petefj40 buys a 97 Jeep

I traded in the 89 Mitzi for a 97 Jeep.
Cost me 6k.

Just drove it from Nelson to Chch. 12L per 100ks. Stoked.
Brought it to stay up in Nelson to run around in as well as help put the boat in and out of the water.

:mrgreen:

Ahhhh!!! A real question!

Well. If I could disengage the front wheels and lock up the back? I'd be a starter for sure!! :mrgreen:

Coz there's one rule on bros skid pad.
"NO DIESEL"
:wink:

So far (as Turoa pointed out). I've had a small hickup with the front right CV. But apart from that, things seem to be fine. The motor oil before I had the it and filter changed looked blacker than black. The air filter looked like it was the original one.
There's a leak in the power steering hoses some where. But hey, for 6k, what do you expect?

Mate. I was fixing the FJ40 more than any other vehicle I'd ever owned!
So change the record. :lol:
