I got my oil changed today at my local Jiffy Lube. For some reason (never happened before), the guy in the pit removed my engine skid. When he did, all these big rocks fell out. I am thinking that they were collected when we climbed that steep slope with all the lose dirt and rocks.
I was thinking that the rattling sound I kept hearing when I hit the skinny pedal meant my front diff was going south. Whew!

You are I think the first person I have ever heard say anything good about Jiffy Lube :shock: in the Denver area I have heard more horror story's from those with the oil pan plug stripped out :evil: Well at least your front diff is OK :D

Jiffy Lube stripped my plug, oil pan and put the wrong oil in it all in the same visit. They paid for the repairs though. Since then, the manager is always making sure everything is right.

I always find leftovers when doing maintenance!

Hey where were you coming from today?

You were going West on 70 at Cisco when I passed you going East on 70. That thing stood out from afar... looking sweet.

I was in the unmarked White Expedition with the LED lightbar and a marked K-9 Unit behind me.

I was heading home from Durango and a stop at Montrose. I was visiting all the good little JL retailers. I didn't think you'd be so far west.
Now I need a RL front bumper to to achieve Lv2 off-road sexuality and universal crunchiness.

Marty, you can use that if you want.
