I see you also have the flaking clear coat on the roof. Have you tried to fix it some how? Buffing, compound?

Nope. It’s gotta be sanded down and repainted with fresh clear.

Yep, unfortunately when the clear starts to flake there’s no easy fix. It’s time to repaint.

Got another exam trip to mammoth next week. Driving on my own again. Gotta make sure the Nali is road trip ready. I was about 400 miles short of my oil change interval, and oil life monitor said I was at about 20%. But I had no desire to make a 600 mile round trip and go slightly over my interval. So I picked up oil today and took the free hour and a half I had in between work and my Thursday evening gym class and knocked it out. Ended up with an ACDelco filter this time around. Got my air filter cleaned up as well, and hopefully tomorrow afternoon, my clients shop can rotate my tires real quick for me. I meant to ask him today while I was there washing cars and totally forgot about it.

Took a few minutes to clean up the engine bay after I put everything back together and started up the engine. Cleans up well. He gets dusty under the hood so quickly.

Got a quick tire rotation in this afternoon after I finished up work. My buddy that is the head mechanic for the jeep shop was able to handle it for me thankfully. Owners of the shop are out of town and he was just finishing up his work day. He’s like yeah I’ll knock it out for you! I love when he does stuff for me cuz he’s so detail oriented and always does things right, he’s putting lug nuts back on and he’s like “hey look up in your owners manual what it says your lug nuts need to be properly torqued to cuz I can never remember” lol. I love that. Anyways that’s handled now before my road trip Monday.

And I had to grab a quick wheel off shot of my brakes. NNBS 13” diameter fronts with red calipers and drilled and slotted rotors:

Thanks, I never knew what it was. Don’t have an owners manual and too lazy to look for 1!
