It didn’t get above 20 degrees Fahrenheit yesterday. My Jeep sat for 7 hours outside. When I left my office I found a few dips on the snow and a rather large blue icicle under it. I think it’s a slow drip from the windshield wiper fluid overflow vent. It’s odd because the windshield washer fluid is only 80% full. I’m going to swap it out for a product that is rated for 0 degrees Fahrenheit. That ought to fix the issue.
This is a safe space, right? My name is Brad and I have death wobble. Or, should I say, had death wobble. My stock tie rod was frowning (bent) and was effecting the alignment of the Jeep. Like most Jeeps with death wobble it presented itself at road speeds of 35-55 mph. Any uneven or

Midwest Jeepthing had it’s annual Valentine’s run February 10th, 2018. This year the event was held at Moonlight Racing in Sullivan, MO. The park has diverse trails for all types of rigs and 600 acres to explore. The club provided trail guides for Mild, Moderate or Hard groups. But, if guided groups aren’t your thing,
You’re running late. You go to turn your ignition, and click, click, click. Or worse, nothing at all. That is the sound, or lack thereof, of a dead battery. Leaving your headlights, stereo or interior lights on are the biggest culprits to drain your vehicle’s battery. This never happens at a convenient time. You need to fix

We met at the commuter lot at Interstate 44 at Bowles to Jeep-a-Van to Santa’s Magical Kingdom. Midwest Jeepthing members proudly decorated and displayed their Jeeps. Even though the evening was full of long lines and burnt clutches. We had fun.
