There was a lot more snow in late November of 2007, more than this year (none so far). i knew there was a bit of work to be done, but i didnt start because i was still on the 10 day permit and didnt want to waste time. needless to say the G-Wag went everywhere that I, or my family went in those 10 days (to the library, train station, church, etc). i spent the better part of a cold sunday afternoon poking about the interior of the jeep and doing a bit of light detailing, such as vacuuming, armour-alling, and power washing (the exterior). the old windsheild had been smashed out by neighborhood kids, so a brand new one was in it's place; no chips, scratches or cracks. also noted that the tires were so new they still had the coloured ink banding inside the tread, and most of those little knubby things. i figure a set of 4 new truck tires would run you $400 minimum, so it's like i bought 4 truck tires, and they threw in a truck with the deal.
astonishingly, most of the power-options worked, which was a bonus. the trouble came in the tailgate, which is Jeep's fault for using a stupid wiring method that bends every time it opens and closes. the power tailgate window worked, but the power switch,wiper, and defrost were all pooched. the rest of the power windows are rather lethargic, but they all operate (some lube might help that, possibly). the headliner was.. well, we'd better not discuss the headliner.
