I'm a parent of a two year old so my time is not my own, but I'd like to be more active. I've got a CRD and plan on doing the dreaded timing belt change this weekend...or at least get started on it. Trying to teach the little one to turn a ratchet to get in those tight spaces. ;-)

Hey so anybody else drive to work today after enjoying their commute on the "treacherous" roads earlier in the week, only to find them full of SLOW idiots who can't tell a dry road from an icy one? Grr! I was admittedly more impatient than I should of been, but going anywhere on perfectly dry pavement at 5 under the 35mph speed limit behind a full size 4x4 Ram for 10 miles might do that to anyone. Anyone else have as much fun?

I tapped this on my tablet while hiding in the bathroom from my wife and daughter. ;-)

I know how you feel man. I was at Harbor Freight again and picked up an air hammer and an angle grinder this time. I could spend so much money there if I'm not careful it's not even funny the prices are too good!

Drove home in the freezing rain at 1am this morning. The roads were bad but the Liberty was rock solid. It never spun a tire. Drove it in 2wd the whole way. I hope everyone else made it through the storm safely!

Salted the North side ROOF and gutters to try and get rid of the ice build up before this next storm. :banghead:

Yea all these storms are getting a little old :furious:

They're getting old, but it's been allowing me to practice driving in the snow.
I wouldn't even think about driving my last car in the snow. 300 hp and posi rear was a bit difficult in snow and not worth the risk. Now my KK is the rescue vehicle in the snow.

TheBlueKJ · **Posted:** Wed Feb 12, 2014 11:32 pm

yea that must have been pretty scary to do :grim:

Gageraid · **Posted:** Thu Feb 13, 2014 12:53 am

Yes. Only drove in the snow like 2 times in it before. You can imagine how much safer I feel now in a vehicle built to handle it all.
What's next with your KJ?

Advantage of a lifted Jeep! Snow just blows right on by!

Headed out to shovel now :banghead:

Thanks

After a lot of digging and airing down to 15psi I managed to get my trailer out of the yard. What a mess. Going to try to go pick up my 4:10's tomorrow. :pepper:

Mission accomplished!

Sweet, John!!! Are you going to swap the 4.10's in at Mudd's Garage, like TwoBobsKJ did in the fall? (I think it was him)

Now's the time to really give those bad boys a good clean up!

Don't worry they will be scrubbed and painted before install.

The rain and snow have started here - calling for 4"-8" tonight!

TheBlueKJ · **Posted:** Sun Mar 02, 2014 2:53 pm

I had to leave the Arnold Classic in Columbus Ohio cause of this weather, calling for 8"-14" or so here :cry:
