What did you do to your TJ today?

I need some help, anyone have any advice on stopping the really annoying whistling noise caused from the light bar?? Anything will help!

Try to position it downward! I had the whistle on mine changed the angle of it and the whistle went away. I’m sure that’s what’s going on with yours.
 
Just finished with my front tube fenders

Well, not today, but Saturday I had new tires installed and the front end components checked and an alignment. The previous Saturday I had the tires rotated, which resulted in the "Death Wobble" at speeds above 42-44mph. Prior to the tire rotation I would experience wobble randomly, but after, It was constant. The tires seem to have solved the problem for now. I do have to replace the right outer tie rod soon. It is beginning to show signs of wear. BTW, Mastercraft MXT 32x12.50x15, manufactured by Cooper Tires.
 
I came home to doors for the Jeeps home! One step closer to almost finished. Dave is now finding things that need to be fixed by the builders. Right now we need it to warm up so we can seal the cement floor and stain the plywood. Then once the ground thaws, electricity gets run and we are in business!

Curious as to why the center door is just slightly smaller than the outer doors? Surely there is a method to the madness. Care to share? Looks fantastic, by the way! I could live in a travel trailer, as long as I had a place like that to escape to! :)

Trust when I say there was a method to all of the decision madness. If I had it my way, all the doors would have been uniform in size. Dave wanted two doors the width he choose, and made the other a bit smaller to save on cost, wall space, no really great reasons which I’m sure @Dave K. will elaborate on. I’m just glad the windows match because I thought the smaller door was made by a different manufacturer. So when the windows matched, I was relieved.
I know the building is so huge! And we joke all the time we will be moving into the workshop. Well Dave jokes he’s moving in there, and I get the house. I’m super pumped there is more space to move his “stuff” from the basement and current garage. We have lots of STUFF, and no place to store it. Even if we come to our senses and downsize and get rid of the stuff, we can always use the space for other purposes. Again, for the TJ commune we will be starting :D:borra2::baloon:
Oh, and we even have that travel trailer here if you and your wife want to come :)

LOL Woo-hoo!!! A TJ commune! That cracks me up. :D I tell my wife that my housing needs are quite simple: a one bedroom house, and a four-car garage would be fine with me. I don't need much. ;)

That’s exactly how we feel. The pets will have the house to themselves, and we will be out in the garage :)

I love love love your Jeep. And, ummm, I love your Jeep! I want to buy another TJ, just to have one in red...love your front bumper too. And the wheels...well I love them so much I have the same ones (as you know). But I was not copying you I promise. The first Jeep I went to look at when looking to buy had those wheels and I fell in love. Then saw yours and that was that.
Anyway, as for your longer runs with the top down. Get a spiderwebshade or similar, keep the doors on and put the windows up. Its really not a bad ride at all at interstate speeds like that.
I too have a love/hate relationship with the soft top. I love that I have it for when I want/need to drive the Jeep in the cold or rain. But hate that when I take it down that I really cannot store the windows/back panel in the Jeep and have any cargo space or risk it being stolen. I'm too anal about the Jeep to drive it in the rain with the soft top up but the windows and back out for fear the interior in the back will get soaked and mildew.
BUT, it beats a hard top for versatility especially when you are not in a cold climate.
You should get a Flame Red TJ. I honestly think this Red is the best Red there is. My FIL has a Red Corvette and it looks pale next to my TJ. There are other good colors, like impact orange, yellow an patriot blue, but Flame Red is very distinctive when paired with the right wheels. So thanks.

I have a Spidershade. Wife says 3 hr drive at 70mph+ is too much. J

Soft top started disintegrating upon travel. Zipper pulls, et al, falling apart. So, I might chunk it. LOL. Made 22 miles down N Padre Beach. There was no one for miles and shells galore.

I had them all the same size but the center wall wouldn’t work out where I wanted it. Thank you.
