    What did you do to your TJ today?

    What resource did you use for trails in the Black Hills? I've always been partial to Fun Treks for CO and Moab, but they don't have one for SD. Are there any websites or other guides you recommend?

    Kelly Flats Memorial Day

    Looks like a good time! I was going to ask in how it went in the other thread. I was in Yellowstone Monday or may have joined you.

    Rear Cup Holders (97-02)

    A roll of duct tape seriously worked for me in my FJ60 Land Cruiser. It was an '83 and had no factory cupholders.

    12.5 inch tires on 7 inch rims

    If they're the specs you posted above, they're the wrong bolt pattern for a TJ.

    New to me ride

    Wow, my ‘05 Sport was $28,545. I could’ve had a Rubicon! 😅

    Thinking of going with a 2" OME lift

    Not necessarily, it varies from vehicle to vehicle. I installed OME 2.5" springs and shocks on my '02 without dropping the t-case or installing an SYE and it had no vibes.

    Colorado Big Wall RIP

    I only met him the one time on our Red Cone trip last year, but he seemed like a really nice guy. RIP Joe!

    Can a TJ VIN be used on TJ Unlimited build?

    I read as you were getting the LJ frame and body from separate donors. Does the source for the frame and body not have a title and dash with VIN for it? That seems like it would be the easiest route, as many others have suggested.

    Can a TJ VIN be used on TJ Unlimited build?

    I don't know. In the interior swap threads I've seen, it appeared to be on the dash and presented a dilemma when folks were swapping dashes for a different color.

    Can a TJ VIN be used on TJ Unlimited build?

    @myjeep3 - do I have this correct: Frame: LJ1 Tub: LJ2 Dash, interior, and drivetrain less engine: TJ1 Engine: GM (Truck1?) So you're combining 4 vehicles into 1 and want to use the VIN on the dash of the one that doesn't match either the frame or tub VINs?

    Road Noise: Hard Upper Half Doors vs Full Doors

    Thanks for following along! I'm pleased with the change I made. I don't regret having a hardtop one bit. I've made a few trips in it and it is so much more comfortable to ride in than the old TJ just due to the difference in sound. Correct, I was lucky to take my daughter to Ouray last Labor...

    To lift or not to lift?

    If you have to ask, the answer is no.
