There comes a time in everyone's life when they are told to take a lot of zucchini. If it's happened to you in the past, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Hobby gardeners are somehow always surprised at the vast quantity of zucchini that one plant can produce, and cannot consume it all themselves. So they force it on everyone around them.

Some part of me can certainly empathize. Hobby-wise, I've gotten in over my head many times before. And we can all understand the basic human urge to push it, to see how much more we can make this year versus the last, to really show those other freaks in the garden club just who is best at producing large green tubes mostly filled with water.

Unfortunately, while I do enjoy the occasional recreational squash, I can't eat all the zucchini my neighbours offer me. Politely declining is right out, because then they start leaving it on my porch, or throwing it through my open kitchen window when they think I'm not looking. I'm afraid to find out what happens if I start pushing back on these vegetable-based intrusions on my personal space. So I try to make use of what I can, without seeming like the kind of person who could always use more.

This year, I came up with a great idea. Vegetable biodiesel. In case you're unfamiliar, you can squeeze the shit out of vegetables until they turn into oil. Then you chase that oil with some actual diesel fuel, and suddenly you have something that can run an internal combustion engine. Sounds great, right?

If you're the kind of person who reads a lot of books, you may suddenly detect a problem in my reasoning. Zucchini does not carry the reputation of an especially oily vegetable. And this is where the true genius comes in. What zucchini is, is heavy. All that water. If you're quick, you can swap out a bunch of vegetable oil on the grocery store loading dock with the equivalent weight of zucchinis.

Big Grocery won't notice until someone gets around to opening the box, and by then you'll be miles away, puffing your happily garden-sourced, renewable biodiesel in a Princess Auto toy jeep. Thanks, Ms. Maple. The best part is that, even if they figure out where it came from, the cops will never question her, because they know they'll be leaving with several hundred pounds of zucchini just for showing up at her house.

I love your writings! Can I request the COD boys with a s/o who is covered in tattoos from the top of their neck to their ankles. Preferably where they usually where clothes that cover them fully, then for whatever reason they are wearing something like a tank top and shorts and they see their tattoos for the first time <3 thanks

I don’t see a lot of fics where the person is heavily tattooed, if any tattoos at all

My OC in Don’t fear the Reaper is heavily tattooed 😏 I’m poor so can’t afford any more tattoos at the moment, so im living vicariously through her. If you wanted Rudy and Alejandro let me know and I can add them in! Female reader!

Price

You and Price had been seeing each other secretly for a few months, ever the gentleman he kept the pace slow. Allowing yourselves to get to know each other before any hanky panky.

You usually wore a long sleeved layer with long trousers and your boots around base. Never really showing any skin, which Price didn’t mind, it was essentially a tease. Leaving your body and skin to his imagination.

That was until one night when you were in the gym, you couldn’t sleep so decided to release some endorphins instead. You were on the resistance bike, sweat dripped from your brow onto the floor. Music was blasting from your headphones, you were in your own world.

Price had just finished his paperwork which had kept him up past midnight. As he trudged to his room he walked past the gym and noticed the light on. As he peered around the door he saw you figure on the bike.

He couldn’t quite believe his eyes. There you were, sat in all your sweaty glory. You wore shorts and a sports bra revealing a multitude of tattoos all over your body. From your neck to your ankles. An array of art decorated every part of skin he could see. Black and grey, colour, black out ink, all of it. He wanted to trace his fingers all over your body to feel how the ink felt on your skin, to feel the art beneath his finger tips.

Feeling someone watching you, you spun around to see your Captain staring at you. Your gaze softened and beckoned him to come to you.

Soap 🧼

It was a rare sunny day outside so you decided to swap your usual long sleeved attire to a tank top. The jeeps needed attending to so you decided to take advantage of the hot weather.

You were elbow deep in an engine trying to find out why the engine light kept coming on, when you heard a whistle behind you. Turning round to give one of the troops a piece of your mind your eyes met Johnny stood open mouthed. ‘Yes?’ You asked somewhat confused.

‘Just never seen your tats before, steamin Jesus … they’re incredible.’ He stood and took in your neo traditional tattoos, a mixture of Japanese and Art deco ink littered over your skin. ‘They’re just tattoos Johnny. Christ’ you laughed.

‘Yeah but I ain’t ever seen you this … uncovered. Fuckin incredible.’ You felt a blush creep up on your skin as you rubbed your arms.

Johnny came over and started to map out each of your tattoos, telling you which ones were his favourites. You pointed out which one was your first and which one was your most recent. Which one had a story, which one didn’t, he took in every word as he stroked your skin.

Ghost 💀

You were in the changing rooms after a sparring session and you were getting ready to get in the shower. As you pulled your top of you suddenly felt a set of eyes bore into you. Looking up you saw Ghost, his eyes raked up and down your body. ‘Fuckin hell love, didn’t realise you had tatts.’

You smirked showing off your body, ‘what these?’ You winked at him. Your body was covered in a mixture of realistic and black work geometric tattoos. Looking at his half forearm sleeve you smirked ‘puts yours to shame don’t it.’ He let out a breathy chuckle ‘cheeky minx.’

