You described this one to a tee, just blacked out with red neon. Makes me want to go and ask him what the Jeep ever did to deserve that. For some reason though I don't think he would understand.

Black Jeep, Charcoal Jeep we're all equals in mud's eyes.

The halfway point apparently would be some flyspeck called Nezah in Ontario. Can you imagine if we could get a bunch of Jeepers together for a week and just decend on some poor unsuspecting village. According to Google there is an abundance of old logging roads and black bears, sounds perfect to me.

 

i've got logging roads galore out here, just switch to the satellite images of northern New Brunswick and my part of Quebec as I'm literally 6 blocks away from the river lol

i know the back entrances to a few abandoned gravel pits all over the area as well... good jeepin trails, then some good clean gravel pit fun! some crazy modified jeep only trails, hill climbs, you name it... just wait for the spring/summer pics/videos to come out... alot of fun stuff in my area

im just glad to be out of the city... lol small towns for life haha

 

I agree with you there, even Fort McMurray is getting to big. Can't wait to get out of here permanently, me and the gf are living in Blairmore right now and we're going to be moving to Okotoks in the next few months. Going to be great to go wheeling in the mountains whenever I want instead of in the muskeg.

Put on a spare tire today. it is not in very good condition. I need tires. but it is not lifted yet. SIGH. so I am going with 235/85r16 or 265/75r16 for tires. BFG Mud terrain tires on clearence locally here. $176 each. going to see if I can get it installed at that price. likely will cause my brother knows a sales person there and just bought 2 sets of tires for his vehicle. I am prepared for major rubbing....LOL nothing a knife and plasma cutter wont fix.

 

265/75-16's are going to rub pretty good if you don't have a lift. Most guy's won't go that size until their around 3.5-4" of lift.
I just lucked out last night, my buddy's wife just started working at Kal Tire so she told me to call her before I bought my new tires this spring. 45% employee discount!!

Greetings,
Well, I tried to re-program my RKE (Remote Keyless Entry) system transmitter this afternoon coutesy of: Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ - Sentry key programming. Yup, got out the lawn chair, sunglasses and a beverage.
When I got my GC. only one "fob" worked. Took the inoperative unit apart, cleaned the contacts, changed batteries and went at her. Followed the instuctions at above link and DID get a response ONCE but I think the "fob" has failed.
I know this is small potatoes compared to most of you listees BUT that's what I did today.
Any suggestions for a name for her? I'm sort of leaning towards "Muriel".
Peter.

 

Muriel is good...
my jeep floats between Angie and Emma... my friend named her kid Emma so its kinda floated over to Angie...

i've been looking adding an additional key (since i have my spare hidden near the gas cap, and a transponder in my glovebox) and my key fob is missing the unlock button, so i think its time to get on ebay and pick up a couple... programing its gotta be fun

 

Hi Peter, I'm still sitting here at work taking a quick "dinner" break and still have 2 more meetings to go today so I'll be lucky to be home by 11. I am now in envy of your day. lol

By the way what did you use to clean the contacts with? For small stuff like that I've found the best thing is actually one of the white drafting erasers. Forget who told me about them but it works like a charm on contact points like these.

Dan

 

any copper connections (especially corroded) i use ketchup.
the combination of the vinegar and salt as an abrasive is great for getting the grime off... i cleaned a set of cymbals with a bottle of Heinz lol

white drafting erasers work great aswell... use to use them for PCI slots in the computer and crap lol
