I’ve neglected “Sara” (my jeep for those that don’t know) for awhile now and it’s time to show her some love. I ordered an oil pan skid plate and since shipping was free, I went ahead and ordered a steering box skid plate as well. When hitting the trail, you can’t have too much armor.

I’ve been wanting to go to 35″ tires for awhile now for the additional clearance, but needed to upgrade some parts to handle the larger tires first. This included the chromoly shafts that I put in my front axle last month, and I also need to modify my fenders to make room for the tires during articulation. I can accomplish this via “flat” fenders, which opens up the wheel wells. I lucked up and found the fenders I’ve been eyeballing for a great price (used) and hope to get them installed on Saturday.

I just had a thought, I should start calling my Jeep the Bionic woman, since all I do is spend money to upgrade her. Oh well, she’s going under the knife this week, but she’ll come out much stronger and maybe even a tad bit prettier.

I saw a great quote on Facebook tonight and I felt it was TOO good to let it drift away on the tides of anonymity:

“‘Political Correctness’ is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”

I owe my daughter an apology. I have often chided her for her huge collection of shoes, when I myself have quite a collection and just grew it by another pair today. I can’t help it, I like a good looking boot. I was looking for some new work shoes/boots and found a nice pair of Florsheims, but I was lured away by a pair for everyday casual wear. I like boots and I like jackets. I have a growing collection of hats too, now that I think about it.

My advice is to stay away from Zappos. They make it too easy to find stuff you like. But can you blame me?  Look at these boots!
