what did you do to your MJ today?

I needed to make a work trip up to VT, 8 hr drive each way from Erie, PA.  Instead of grabbing a rental car I decided to drive the MJ.  It has been a delightful trip, particularly this time of year driving through the Adirondack mountains of upstate NY.  

 

The MJ has handled the trip well, I did lots of 70+ freeway driving and a few hours of hucking it around the sweeping turns of the mountain state routes.  I bet I surprised more than one person keeping up with them in far more modern vehicles.  

 

Lots of thumbs up from others on the highway and the folks at the customer I visited loved the truck too.  Rolled over 282k miles.  Even achieved fuel economy over entire tanks of 19.9, 21.4 and 22.4 mpg, of which I consider very good with the way I've driven.

Used it to take my dogs for boarding. Had to take a pic cause of the awesomeness.

All three of my trucks have XJ bucket seat covers and don’t have the carpet piece on the back so I added it to the ‘88. It’s carpet from old door panels.

Good idea. Seats look as they should.

Woah, I really need to get some new injectors. I think the best I've seen is 17-18 mpg.
That and install my tonneau cover, add rear wheel skirts, and maybe I should just take the plunge and get one of these and custom print an entire lower body splash guard / air diverter.
Then I should hopefully get into the 20s lol

Took the wife for a birthday dinner last night. (sorry no pics). Hoping to get it to the squirrel woods for a little tree rat shoot this afternoon.  Trying to enjoy it before the salt trucks make me put it away.
