What I've learned in the Jeep

[sarah]

today i learned that stuff can fly out of the back seat and into the street when you take a sharp turn!

You can put an eye out with the wipping action of the tightening threads of a hooded sweatshirt when driving with no doors on the freeway.

today i learned that the 231 transfer case is not "shift on the fly" without a front driveshaft... :yay:

It does block the heat, i swear. Try driving an early Jeep with Fenderwell headers. Damn, that floor get hot.

I still don't have carpet in my Jeep though. Heat or not!

BAH!!

preventative maintenenance is far better than on the trail maintenance... not necesarilly from personal experience, but from watching the ill-equipped.

It's laminated safety glass. The shop will just cut it to fit the Jeep, instead of finding a pre-cut piece.

Yup, that's the stuff!

Be careful with the type of glass you put in there. In case you didn't know, normal "window" (as in house window) glass splinters when it shatters and will cut you all to heck. The glass used in windshields doesn't do that.

Also, I always insist on using domestic glass instead of imported glass. It doesn't chip, pit or crack as easily as the imported stuff. Of course, it costs more.

Something Dan and I have both learned recently:

If you can remove your windshield when wheeling, do it. It's one less thing you have to replace.


Oh, BTW, my windshield which is a flat piece of glass, was quoted at 120-160 dollars. Finally found a glass shop in town that will cut it and install, for a little less than $100. Who woulda thought that a flat piece of glass would be so much.

I dunno....I think if I would have left the "rubicon springs mud" in there it would be stinking pretty bad about now.

I must disagree. Capet does a outstanding job of collecting and holding water and mud when you get in a little too deep. The mud and water then obsorb the heat from the floorboards, keeping them cooler.

Another benifit is when it dries up, the carpet really smells bad, so would be theives just move along to a "better smelling" jeep to steal.

HAHAHAHA!! that rocks! the carpet doesn't smell bad if you leave the doors off ... and i agree about the cool-ness. rick's jeep is smokin hot - i'd hate to be in that thing without carpet!
