Well, of course, I started having some issues with the Jeep. We already knew it needed a new muffler & tailpipe. My last post I changed the spark plugs. It was definitely running better after that and the fuel cleaner. I took it to Meineke today to get the muffler/tailpipe/donut gasket done. Went to lunch, then went back over there to check on it and they showed me the large crack in my exhaust manifold!!! That turned a $200 problem into a $600 problem. Good thing is, that should be it with engine repair for awhile at least. We can get to work on the body and accessories. I am glad that they noticed the crack. I'm sure most mechanics would overlook something like that and then worse things would happen later.
I am also ordering the new top tonight! It's a Bestop soft top and JCWhitney is having 20% off through today. Jen and I are moving in July. We are trying to cut our expenses down and by moving we will be saving about $500 a month easily. We are trying to set ourselves a goal of 1 year so lookout Montello!

One year! That is awsome. You will beat us there. We will be part time till 2014. But if jt had his way he would be full time now.
