    We have a similar program on the island . Gate access to very remote areas . All they want you to do is report suspicious activity or fires etc . Great program . Gives forestry and the logging companies extra set of eyes .

    Thermostat replacement

    Just replaced upper rad hose & thermostat housing yesterday . Very little fluid loss. When Jeep is cold not much up that high . Draining rad would be a waste . Open rad cap to release any pressure . Disconnect hose, unbolt thermostat housing . Replace in order . Good to go. If it was lower...

    Typical new owner questions about engine and transmission

    Jeep specs 5w20 for the 3.8 & 3.6. Although they also say can run 5W30 depending on your driving conductions etc. I run 5W20 Mobile 1 like @ Dirtydog . Their synthetic is top quality . Change it out every 5K. Putting a drain plug in trans pan is a good idea . You can get drain plugs and put...

    Halo lights

    Def read & blue would be no bueno across North America . Green or other colours would probably be ok depending on laws in that specific area as @Dirtydog mentioned . Wouldn’t try any other colour other than white in Canada .
