I've had to do some repairs to the explorer lately, and decided I need to keep a log of the work so I can look back later and know, for example, there's 40,000 miles on the new waterpump. So, I made this:

It's just a composition book with a printed cover.

Haha, hopefully not enough to fill that book up!
I did just have to replace the water pump, heater and radiator hoses, thermostat, water outlet tube, idler and tensioner pulley and the coolant. Hopefully that's it for a while, but on a good note it runs better than when I got it! Those new pulley's really make it run quieter.

You know.. you could also use it as a build diary.

I've been keeping a log on a spreadsheet but I think a log book like yours is best. I sometimes get lazy or forget to log stuff cause I don't have immediate access to my PC.

Came up with another use for it. I'm also writing down what parts I need to pull from the junkyard.
Is there any good pull-a-part type yards down there in the OKC area?

Shields just south of I-240 has a few Jeeps, it's where I got my rollbar.
It's been about 18 months since then though I think and I forget the exact name
There are a few other Pull-A-Part places, but don't go to 'Pull-A-Part' because they don't have any Jeeps.
South of Airport Rd betwen Meridian and Council as well but again not sure on if they have any Jeeps.
