    After Drummond, the Jeep was definitely pretty dang dirty...inside and out! We had fun! And the best part was that I had a free inside and outside detailing from Szott's M-59 Jeep dealer! So I didn't actually have to clean anything up this time! Don't get me wrong, i enjoy the cleaning process...

    I however did not make it out of Drummond without some issues... First off, on the trip up, I had an issue with the Passenger Front Brake Caliper, that after around 4 hours of driving, it would just lock up and not release pressure on the rotors. Once it cooled down, it released enough to drive...

    And then for day 2! Day 2's most notable obstacle was The Steps at Marble Head! The trail was also one of Jeep's Badge of Honor Trails! Though this day also included some very challenging slick mud pits which slowed us down a good bit, but we all made it through with no straps or winches, just...

    Next, on to the Interior/Electronic Mods as of late! First up was a new CB antenna as I had snapped mine earlier in July at Rocks and Valley. I decided instead of going with another 4' Firestik, I would upgrade to a 102" (8 1/2') Whip Antenna! It is more flexible, better range, more of an ideal...

    As mentioned above in the last post, I had an issue with the rear brakes in my Jeep after getting home from Rocks & Valleys ORV Park. I lost a rear brake pad out of the caliper. So, here we go with more expenses on the Jeep...since one came out, I decided it best to work on all 4 brakes as the...

    Also had a few various travels and adventures throughout the summer months here, and got lucky for one of my work trips and managed to snag a Jeep Cherokee for my rental. I was actually pretty happy with it, at least for not being my Jeep, it wasn't too bad! And especially for a mostly highway...

    Had a great time back in May as well with the Wolverine Wheelers at our Go Topless day event! Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate the best for too much topless weather until later in the day, but it was still a great time! And we had a great turnout of Jeeps! I believe it was just over...

Man did the old nerf bars not want to come off at all! i was able to get the tubes themselves off the brackets themselves relatively easy, however the brackets did not want to let go of the body side of the Jeep! I They...

    The Jeep then had to go in for a Takata airbag recall on the passenger side airbag in late February... So the Jeep went out to Suburban Jeep in Troy, and luckily, they had a really nice rental for me to be able to take! I got a brand new JL with the 2.0 Turbo to drive around for the day...