You spun around so he could have a look at the tattoos on your back, realistic skulls, flowers, portraits all adorned you. He pulled you in close, ‘I suggest you get in the shower, get cleaned up and come to my room. I wanna take a closer look at some of these’ he winked.

Gaz 🇬🇧

You were sat in the canteen with Gaz one morning when a load of new recruits came barging in. As they pushed their way past your table one spilt their drink all over you. ‘Fuck sake!’ You yelled throwing your hands in the air. Gaz grabbed some napkins for you as you removed your top, luckily it hadn’t gone through to your vest.

As Gaz turned to give you the napkins he was met with your tattooed body. He felt his breath hitch in his throat, he didn’t think he could fancy you anymore than he did. ‘Where you been hiding them?!’ He gestured to your body ‘we’ve been seeing each other a month and you kept these beauties to yourself!’

Giggling you took the napkins from him ‘you never asked!’ You were covered in traditional old school tattoos, a death moth covered your chest which was surrounded by roses and hearts. He couldn’t take his eyes off his new found treasure in front of him.

2. Trackhawk Mods & Customization

Customizing a Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is a popular way to enhance its performance, aesthetics, and overall driving experience. Given that the Trackhawk is already a high-performance vehicle with its 707-hp supercharged V8 engine, enthusiasts often focus on modifications that accentuate its power, sound, handling, and visual appeal. Here are some common and popular modifications for the Trackhawk:

1. Performance Tuning and Engine Modifications

Supercharger Upgrades

Bigger Superchargers: Many owners of the Trackhawk opt to upgrade the stock supercharger to increase horsepower beyond the 707 hp that comes standard. Companies like Whipple Superchargers or Kenne Bell offer upgraded superchargers that can push the power to over 1,000 hp with the right supporting mods.

Aftermarket Supercharger Pulley: A simple yet effective way to increase the boost pressure from the supercharger is by swapping out the pulley for a larger one. This allows more air into the engine, resulting in more power.

Cold Air Intake Systems

Upgrading to a high-flow cold air intake (such as ones from K&N or AFe Power) can help the Trackhawk breathe better and improve performance by increasing airflow into the engine. This modification usually results in better throttle response and an increase in horsepower.

Performance Tuning/ECU Remapping

ECU Tuning/Chip Tuning can unleash more power by optimizing the engine's fuel, air, and timing maps. Tuning companies like DiabloSport, HP Tuners, and JMS Performance offer custom tuning that can provide better performance, increased throttle response, and more aggressive driving modes.

Upgraded Intercoolers

With all that extra boost, a larger, more efficient intercooler helps to keep intake temperatures down, which is essential for maintaining high-performance levels and preventing engine knock or heat-related issues during aggressive driving.

What Are Common Problems With Older Jeeps?

For off-road aficionados, the very mention of a Jeep conjures up images of adventure, durability, and the rugged spirit of exploration. There's a charm to the classic models, a timeless appeal that sparks the imaginations of those who long for the open trail. But every rose has its thorn, and every classic Jeep — no matter how beloved — carries the weight of its years in the form of potential problems that can test even the hardiest enthusiast.

In this comprehensive exploration, we’re going to gear up and strap in to address the common issues that crop up with older Jeeps. Whether you’re knee-deep in mud pits, scaling rocky inclines, or just cruising down memory lane in your vintage ride, a brush-up on these obstacles can save you a heap of trouble down the line.

Common Issues with Older Jeep Engines

Older Jeep models feature a range of engines, from the inline-six 'Iron Duke' to the iconic AMC V8, but irrespective of make, time takes its toll. Common problems with older Jeep engines range from overheating issues, often the result of a failing water pump or an inefficient cooling system, to oil leaks that can put a damper on your off-roading or even present a fire hazard. Additionally, with age comes a decrease in power and efficiency, which might prompt an enthusiast to consider engine overhaul or replacement with a modern powerplant.

Overheating Woes

Off-road conditions can put an additional strain on the engine, especially during prolonged low-speed crawling. To combat overheating, it’s crucial to regularly inspect and maintain your cooling system. Upgrading to a larger radiator and installing an electric fan to supplement airflow when traversing tight trails can be life-saving modifications.

Weary Pistons and Leaks

Oil leaks in older engines are often due to deteriorating gaskets and seals, which can lead to a slow but certain loss of the precious lubricant vital to the engine's health. A systematic approach to identifying and addressing these leaks, including the inspection of gaskets and seals during routine oil changes, is key to maintaining performance.

Power of Modernization

For some Jeep purists, there's a certain satisfaction in keeping the original engine alive. However, for those looking for a blend of vintage appeal and modern reliability, engine swaps with newer, more powerful powerplants — such as the ubiquitous Chevy LS series — are increasingly popular and can provide a drastic improvement in performance and fuel efficiency.

What Are The Latest Jeep Technologies?

Suspension and Drivetrain Challenges

Every bump, jump, and dip on the trail is absorbed by your Jeep's suspension, and coupled with the demands of aggressive off-roading, it’s no wonder that worn-out shocks, sagging springs, and drivetrain vibrations are par for the course for older models.

