    I had to rinse mine off when I got home last weekend. It takes 8 times longer to do anything when dirty.

    I havnt done to much to the JEEP recently due to shoulder surgery.
    I did get a new toy for the JEEP, a SetPower RV45s 12 volt refrigerator. Tymbom was running 1 of these on the Rubicon trip, and was impressed with it. I normally run my Yeti, but it was sooo hot on the trip I was out of ice on day 2. The SetPower was on sale for $310.00.

    Also bought the slider for it so I can get into it without unloading everything.

    Needs the fuel lines finished, and grill and radiator installed and hopefully my DUI distributor should be back soon. The pin holding spring to advance cams was broke.

    The price is right. Was Jon happy with it? I have an ARB and love it. But a lot more expensive obviously. So nice to be done with ice.

    Jon was happy with it, he was testing it on the trip by unplugging it to see if it would hold temperature, didn’t seem to have any issues with it. When I got it I plugged it into the wall and it dropped down from 68* to 0* in about 1/2 hour. I turned it off and checked about 8 hours later and it had only come up to 40* empty. That’s not to bad, it was in the house at about 78*.

    I’m still running original alternator with single battery, always thought if it wasn’t broke didn’t need fix’n. With all the electrical crap I keep adding it might be time to put an upgrade on the list of things to do.

    I finally spent a little time under the JEEP today, changing fuel lines. (Got the front tank changed as far as I could)
    pulled the filter on the front tank and found it full of aluminum and copper pieces. I don’t know where these came from, kinda looks like drill shavings. Started looking at under seat fuel tank and found sending unit is coming apart so I ordered a new one. The tank only has a couple gallons in it so I’m going to pull it and dump the fuel and see if I can clean it out.
    Still need to check the rear fuel line and filter.
