grab a set of stock 3.5 inch flares, they'd look killer with those new tires; here they are on the same thing in 12.5 inch 33s which probably stick out 2 inches beyond the flares
What did you do to your TJ today?
- Thread starter LJRubiconGuy
- Start date
Replaced some nasty ball joints, installed chromoly shafts, made my radiator hoses using the coolant temp sensors from a 5.9 zj and started sorting out the wiring. Oh, and I broke my power steering pump changing the pulley 
Installed a Warn gas tank skid and adjusted the rear brakes. Parking brake finally holds on a grade
Even got my old 31” tires and wheels sold.... productive Saturday by my standards....

Went to hike to Lemhi Falls. Didn't make it. Had fun anyways. Drove until parts (licence plate) fell off. Actually drove until 3 pm and turned around before something happened and it got dark and cold.

I took my bikini top off and put on the new bowless because rains will be coming soon, windows went on really easy so should come off and on just as quick!
I made a bit of a mistake I clipped the top into the door surrounds before I pulled the top back enough and the bits that curve at the header are not all the way home but the top was so tight I couldn't get them back out to pull it backward more so will have to wait till it stretches' a bit.
I like my Rampage top and the sound bar bulge doesn't bother me at all. Will look a little better when I put the supports in the front. I like the way you can store the windows in the top. Can't wait till my carpet is ready to pick up from ACC just down the road from me. Got Regotta Blue, will look so good with the Denim seats and the stone washed denim blue painted dash parts. I guess I will have the only Levi Edition TJ .... I know they didn't offer it in the TJ , I just offered it to myself. I don't care if nobody likes it ..... doing this baby up to please me !
If this is what it looks like without the sound bar then I think I prefer the sound bar.

The back window is better than having that big lump for wiper blocking your view on the hard top.
I am still in shorts and sleeveless t-shirt all day and Its the start of winter in Perth lol I have not seen snow like that since I went to Bavaria years
Your tj should always be about your wants. Have fun.
Still hottish here in Perth around the 80f mark but starting to get a bit cooler early morning, this summer has been a nightmare! Hottest driest Summer on record, Its no fun driving or even going out in the heat so I have sort of missed a summer due to it being too hot to do anything, I Think I will move to TassieEaster weekend and I had to work half of it...drove it to work yesterday with the doors off and top down. I misjudged just how warm it was thoughhaha...looked like a sunny day outside (and it was) but the temp was just under 50 degrees with a chilly southerly wind and I was just in shorts and a hoodie haha.
Just a wee bit brisk up the leg of my shortslol.......still had a smile on my face though.

whoa !! anything above 85 (29 degrees with that high humidity) and it becomes less fun, and a need to find a pool or drive the naked in the TJ..Still hottish here in Perth around the 80f mark but starting to get a bit cooler early morning, this summer has been a nightmare!

.Thankfully over here in NZ we rarely touch 30 degrees and it we do its just for a day or 2 then back down to 26.
Anyone know what these are for? I got them in a gasket kit that included a head gasket, throttle body gasket, water pump gasket, valve cover gasket, manifold gasket, injector O rings, exhaust flange gasket, and a couple other things. I haven’t came across anything that looks like this in all the things I’ve replaced on my 2.5l 97 TJ
Here is a link to thread on my jeep , I will put up pictures of the new interior when I get it done . I think it will look cool and I don't think I spent all that much money on it. Interior was trashed and since I had to fix it , always liked the Levi edition , so why not !

They look like they are for the valve stems . Are there 8 of them?
Your country is back asswards. Summer is here.
