It was closer to giving me a heart attack. After I had to drop the radiator out and replace it on The 4th of July I was over it. Glad I got it out of the way because the new girl Calypso is a blessing and a half

Jokes on you, I already did! That’s the upgrade I did. I went and sold the jeep for 9600 and dropped an extra 400 to grab a 6cylinder😁😁😁 already has a 3.5-4 inch lift and 33 inch tires. Just upgraded the shocks bushings and most bearings and I’m going to be going to uwharrie soon! And also...

Damn man I was really hoping some ol forum buddies from my first post would be able to go. But im glad that you're making a move for the better and hope that everything goes well for you! Drive safe!! And thank you a ton for letting me know that Uwharrie is fun after all!

Look @Chris you can like my posts and even move them but I'll be damned if you dont comment welcoming me back to the forum or offering to drive out here to join us. Rude *shaka* missed you man

BTW @rdu-jeep @1997JeepTJ @mgroeger would any of yall be down to do an offroading excursion at Uwharrie? figured yall would be some of the first to ask since you're more local and possibly have been(I did some money moving and did some changes in the setup so I can now actually go offroading)

Any of my NC Jeep fam want to try out Uwharrie or meet up there? Ive never been and it will be a first for me so I figured why not try out a trail 3 hours away in a more central part of North Carolina and meet some of yall while im at it! I think there are 3 different trails there and im sure it...

Sorry I've been MIA I'm right now focusing on my salt water reef tank and planning on building another shortly as I'm in Wilmington visiting an old friend and heading back to Greenville tomorrow. I should have taken the Mazda since there are 70 mph zones so you will catch me driving back to...

I appreciate the wise words. My TJ is an 05 and I’m probably going to do all of my learning on her and sell her off for a 6cyl like you said. Then maybe I can get above 65😂

Well shit all I know is how to do research and put that information to use and try to fix my cars myself so that I don’t have to spend 4 grand on someone else to install a 120$ radiator etc. I made the mistake of buying a 4 cylinder because I went on the FB marketplace and saw a 9 grand Jeep...

Man I’m 19 in college and don’t have the money for a boat or gear to fish Ahha. I’d rather live in Jacksonville or Greenville full time so I’d actually have stuff to do. But the MCX is useful I give CP that much

I appreciate the advice and I can’t wait to get out of morehead. Aside from how close it is to cherry point(father is vet navy so I have access) there is nothing to do here and I’m dying of boredom. Can’t wait to get back to school at ECU(go pirates)

No the name “zedd” does not ring a bell actually. Should it?

Well if anyone from nc wants to help a brother out I’m in morehead city and I’m about ready to sell my jeep. My radiator exploded and I spent my 4th of July replacing it. Took 4 hours. Then my tachometer stopped working until I ran it for a minute revving, turned it off, then now all I get is...

I wish I could relate but because of the tires that were thrown on by the previous owner, I can’t make it into 6th gear or take any of the 70mph roads! Thank you for the welcoming though!

Hiya I’m Clint and I’m a new Jeep owner(yes I bought it myself) and attached is Candi my 05 6 speed manual wrangler TJ with 33.5 inch tires and a 2.5” lift. Heard that the jeep community was big and welcoming so here I am. I’m also wondering if anyone has any engine recommendations to trade out...
