What did you do to your TJ today?
- Thread starter LJRubiconGuy
- Start date
Since Virginia made pot legal for personal use as of July, I installed some "personal use" micro brew equipment myself. You have to follow the science and the new government rules. Free beer anyone?

Nice looking Jeep....Pulled the doors off and put the first serious miles on it since the the refresh, 250+ this weekend. There were no leaks or vibrations and the Jeep drives and rides exactly like I wanted it to. Having gotten used to the Antirock on my LJ, driving with the Swayloc is nothing short of amazing on the road. The ride, with the combination of H&R springs, Savvy arms, and BlackMax shocks is honestly the best of any Jeep I've put together.
While stopping several times along my travels, people came over and started chatting with me about the Jeep. Asking questions, or just making general comments about the condition. In a dozen or more people, multiple mentioned the "shiny" arms, "sweet" bumper, "nice" tires/wheels, but not one said anything about the more notable lockout hubs. This is consistent with my LJ, which has the large Warn hubs on it. The lockout hubs are an obvious modification, but only if you know what you're looking at. Most don't.

A similar look is what I am working towards...
Love the reference.... "FOLLOW THE SCIENCE".....Since Virginia made pot legal for personal use as of July, I installed some "personal use" micro brew equipment myself. You have to follow the science and the new government rules. Free beer anyone?
p.s. I have peanuts and popcorn as "food", so I'm within government guidelines. Masks are frowned upon, until Halloween.

Intalled a pair of UCF trail doors and some tinted upper windows. I like the feel. Much lighter too.
Be careful allowing your Jeep to get caught in the rain....Installed my trail mirrors so I can again drive legally in the road.. not that I was bothered in the 2 weeks I drove without any mirrors. My other car attracts police I don’t want this one to catch their attention too…it’s a Jeep, it’s slow they should never bother me. Finally added my beachy decals I got 2 months ago, and ordered my hood decals. Washed her and the Diva and of course then got caught in the rain naked again … oh well it happens I just laugh and keep going. Oh yeah and my CEL came in P0455…103 miles after filling my gas tank…gas cap? Maybe we’ll find out soon.

The water intrusion in the proximity of your steering column may cause problems with the clock spring and multi function switch which will reek havoc on your steering column electronics.
You could put a cover over the steering column area, but realistically you would need to cover most of the dash board.
Boog, is that your grow house in the background? If so, you should move the tank, libtards might think it's chemicals used on your plants.

I would have known. The Warn hubs were one of my favorite upgrades on my TJ.Pulled the doors off and put the first serious miles on it since the the refresh, 250+ this weekend.

Yes I used 10-32 button head stainless screws to kinda flow. The inside of the bag has large fender washers to make them solid ish. I used a soldering iron to make the holes in the bags.
Since I'm going to install Savvy armor, I'd like to keep the look consistent with countersunk stainless steel Philips- head bolts. I'd want to drill out all the rivets, drill countersunk holes, then replace the rivets with 5/16-18 Phillips-head bolts. It's hard to tell from the picture, so from your perspective is there enough room to do countersunk holes? Obviously doing this in a way that maintains strength also depends on the material thickness. 1/8" isn't very thick, so I don't know if this would work. Maybe @mrblaine can chime in on the idea?
One of the reasons I skipped the UCF doors and went with JCR is that there are no rivets, its all bent 3/ 16 aluminum. Of course if I decided on the storage pockets something would have to be used. They also come with factory style hinges that only need to be drilled and tapped for factory mirrors.

Interesting....These are 3/16", vs 1/8", and you can use stock mirrors and not relocation brackets.
Yes, and they also come with parts needed to use Bestop Element soft uppers.
Doubtful that the adhesive for the velcro would last very long.
Here is Florida the sun is COOKING hot and will soften the adhesive on the velcro.
Tried velcro on several occasions and the adhesive sooner or later will let go.
