    Question about the catalytic converter

    If you don't need them where you are, you could get rid of them. but i think your engines pc would freak out and continually send codes, and cause fuel mix to be wrong.

    Which is the better Jeep?

    I paid $10500 for my 04 Rubicon with 132k on it. It is a 4.0 with a 5 speed. I picked up an 03 SE w/2.4 and automatic with 250k on it for $1500.00 the 03 is fun for around town but no fun on the express way...very anemic, the rubicon is my DD. Get the 01 but i would try to negotiate that price...

    Is it possible to pull a pop-up camper with a TJ?

    How many of you outdoor cook with a Traeger? If not what is your BBQ rig of choice?

    When you go low and slow you get more smoke and the fat renders better. My .02 🍻

    Decisions for my new to me 2003 TJ SE