Shock Absorption — Or Lack Thereof

Older model Jeeps may develop a 'bouncy' ride feel or exhibit increased body roll due to worn-out or damaged shocks and suspension components. Regular inspection for leaks, cracks, and visible damage, along with scheduled replacements, can keep your ride smooth and your control tight.

The Vibration Equation

Drivetrain vibrations, often caused by misaligned components or unbalanced driveshafts, can lead to a litany of issues, including increased wear on key components and a less-than-enjoyable driving experience. These problems are easy to dismiss but can cause serious damage over time and should be addressed promptly.

Bumps on the Maintenance Path

Off-roading can accelerate wear, with drivetrain parts often requiring more frequent attention than normal. Regular maintenance, such as lubrication of the driveline and tight checks of U-joints and CVs, is essential to a Jeep's longevity and to ensure no surprises on your next outing.

Electrical System and Wiring Problems

While the heart of your Jeep may reside in the engine bay, its nervous system is no less vital. Electrical issues in older Jeeps can be confounding, with symptoms ranging from flickering lights to complete system failures.

A Dim Situation

Dim or fluctuating lights are a common issue with older Jeeps, often attributed to corroded connections, ground issues, or failing alternators. Regular inspection of connections, grounds, and the electrical system overall can prevent these issues from leaving you out in the dark.

Current Affairs

Old wiring harnesses face the dual threat of deterioration over time and potential damage from the elements and off-road hazards. When modernizing or restoring a classic Jeep, many enthusiasts opt for a complete or partial rewire, especially if the vehicle history is unknown or if signs of wire degradation are present.

Battling With Gremlins

Intermittent electrical problems, the bane of any mechanic's existence, can be particularly challenging to diagnose and fix. A methodical approach that includes circuit testing, visual inspections, and the elimination of potential sources of interference is often the best path forward.

Rust and Body Integrity

The mere utterance of 'rust' can send shivers down the spine of any vehicle owner, and with good reason. Rust is not just a cosmetic issue; it can erode the structural integrity of your Jeep, especially in older models with less advanced corrosion protection measures.

Corrosive Concerns

Rust in older Jeeps often starts in areas that trap moisture and debris, such as the wheel wells, undercarriage, and battery tray. Regular cleaning, application of rust inhibitors, and additional drain holes or protective barriers can help stave off the inevitable effects of corrosion.

Structural Strength

The integrity of a vehicle's body is key to its safety and, indeed, its ability to keep on rolling. Modern fabrication techniques and materials have vastly improved the resistance to bending and breaking, but older Jeeps may need reinforcement in high-stress areas, particularly if used for heavy off-road duties.

Cosmetic but Critical

While it's easy to dismiss cosmetic rust as an inevitability of older vehicles, addressing it early can prevent its spread to vital components and ensure that your Jeep retains its aesthetic charm, which is part of what makes these classics so appealing.

Upgrades and Maintenance Solutions

Thankfully, owning a classic Jeep doesn’t have to be a battle against a tide of malfunctions and misbehaviors. There are numerous upgrades and maintenance solutions that can not only address these issues but also enhance the performance and longevity of your treasured ride.

Performance-Boosting Mods

From simple bolt-on parts like cold air intakes and aftermarket exhaust systems to more involved projects such as engine transplants and suspension lifts, the world of Jeep upgrades is vast and varied. Just remember that with great power comes great responsibility — be sure to upgrade other components to handle the increased performance.

Maintenance Musts

Regular servicing and proactive maintenance are perhaps the most crucial elements of owning a classic off-roader. Unlike a daily driver, the frequency and thoroughness of service should be aligned with the rigors of your off-road adventures. Keeping detailed records can also help you anticipate when components might need replacement, preventing unexpected failures.

The Ever-Changing Aftermarket

The aftermarket world for older Jeeps is rich with options for everything from cosmetic enhancements to serious off-road gear. Engaging with the community, attending trade shows, and staying abreast of the latest developments can provide invaluable insight into how to keep your Jeep relevant and ready for whatever comes its way.

Conclusion: Journeying Onward With Preparedness

The path to an off-road adventure with a classic Jeep may be fraught with potential pitfalls, but with knowledge, preparation, and the right mindset, these iconic vehicles can offer countless hours of enjoyment. Addressing common problems with older Jeeps requires a blend of technical know-how, a love for the mechanical, and an unwavering pioneer spirit.

If you're an owner or an aspiring custodian of one of these storied machines, remember that every repair, upgrade, and preventative action is not just an investment in your vehicle, but also serves to uphold the legacy of the Jeep and its enduring place in the annals of automotive adventure.

By understanding the common challenges and staying ahead of potential issues, you're not just ensuring the reliability of your Jeep; you're also uniting your own story with that of an American icon — forged in the crucible of war, hardened by the demands of nature, and now, carried forward by your passion and dedication.

As you take to the trails in your trusty steed, may your journeys be as smooth as your freshly-tuned suspension allows, and may the only sparks you see be from your campfire at the end of a day well-speckled with off-road tales and treasured Jeep memories.
