Awesome price! Nice score. I like the wider Rubicon/Sahara flares.
What did you do to your TJ today?

Not sure if you're referring to the hood lift, the LED headlights, or the lights on the bumper. I like the hood lift, I have not seen one like that before.
Saw one just about an hour before he posted. Pretty sure it's the same one.

while driving some seasonal access roads the jeep developed a rattle. Continued on to a bar out in the country to have a beer. I left it running when I got out, and then knew for sure the rattle was under the hood. The power steering pulley had cracked. Decided to make the run for home, about 15 miles. The pulley busted 1.5 miles from home, so I made it without having to stop, the temp did climb a little past the top of the gauge, but well within safety.
Point is, I bought the pulley and borrowed Advance Auto pulley puller kit ($50 deposit). The kit was worn out. The puller worked fine, but pushing the new one on was frustrating. All the bolts in the kit were so worn, they popped lose with tension. I did get it withing 1/8 inch of where the pulley should be, and it appears that is close enough to keep the belt happy.
But once again, when using a tool they Lend, check every thing before you leave the store.
When I took it back, the guy behind the counter didn't seem interested that the bolts in the kit should be replace before some other fool got half way through the project.

May I follow up, 1) did the c.c. cleaner down the TB help; and 2) how did you DX the exhaust valve on cyl#5, did it throw an engine code?
Cleaned the IAC too. Idles better but still misses w/cold. There is a TSB from Chrysler on it. Involves removing the rockers and physically rotating the valves 90*that are not rotating.
Since we are in a weather holding pattern in Minnesota til the thaw, I am remodding Momma’s bathroom (Jeep points) and waiting until late April to do a proper repair. Will update with the TSB number when I find it again.
Google this “09-003-03 recall”
You should get a WJJeeps.com pdf

Dave’s house is the only one on his side of the street. The rest is owned by a cement company and hundreds of acres that will soon be up for sale. It would actually make a great off road park. Great idea about naming it. I like the idea. I’ll have to see what dave thinks about it.@Kathy , is there any land available next door..lol, that shop is beautiful!.
Are you going to give it some sort of clever jeep shop name

Finally found a way to keep my gas bill down.....
Actually my eldest daughter tore her ACL a few years back and after repeated knee sprains the Doc recommended using an exercise bike...so borrowed one from a mate to see if it works.......personally I think its a great way to keep the tree huggers happy.

Want to get a 4.2L manual trans? You only need 3 steps.
1. Mount your machine in front, top of the engine hood with a steel pedestal plate.
2. Cut a rectangular louver hole through the hood, lined up with the clutch fan.
3. Hook your pedal to the serpentine belt to help spin the camshaft.
Maintenance: Knee lubrication in every 5 minutes may be needed.

How the hell did you get that in there? Did you actually lift that over the laying down top? I would have the rest and drink lots of water just lifting that in there. haha.

Changed out the K&M filter for a dry AEM.
Also got in my new Moog sway bar links and realized they are sold individually. Now to wait another couple of days on the other half.
