Re: What did you do to your wheeler today?
I replaced my 5.5" springs with 3.5" springs on my LJ. Was tired of the body roll around corners and behavior in crosswinds. Have some minor track bar adjustments to make today.

I spent $4 washing the oily crude from the underneath in preparation for a Spring inspection.
I don't Text (at least not very well), I eat Blackberrys, and I only Twitter after sex...

Re: What did you do to your wheeler today?
Well... I did something spontaneous over the weekend... traded away my little red LJ for this:
If anyone is interested in the LJ, it is at the Lithia Jeep dealership in Kennewick.

Re: What did you do to your wheeler today?
Yep... new rig is certainly not as "rock worthy" as the LJ... but the JKUR will fill a dual-purpose role as a daily driver and family wheeler. I'll be shopping for a salvage / cheap TJ for a more carefree (don't need to drive it to work Monday morning) trail rig that I can push to it's limits.
