I love this forum, been lurking for awhile. It's helped me out immensely so far. I got a 99XJ for under $1k last year. The poor thing waddled down the road while overheating when I first got it. Now it's a dedicated rural route mail jeep.
Which brings me to my question. I drive this jeep 6 or 7 hours a day, but only clock maybe 40 miles in that time so changing the oil by the millage obviously won't work in my situation.
I've seen meters on tractors before that produced an adjusted hours elapsed. Like hours at 1000 RPM. So if you ran your tractor at 2000 rpm for one hour, the meter actually clocked it as two hours.
I've been trying to find something like that for my XJ. But I'm not having any luck. Plenty of hour meters, and tach's out there. But that's not exactly what I'm looking for.
Any ideas or should the tach from my dad's kubota just mysteriously disappear some night? ;^)
Thanks,
Dean
