    How often do I have to drive my TJ?

    Thanks for all the reply's, It's been an interesting topic with a lot to consider when storing or only intermittently driving you Jeep. I've had arthritis since I was 35 and although it pains me to admit it, nowadays - as much as I love doing it - I can not push that clutch on a day to day...

    How often do I have to drive my TJ?

    I have a good charger. Good point, I keep the tank full up and plan on running a tank full every three months or so but I may need to look at stabilizers Bought it new in 2001 to replace my three YO 97 TJ, will need to pry it from my cold dead hands

    For your entertainment...

    I don't indulge in TT but a mate sent me the link and I thought I'd share it and yeah, if it was a TJ you could change the oil out and might be ok but I have my doubts about how a new Ford ranger would withstand that much water in the motor & trans.

    How often do I have to drive my TJ?

    Hey All! How often do I need to take my TJ for a run? And for how long do I need to drive it? what maintenance procedures should I put in place? For the most part the TJ now lives in it's natural habitat, in the garage with the hood up connected to the battery charger as we now have a new...

    Synthetic, Blend, or Conventional Oil?

    If you already have a leak it may leak more but, no! Synthetic don't cause leaks.

    Help interpreting legality of bigger tires and lift in Australia

    I'm led to believe they have put a stop on 37 on a JK in Vic.

    Help interpreting legality of bigger tires and lift in Australia

    Well yes and no... ...If you run "quick disconnects" there is a good chance they will rub at full articulation and they will most certainly rub on your control arms on stock rims. I'd suggest that's why in the USA you could buy a TJ with a 30x9.5 Goodyear GS-A Tyre option from the factory...

    Which of these Falcon shocks would you buy?

    I use to run the rancho 9000 adjustable - on a three inch lift - but didn't like them one bit. I like an OEM soft ride so I picked up a set of near new JK takeoffs and converted to JK shocks. Cost me about 200 bucks all up. Very happy

    Just Another Tailgate Table

    Actually, I'm on the short side but if I went with the lower option as my dog tries to put his front paws up on the table and it's dangerous with hot food. I've tried to train him to not jump up but he cant resist and this works well, I can cook in peace and not worry about him pushing the camp...

    Just Another Tailgate Table

    I put together a simple Tailgate Table the other week and as I was weighing up how to go about it my new Dog (K.A.O.S) was jumping up and annoying the shit out of me which had me thinking, dog that likes to investigate while cooking - as dogs do - might be a problem so the fold down vertion may...
