I moved mine so the roofers could put new shingles on the house.

It was Curtis, but we got hail the first part of September and most roofs out here are getting replaced. We still have to pay the deductible.

We were probably due for a roof anyway, so glad we were able to get it done.

I don't know about your area Curtis.

I changed the tires on POJ this weekend and mounted the 33's. I finished late yesterday afternoon. I had one that was very hard to get off of the rim or I would have finished Saturday, but I just ran out of energy. Now, tell me how when I mounted it yesterday I managed to mount it backwards (directional tire). The heck with it! I was so PO'd I just left it. Maybe in a day or two I'll feel like pulling it off and re-mounting it.

I have an old manual tire machine, so it is all grunt work with tire irons. It is a good workout, but for this old guy it may be getting to be too much. I'm too cheap though to take it in and pay someone $20 to mount it.

Woohoo, POJ w/33's, look out!

Guess we'll have to go break them in out at the ORV

I changed out the serpentine and AC belt on the Denali this weekend. Quickest belt change I've ever done, even with rounding up tools it took under 5 minutes. Helps when there isn't a pesky clutch fan in the way, factory electric fans are awesome.

I also threw in an old school set (like 20 years old) sub\amp in the YJ. Need to build a custom box behind the backseat but it's working for now with the seat folded up.

Replaced the starter

The starter locked up. I it replaced with a mini pmgr starter. It was only about $15 more. That was an easy upgrade and it works great. Sounds different when cranking.

Mine is in mothballs awhile. Sadly, I suffered the death of My mother on Nov 11th, so right now I'm struggling to find a place to store/work on it, and possibly another place to live as I may not be able to stay in the house Keep Me in your prayers guys
