I was bored. And what do I usually do when I’m bored? I think of things that I could Plasti-dip on the Jeep.
Messing around in some soft sand with full tire pressure, you can really see how well the Vari-lok axels work.

We went quite a ways back into the Oceano Dunes with full tire pressure before we got stuck. After a little digging and dropping the tire pressure to 23psi I was able to get out on the second try. Normally I’d run the tires at about 13psi back in the dunes.

Replaced the throttle position sensor on my Jeep this morning. No more high revs at startup and no more surging rpm when the cruise control is set! 15 minutes and money well spent.

Today I took my Jeep all the way up to Shirley Peak at the Alta Sierra (Shirley Meadows) ski area. My dad and I drove all the way up Rancheria road and then came back home down Poso Flat road. We hit up plenty of side trails along the way and put my Grand Cherokee’s Quadra-Drive and low range gearbox to the test. It was definitely a fun afternoon of 4×4 off-roading with my dad.
