Well I have had Rocky for a year now. June 2024 - June 2025. No real issues to speak of.
Today is Shop Day.
Four Tire Rotation, Check the Differentials, Transfer Case, and Transmission. Grease it, and look at all Fluid Levels. Check the Air Pressure in all Five Tires, etc.
I just changed the Oil & Filter last week. First Oil Change (Break In) was at 300 Miles. This one was at a little over 3,000 miles. The oil looked very good. My plan is to change the Oil and Filter every 3K from now on.
I have a couple more things to do perfection Rocky. I still need a Heater, and Doors. Also a Light Bar or some other Forward Lighting for night driving. Then we have the Twin Stick Conversion.
So far I am still happy with my purchase. I have no idea how much I have invested in the Fortress Windshield, Fortress Roof, Cecco Rear Farm Bumper, Front 42" Stubby Bumper, Hard Cab Rear Bulk Head, 235/85R16 M&S Tires, 12K Winch, Winch Plate, Wiring, Lights, Bow Shackles, Tow Hooks, Knobs for the Under Seat Storage Box's. Then we have Tow Straps, and Soft Shackles, and Tree Straps, and Pulleys, Synthetic Winch Line. I am sure that I am missing other upgrades. It has taken a while, but I have pretty much transformed Rocky into a very useful vehicle.
EDIT Additions to Rocky: Turn Signals with Front Side Markers, OEM Side Steps, Side Mirrors, Rear View Mirror, Hi-Lift Jack Hood Mount, Rocker Switch's for Wiper, Rear 6 LED Light, and Interior LED Lighting (2 Rock Lights). Rear 12V Outlet for power for Seeder and Sprayer. Power Distribution Box under dash. Roll Bar Mounted Sun Visors. Gun Rack mounted to rear bulkhead. Heavy Rubber Mat for Bed. Vintage 1971 Hi-Lift Jack rebuilt and painted OD to match Rocky. Rear Tire Carrier, and a Spare matching the tires on the ground. I should be close to everything this round.
Well I better close and head to the shop. After we check out Rocky, my Wrangler will go in for a look at the Front Brakes "Round Three". Calipers are not releasing all the time. I am hoping we can figure this out this round.
