What did you do to your non Crossfire today
Saw this on another forum I visit and thought we could try it here.
Not to long ago my Cherokee went over the 100,000 mile mark so I have been doing quite a bit of fixin on it. Being on vacation the last ten days gave me a chance to address things like a new headliner, cooling system flush, oil change, tranny fluid change, t-case fluid change, lube and a tire rotation.
Today I turned my attention to detailing it. Washed, clay barred, waxed, polished and tire shined the exterior. Wiped down the interior, vacuumed and then worked on the door jambs and the engine compartment. Started at 9:00 am and finished around 8:30 this evening but, to be honest only about five of those hours were spent working on the Jeep.
Took a lunch and dinner break plus I made a trip to a boat dealer and picked up a 303 convertible top kit. That's a job for another day. For a fifteen year old Jeep it looks great, I am thinking of taking it to show this weekend.

Replaced the camshaft position sensor in my 2004 PT Cruiser Turbo. CEL came on during the drive home and with anything beyond just a slight dip of the throttle the car would buck like a wild bull. I limped home the last couple of miles, checked codes, ordered the part from the dealer ($55), picked it up on the way home the next day (drove the Crossfire to work that day) and installed it in about 10 minutes. Problem solved.

She needs the exercise and it does her good to get out of the house and get away from the housework for twenty minutes or so.

hi,,
Let's see, yesterday, the day before really, Jeff (Rocketchip) gave it a custom tune. Today I dropped it off for an alignment with my new tires and newly re-rebuilt suspension. Tommorow, well Friday really, I will give it a good long Italian tune up on the way to Sacramento.

Had my universal Rally Armor mudflaps custom installed on my SX4 AWD the other day. Had a shop build me some custo mounting brackets.
