4,000 Mile Report

I just went over 4K miles on my truck, this is since Nov. 1st. This may be common but I wish the drive to work was longer, I really enjoy that time to commune with my truck. I think it's sinking in that I own this truck and it's not just borrowed. I have no serious complaints (knock on wood!). Minor things to look at are the right side window and the door locks. The window goes down a little crooked, I read about that problem here. I think the track just needs adjusment. The locks probably just need some lube. As soon as I get the jeep out of the garage I can get this in to open the doors to adjust/lube things. I'll probably drill for zerks too, I'd like to thank whoever first posted that tip. I'm used to just replacing the tie rods/ball joints with greasable parts. Happy Ramming everyone!

P.S. Milage is improving already!
