    WTB: Looking for a clean LJ frame

    In the market for a frame for my 05 LJ. I don’t want a hit or bent frame. If you have one or know someone getting rid of one let me know. I can pick it up if it’s within 500 miles of NYC. I am looking to stay under 2k. Swap will cost me about 2700 in labor so I will have to stick to my budget...

    How’s my cam looking after OPDA?

    So I finally heard the noise for the dreaded OPDA. It’s an 05 LJ with around 73k miles. Has been pretty good thus far but I did notice a little hair like crack on the side as shown in pictures.
