the rear fluid, trans case fluid and oil. Going to check the plugs, and every nut and bolt on the Jeep. I also am getting ready to put my Genright heat extractors on soon. The weather will be changing to cooler days so the hardtop and hard doors will be making there way back on the Jeep sometime. I actually enjoy cleaning and making the Jeep look better and I know the Jeep is thanking me... in it's own way.
Look good Ben.
