Bought an LJ

Precisely why I never bought an Unlimited. I'd end up spending even more money on it than I have on my TJ, which seems almost impossible.
It’s hard not to spend money on it knowing I have things to fix and upgrade things on the TJ. I have had a severe lack of motivation lately I’m regards to jeeps and I’m trying to remedy that by doing some quick wins. This OPDA adventure was not helpful in elevating my mood haha.

.... and a swaylock up front with AR in the rear.
If I was to upgrade the sway bars this is the way I would go. I have the AR on my TJ and really this the dual rate of the swaylock would make street driving much nicer.

Forgot to mention also removing almost 300lbs of bumpers and armor was fun. It had all jeeperman stuff and it’s built tough, I just don’t know if I need the extra weight on this rig.

Welcome to LJ Rubi world! I had an '04 for 3 years and have had my '06 for 7 years. I bought an OPDA replacement and threatened the LJ with it, but have not installed it. Watch out for the gasoline burp when you fill it up. Only real fix is to drop the tank and repair the valve (many write-ups). Mine is nearly stock - winch, radio, LED headlights and I have never been stuck. Of course, I go mainly to the beach on Padre Is. Have fun!

Nice looking LJ and I like the direction you're going with it. Similar to mine!

With a handle like Lax22 I have to ask if you're involved in Lacrosse? One of my sons wore that number for years; it's a popular one. We actually played in Maryland on a few occasions.

I did play, I was a goalie from the time I started until my early 30s when I got tired of getting hit with the ball. Played in college up in NJ and in a few adult leagues after in MD. My dad still coaches and all my siblings played at some point. Great sport!

I was throwing him a bone there since he already has a rubi 4:1. Geez, not trying to spend all the guys money for him!
Haha, I already have another TJ so in need all the money I can get. With the mileage on this thing Id consider the HEMI, but I’d love an atlas in my TJ.

I thought that was a goalie stick I saw on your upper shelf. Long time player here too. I started at 4 and played until 26 when life started to get in the way. My sons are 4th generation players now retired. I got into it all over again when they started in the late '90s. I went from Coach and Referee to club President plus pretty much everything in between and loved every minute of it. I finally stopped playing pickup when I was 57. I played Box Lacrosse only but ended up in both Box and Field for everything else. I never played goal though. I'm not THAT crazy! lol.

My handle, PCO6, stands for the last team I played for and my number.

My dad passed his love of the game to all of us. My brothers and I all played as long as we could. I ran an adult league for some time and no one wanted to take the reins when I had to move on so it folded. I tried Coached for a time but never caught the bug. Also 22 was my dads number, I wore #2.

It definitely runs in the family. For me it was my Grandfather and 2 Brothers, my Dad and his Brother, my Mom's Brother, my 2 Brothers and so far my 2 Sons. I keep telling them I need some Grandkids to coach so I can start the whole process over again!

One of my best memories was my Brothers and I playing catch with my Dad, who's gone now, on his 81st birthday. He held his own.

That’s great! My two brothers and my dad played attack, so being a goalie that was good practice for me. My Dad and I would go head to head in our backyard on many occasions and play first to 15. We all had a lot of fun making up games like that with our friends something I hope to do with my kids one day.

On the LJ front. Bought a Mopar radiator and all the other associated cooling system parts to refresh the cooling system yesterday. I noticed that it seems to run a little warmer than I’d like, the water pump was replaced in 2016 with napa unit. I just want it all done for piece of mind.
