Let this thread be an inspiration to all of us doing mods, maintenance, or repairs. :thumbsup:

I'll start it off, over the holiday weekend, I did an oil and filter change, fixed a couple rattles, did the front brakes (new rotors and pads), and swapped the brake fluid.

Put mine to bed for the winter. :brickwall

Finished the clutch hydralic kit replacement; got it in the barn where it'll hibernate until March or April. Didn't have the time to change the oil or put jackstands under it; that happens in a few days.

Nope, it's a California rig. I got a front-drive winter-beater I can salt up all I want without fear...

Next spring: New radiator; the crimped ends are leaking too much to ignore much more. That'll be about the time the lame AX-5 dies on me... :mad:

Just got mine back.

First post, but been lurking for a while. My 2.5 gave up the ghost, put in a rebuilt 4.0 HO, new trany and transfer case, and drive shafts. Now I know what I have been missing!!! :D

Just wanted to say that all the people posting here are great. Lots of great info. :thumbsup:

Got mine back from the shop Tuesday and it's running great! Still needs a little work so it's going back in on the 26th for some by-pass surgery on the fuse box. The soundbar installation is complete and I have already started working on going deaf, the stereo sounds great.

Road noise? I don't hear any road noise! :cool:

Replaced rear output shaft seal. Got tired of smelling buring tranny fluid as it was thrown from the rear D/S onto the muffler. Also thought about the guy's Jeep that caught fire the other day and didn't want to tempt the fire gods.

In the middle of putting in DIY heated seat pads that I bought off of E-bay... pain in the A$$ to take off the leather :brickwall ... let's see how long this project will take...
Yeah, I gotta put a new foam seat cushion in my driver's side seat. It's pretty much shot as it feels like I'm leaning to the left when driving. I don't look forward to this job, but the seat covers and frames are in such good condition, I don't want to replace them.

Saturday projects

1) Got new windshield installed $181 with tax. I can see again!!!
2) Degreased engine with autostore crap, and then finally with simple green, $12.
3) Failed emissions because of exhaust leaks.
4) Got my exhaust welded up to fix the 3 foot section where I had 5 adapters and about 7 different clamps. So hopefully I pass emissions next time!

I finally finished wiring in the dome light on the sound bar. I just put a switch on the dash next to the switches for the off road lights. Working great.
