Yearly Mantainence

[Zullock Holmes]

I'm gettin ready to do mine and was just wondering what everyone else does as their end of the season upkeep on their jeeps.

I:
replace the TRE's in my steering
change the oil
Drain and flush the radiator
pull the battery for the winter
flush and re-bleed the brakes (depending on the color of the fluid)
drain and refill the transfer case
grease all my joints
hahaha normally i replace my driveshaft u joints, but considering i feel like i do that at least every other trip, it gets left out this year.

Just curious as to what everyone else does, obviously its gonna be different if you daily drive though.

Check all the fluids/top them off.
Lower the psi in the tires a bit
Heavy coat of wax on the rims/body
Fresh undercoat for the winter
Torque everything down again
Give the jeep a good cleaning inside
Check all the joints

i just drive it like i do every other day.....

i just wait till stuff breaks, bitch that i should have taken better care of it then upgrade what ever broke so that my next failure piss's me off for being that much more exspensive and i shoulda taken better care of it.

[Buffalo Phil]

I hope and pray mine doesnt break every year.

Knowing you are going to overheat at least once on the way to and fro rausch is no movtivation. OH THE HUMANITY!

Touche. Is it hard to do??? i have no Idea what is involved. WE should have a work party to get that fixed.

[CumminsJeep]

mines a daily driver sooo this is normal routine maintenance.

I just did:

TREs
Radiator/ coolant flush
oil change
tire rotation
diff fluids a month or 2 ago
still gotta do trans fluid
grease everything as often as i have access to a grease gun
flush the t case
bled the brakes again
rear DS u joint
still gotta do the front DS u joint.

and i dunno what else

usually the fluids get done once a year unless diffs have to be opened up or any other problems force me too

[Bigbike]

I have to
Fix my front pinion bearings(maybe this week)
SYE
Tune up/oil change(prolly tomorrow in school)
Rebuild and instal new trac bar
Do something about rear bumps,
maybe new springs.

I now need a new exhaust, the Wrenching Zone ate mine from the cat back.

But as to yearly maintenance:

I usually drain/replace/redrain the oil once a year to clean it out. I mix oil and Marvel half-and-half for this.

clean the plugs and all the ignition contacts, then regrease them with dielectric stuff.

Zerk fittings.

Check/replace ujoints and bearings.
