    Quirks of the 97 model

    Technically true. I drove a Sport for seven years. I bought a rusted out Sahara that I flipped for parts after I realized it was going to be beyond my capabilities to get it road worthy again and then bought another 97 Sport that I drove for a few more years. My only other Jeep was a briefly...

    What would you offer?

    Why paint them? Dark blue with silver would look pretty sweet.

    97 TJ Hood Safety Latch?

    Yes. I've had three '97s. I had a Sahara for a little while that didn't have the same latch system as my other two. I didn't have it long but my recollection is that it didn't have the latch. It was a weird one though. It was an Ohio Jeep and supposedly it actually started out as being owned by...

    1998 Jeep Wrangler TJ Sahara

    It happened to me when I was selling my first TJ on CL. I had it listed fairly low and I think my ad was getting flagged by someone selling their TJ for a higher price. People can be D--ks.

    Check out the custom hard top on this JK!

    Westphalia edition for a JK. That's a JK mod I can appreciate.

    Did you wind up selling it? I noticed the ad was gone.

    Unorthodox Jeep build. Suggestions needed.

    I was reading up on the Renegades, gas mileage is in the low thirties and they are pretty decent off-road. Not Wrangler good but Subi good and maybe a little better. A used one would probably cost you the same as a Cummins Diesel swap. I honestly don't see how you can get a TJ or a converted...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Love Ellijay. Now you need to go to Helen for the beer and schnitzel.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Installed a stereo today. I had never done it before. It didn't take that long either. Maybe 1.5 hours. I can't get the back speakers to work and the fronts are garbled. I'm sure I need new fronts. Not sure what's going on with the back speakers. Still, nice to have tunes after two years of...

    Bad Oil Pressure Gauge

    I have the same issue and it's been going on for two years. I think it's related to buying my sending unit from autozone. Mine was at 0 when I bought it. The guy I bought it from told me that the sending unit had been replaced so it was probably the gauge. I figured I would try the simple...

    YJ Love Fest

    So I found a couple of pics of my old YJ. I just owned it for a summer but figured it's a great thread to post the pics in.

    How hot is too hot?

    You have to love it when it's simple and cheap.

    Dirt Every Day

    I'm watching the Texas Jeep rescue again. When I discovered it, I watched the Jeep episodes and now I'm watching it all in order. The Baja Bug episode had me looking at Baja Bugs. That just looked like too much fun.
