Title: Jeep weather
Post by: oldjeep on April 28, 2007, 03:35:54 PM
Been street driving the jeep a lot lately, nothing better than an open jeep in 80 degree weather.    Going to be hard to convince myself to take it back apart to swap the gears ;)   The 4.10's work OK with the 35" tires, but you really have to hit the sweet spots to get it up into 4th gear on the AW4 - and forget about locking the convertor.  I think it would have to be going 80 to lock it in 4th right now ;)

It's also boating weather!  However, it's not quite skiing weather yet.  Went out on Lake Minnetonka today, though I was going to die when I hopped off the boat.

We try to ski at least once in April and once in October.  Actually made it to Nov one year.  My wetsuit was supposed to be here Friday but got delayed until Monday, which made it that much colder ;)
