I actually really love this color. Past threads regarding color evidence my partiality to Flame Red, White, Inca Gold, and Impact Orange.
05 Flame Red TJ Build
- Thread starter JMT
- Start date
Looks great!!! I'm glad it worked out.
44 days to get it ready for Moab. It will be fun to see two generations wheeling.

Now it's time to clean it all up.
Frame needs work
Paint needs work, especially the grille
Paint the flares
New Headlights (I've already got some)
Clean up and paint the bumpers, maybe chop them, lose the jugs
Replace lots of bolts
Stone White Bolts around the windshield frame and cowl need to be cleaned up and re-painted
Door strap mount broke
Remove seats and carpet to clean
Detail interior (it's in pretty good shape overall)
Remove that stupid step on the side
Build it.
2" OME + Spacer + 1.25" Savvy BL, ZJ Tie Rod Conversion, MC Trackbar, 32's for now, Move my JCR Rock Sliders over, regear eventually to 513, bumpers will stay stock
EDIT: @Alex01, 44 days and counting! Wife said, why don't we bring 3 Jeeps to Moab?! 2 TJ's and an XJ

If it's got a Dana 44 rear, I'll donate 4:56 gears and a factory tracklok, and a spare axle shaft.
Flip of a coin for first drive. After that it’s every man for himself, and now woman, my wife and daughter love it.
Well crap, it’s a Dana 35. It’s one thing I’m not so happy about. The rest can be easily fixed. Gears are in the cards though. I like how the 42rle drives.
Yes, I was going to just try to adjust the stock shift linkage when I do the BL, but cable is wayyy better!
I see a Rubi Crawler in this Jeeps future....
You need a NEW build thread. What is this Jeeps name?
I'd argue with a rubicrawler, selectable lockers, and a super 35 kit it would out wheel a similarly lifted rubicon. Likely also cost a few K less given the rubicon price premium they have lately.I see a Rubi Crawler in this Jeeps future....
The milk jugs and step didn't take long to get taken off. Looking good!!
Inside tub looks pretty good. That's an aftermarket hard top me thinks.
