Did oil and filter service, all fluids checked and full lubrication. Rotated and balanced tires. Got about 5000 km on the Duratracs-wearing nice and even. Installed 3" DYNOMAX ULTRA FLOW muffler. Trailbait has a rumble now. Sounds awesome. BRRRRMMM

I bout 40ft from Army Navy. I made some things for my brother in law with paracord that he bought at Micheals. They have more colors but the price is higher.

For what it's worth on this topic, Canadian Tire in the Crossing sells it as well. My son was making the survivalist bracelets for a school project.

They had 3 colors, if I recall, brown, orange and I think a dark green. My son said the price ($7.99 for 50' I think) was good.

Army Navy has about 15 colors I would guess. Most are at 100 ft lengths for $10. I would say Micheal's has 30 or so colors. They come in 16ft ($3.45 or so) and 100ft (about $16). They also have the survival clips for the survival bracelets and they have the break away clips for the lanyards. They also have glow in the dark paracoard at Micheal's. It isn't cheap.
I would like to find a good online retailer for a better selection of colors. I also like to buy the longer lengths so I have some left for other projects letter. I try to buy 100ft but at some point I would like to get a large roll (250+) of black. I use a lot of black.

Well I no longer have the most lifted 2 wheel drive jeep in the province. lol
Replaced the complete front end today other than the housing, staying with the 4.88 gears All new calipers, rotors, and pads up front New exhaust over the past month. Flipped some tires around. Seems one of them needed 20oz to make it happy. New wipers this past week. Rear defrost wire was re attached and holding up well. New cooolent. Also a big thank you to the folks out at APJ's and Andre for getting er' done.
Think that's it for this month. Cheers everyone. Shaun

I've been picking away at the front axle and rebuilding an 8274 lately. Pulled my Lockright and sold it. Getting set (hopefully tomorrow) to install a spool and chromo axles in the front. Pulled my PSC steering gear to sell it to raise funds for full hydro (gonna throw the stock box back on tonight to get ready for topless run). Paint goes on the 8274 case tonight.

Replaced front differential output seal and fresh fluid. Also, isolated some never ending dash rattles and put the "QUIET FIX" to them. Two way tape works wonders.
