Winter Wheeling



Many people go wheeling during the winter.

If there is snow people want up  in the mountains.

I often go wheeling in the snow for a day trip with my family and friends.

We go up near Lake Pillsberry and have fun going on dirt roads covered with snow.

Sometimes the snow isn't compressed so it is easy to get stuck even in a lifted vehical.

It has not been snowing much for the previous few years so we don't go as often as we use to.

It is one of my family traditions that we do every year there is snow.

There is a lot of snow this year so we might be able to go and take my jeep

.



 

 

Wheeling in the snow can be dificult because it is loose.

It is easy to get lost because the snow hids the trail too.

You could also hit a rock you didn't see because of the snow,

 and your tires are always wet so they slip.

 

 

 

Have fun and do something you love to do over the holidays.

Try something knew and make new traditions.



How to Replace a Broken Axle

Begin by loosening the lug nuts but don't take them off. You would do this so it is easier to take the lug nuts off when the tire is in the air because if you don't the tire spins.

You would then use a jack to lift your vehicle up so you can remove the tire.

Remove the loosened lug nuts and then remove the tire.















Then take the two bolts holding the brake caliper off but don't remove the brake line. You would then remove the disk brake.

After that you would remove the carter key and then the large hub nut. After the large nut is out you would remove the three bolts on the inside of the outer C that hold the hub freeing it so it can be removed.

You would pull the broken axle out of the housing and replace it with your unbroken replacement.

Lastly reassemble it and you can continue your trail.

I got a Jeep

"A major difference in the 1986-1995 [YJ Jeep Wrangler] models were the rectangular headlights, which reverted to rounded ones in the TJ and then JK versions." (Wikipedia-Jeep wrangler) The previous Jeep Wranglers, CJ models, have round headlights as well as newer models. The YJ Jeeps are unique in a lot of ways, but the easiest way to tell the difference is the headlights. I have just purchased a 1995 Jeep Wrangler and am going to upgrade it. My blog is about the experiences that will happen.

I got the Jeep on September first two thousand and fourteen. Two days earlier  I was out at my grandpa's ranch sitting at the table. My dad was looking through the newspaper and told me there was a Jeep for sale in Petaluma. I assumed it would be expensive like most jeeps but he said they were only asking for 3400 dollars! My dad ripped out the information and that Monday, the first, I called them and asked if the jeep was still for sale. It was so my dad drove me there and after test driving it I bought it.

I was so excited to own my first car. The Jeep was in decent shape, only a few minor dents and a few spots where the paint was chipping. It is blue and a small 4.0 liter engine which won't let me drive very fast. I am only fourteen so I have a long time to go before I can drive, but the jeep is being built now. I am not waiting and I am not going to rush to finish the Jeep.
