Great looking TJ and LJ! What happened to the LJ that caused it to have a rebuilt title?
Also, do you have any big plans for it?
Thanks! We put the handprints on there when my kids were 7/8 yrs old, 15 years ago when it was still running.I just moved from Camano Island not that long ago, been to Whidbey many many times while living over there in WA. Welcome to the forum, and very nice Jeeps you've got there. Love the handprints btw!
Don't know much, according to Carfax originally a Texas rig that had damage to drivers front from a guardrail. Rebuilt in Oregon in 2010/2011. Not planning much, OME lift, skinny 32's or 33's. Mostly DD with the occasional back country trip. Would like to do the WA Back country discovery trail
My step daughters grand parents live in Everett. Only place I've ever seen with girls in bikinis making coffee. Can't say I have seen one up close though.I grew up on Whidbey. Graduated from Oak Harbor High. Married my first ex-wife there, as well! LOL You never really appreciate a place until you leave it. Now I can't wait to "appreciate" Everett!
Welcome aboard!
Yep! That's Everett for ya. Even in the dead of winter. Actually had a court battle over the Bikini Baristas. Everett says to "cover up", but the baristas say they don't have to. So far, the courts have ruled in favor of the baristas. Wet Tee-shirt Wednesdays are the best, or so my son tells me. I wouldn't know. I'm more of an "instant coffee" kind of guy...or so my wife tells me...My step daughters grand parents live in Everett. Only place I've ever seen with girls in bikinis making coffee. Can't say I have seen one up close though.

Nice looking LJR. If I was to sell my jeep I would be looking for the exact color and trim. Auto or manual?
I had bfg 33x10.5 for a long time. They are a great tire
I'm originally from NW Indiana, but the Navy brought me to Whidbey in 1989 and I've lived there pretty much ever since. Sure has changed a lot in the past 30 yrs. I miss Kow Korner, but they still have the drive-in movie theatre.I grew up on Whidbey. Graduated from Oak Harbor High. Married my first ex-wife there, as well!

From what I gather it isn't that much weaker. It does have a slightly lower 1st gear ratio then the NV3550 so you do gain a bit of crawl ratio out of it. Now that I know its a manual I can say you have the exact LJR I would be after if I was to switch over.Mine is a 6spd manual. Pretty happy with it so far, I've heard that the 6spd isn't as strong as the 5spd but we'll see how it plays out.
The last time I went back, I pretty much decided was literally "the last time". Even the high school was unrecognizable. I was thoroughly bummed-out by the whole thing. Kow Korner was awesome! Seems to me they had some bitchin' deal on Wednesdays with their double cheeseburgers. Something like two for $1.50. As far as the drive-in theater goes, yeah...the Blue Fox Drive-In. Lost my virginity to my first ex-wife there during a Cheech & Chong movie in the back of my '67 Dodge Dart GT. Man, I miss that car...I'm originally from NW Indiana, but the Navy brought me to Whidbey in 1989 and I've lived there pretty much ever since. Sure has changed a lot in the past 30 yrs.

My son bought his TJ about a year before I got this, he doesn't know I've got mine yet. He's gonna be pissed at meFrom what I gather it isn't that much weaker.
