To do's for winter:
-Check condition of battery and water cell levels, replace with new if necessary
-Make sure glow plugs, fuel system is in order
-Spray undercarriage, rockers, and inside doors with Bar and Chain oil for anti-rust
-Replace rear shocks with Bilstein HD's
Already done:
-Carry around tons of tools, hydraulic bottle jack (for traction and helpfulness!)
-Breaker Bar/Sockets/Torque Wrench for wheels (has proven useful)
-Jumper cables for other motorists
-Aired up spare tire
-extra antifreeze and distilled water
This time I'll be ready, salt.
