Modify my 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee

It will remain stone stock and run as long as it can.
Colorado winter can be tough.
Have at it…

the vehicle with paint only.
There is a Jeep Wrangler available to go tough off road with.
This truck needs to last as long as possible in the city…

lead has gone way up in price.
The main component of a battery is lead plates.
My last battery was around $75 6 years ago
6 year guarantee batteries now seem to be about $110.

Please pass the Top Ramen noodles and Pork and Beans…;)

I will fake some progress on this goal
The battery is 5 or 6 years old
Winter is coming
That is about the maximum life expectancy of a truck battery
There will be a new one put in very soon.

shops today and talked to them about options and prices…Plus I go and observe how I’m talked to and valued…price isn’t everything at all…only a portion…

The second shop will get my business for sure…they gave me detailed information and brochures, unhurried face to face time, written estimates and assurances that price wouldn’t change…all that and the fact that they have been in business for 28 years doing just the sort of 4 wheel drive work I’m looking for…

The total cost?...ouch
But it will be worth it…

but it isn’t going anywhere away from me…It’s not cheap to drive with gas the way it is…but it’s the best, most dependable and reliable vehicle I’ve ever owned…

Before next summer I will make it an off road and winter machine…

Something like this…
