Service Intervals
Here are some prices from a five star Jeep stealership in my area. Diff fluid change: $80 per differential, oil change: $40, air filter change: $30, transfer case fluid change: $140, tire rotation: $20, alignment: $40. Then they charge even more to "check your brakes" without actually fixing them. By the time you get all of this done to your Jeep at a stealership, by the end of the year, you've paid them a small fortune just to keep your Jeep filled with clean fluids. You can save all of this money, and you can feel proud of yourself by doing all of this service yourself. Domain: http://jeep.us41.org Rating: (0/5)

Trail Riding in Mud & Snow
Slippery conditions can turn a normally easy trail into one that is nearly impassable. Snow is an obvious cause, but on certain soil types a rain storm can turn the surface of the soil into something resembling wheel bearing grease.
