Default jeep log book

My new jeep should be here on the 8th. This will be my first jeep first new vehicle!

I was wondering if anyone knows where to get a good log book. I was hoping to find one with a jeep logo on it, but what do you use? I plan on keeping meticulous records on my first jeep/new vehicle.

I've kept logbooks for planes and boats, but not so much for cars. I have kept a Jeep folder with every receipt towards the Jeep plus another folder with instructions for all the after market toys I've put on. Later, any buyer that gets the Jeep knows it was cared for and can maintain it like I do.

Forgot to mention - there are car mpg and maintenance apps for smart phones. I have one for the iPhone that I use. You can download everything to a spreadsheet on your computer.

While driving at approx 35mph the JK slowed down to about 20mph, as if it was stalling out. All dash lights came on. Stearing got hard. JK is coasting, and came back online. lights on dash out. Normal driving now, however the battery light on the dash is still on. Battery light went out as well as headlight light on dash. The headlights are on. Stoped on side of road and shut down JK. After 1 minute, re-started. All normal now.
About 15 minutes later while driving on road at approx 40mph, again felt like JK stalling out. This time the ABS light came on and stearing got hard. A few bucks like running and stalling Jk slowed down to about 20mph for a second or two, the ABS light off and all is normal now. Did not have to re-start, and all normal now.
Perhaps this is in order:

Every time I go for a warranty issue, I print out a copy and take it with me to the dealership. I also keep a back-up on and external hard drive under JK History, so I don't loose it.

Seems a bit anal but probably a great idea when it comes to selling your jeep. I know I would be impressed and confident in what I was getting if I saw records like that. Lol.
