So today the forecast has hit a chilling 72 degrees, which means it is time to prep the Jeep for winter.

After seeing many posts about people garaging their cars for 5 months, or buying some steelies, I thought I would show you all the things that need to be done.

I put this on this morning. A leather gear shifter.

The billeted aluminium shift knob was a bit too cool on my hand in the mornings, so I swapped knobs. Giggity.

I thought about fixing the heater as it hasn't worked in 3 years, but I really won't need it.

Oh god, that must've been tough. I bet you had to put on a long-sleeved shirt instead of short-sleeved one. How inconvenient.

Rather than have to deal with sleeves (urgh), I opted for a glass of red wine. Seemed to do the trick.

Simplify, then add beer was then killed by a drop bear and eaten by a crocodile as a dingo was chased by a giant spider.

Well at least you had the option. Weather is a real bitch, isn't it?

Drop Bears only eat tourists. I have however died 3 times from spider bites this year alone.

summer prep for aluminium shift knobs is a stubbie holder in the glove box.
