Hey old fart, sorry im just getting back to ya, but it does have a remote output as well as a rear camera output (doesn't have to be a rearview camera) but there RCA jacks... and most CCTV cameras all run off of 12v so their super friendly to wire up in the jeep if the need be...

Today was some fluids changed, 365,000km on the jeep, i drained the tranny, transfercase (which had gear oil not ATF as specified (that would likely be Canadian Tires fault)) and both axles... front had a bit of sludge cause my ventilation hose was extremely low and must have drawn in some water, but its mounted high now...

what a difference in acceleration though, hopefully some gas mileage will return!

Oh and Dan, are you out there buddy!

Hi Mike!
Been out of touch for awhile. Was working up in northern BC for a bit and no internet. Not a nice place to be in the winter let me tell you.
Parked the Jeep while I was gone so nothing done there but it sounds like you've managed to get everything done on your Jeep since I was here last, congrats! Still looking for another silverblade rim, looks like I'm going to have to bite the bullet and get one from the stealership.

I had my tranny cooler line break on the jeep, i checked my fluid and my parking spot and it was a little low, told the GF i'll bring it in the shop and top it off... when my boss showed up it looked like someone had stabbed the ever living crap out of my pan,
so much ATF on the ground, i got it up on the hoist and thought it was comming from my Rad... but then sourced it do a unplugged line... the last person to work on the tranny didn't flare out the tube so the clamp would hold tight...

then it leaked anyway so i bent a new line...

Installed my new Ebrake shoes, and took the hot wrench to a couple of broken bolts in my seat... so if i tip this one, i wont spill out onto the road.

ohh and got my front license plate mounted... i HATE front license plates...

but yeah i hear ya Dan, i seem to be on once or twice a week (for more than a few seconds anyways) but lifes been turned around in a totally positive way, moving home has been the greatest move of my life (again lol) but i dont think im EVER residing in the united states again... you guys are stuck with me lol

I still have my ZJ down there, sent down some seals and bearings, and an entire 4.0L engine gasket kit... and am going to have my buddy put it together for me, then pick it up in running order...

Sounds like your having all kinds of fun Mike. Looks like I may be relocating to the Vernon area for possibly about a year. I love the place but it's so bloody expensive, and there are so many pavement princesses out in that area! I swear if you have a pickup out there it has to have a 6" lift and 35's on it, and enough chrome to blind pilots coming in on their approach run. Pretty pathetic actually.
Will find out in a couple of weeks if it's going to happen or not. Should make a good looking convoy though, a moving truck followed by 5 Jeeps! Oh look it's a parade!

haha i can imagine lol, be cheaper to buy some tow bars and drag the other jeeps along lol

I've decided to get an gas saver for the woman... she's driving the jeep a hour every day, and not making $0.02 doing so, yep your getting an Echo! lol
but im picking up a 03 Toyota Echo for next to nothing, in REALLY good shape, no rust, and im rebuilding the tranny as we speak... has a 3 week old clutch, but needs a new bearing in the trans, debating on new bearing plus new housing (as there was some damage to the housing... hell i'll just tack it in place haha...

but in just a few months, the car will pay for itself in the fuel savings...

Out in Vernon looking at some places to rent, 1.16/L for regular out here...ouch!

CrazyWJ242

5 cents a liter higher than way out here...

so i went for a little spin today... decided to take a shot of the jeep...



Sigh i need to head to the scrap yard and get a new fog light already...
and i REALLY like the way that Compass looks... lol

CrazyWJ242

This girl is after my own heart LOL

so today i decided not to get the eco box! due to complications with the insurance company, who want me to be the primary driver on the jeep since she's the primary on the echo... and want to charge us a small fortune on insurance (paying more than double what we paid for the vehicles per year) she said screw it, lets take the money we'd be spending on the car, and put it into the jeep!

but since i've taken care of all the fluids, i've only got a few options go big, or try and save some gas in it lol...

04WJGuy

Keep her!! Gotta luv Jeep girls.
