    Fast idle

    Hi. I have an 06 with a 4 liter and six speed. I noticed that lately when I am driving if I put it in neutral and come to a stop, sometimes it idles as high as 2000 RPM. Before it started to act up, it'd idle just below 1000 RPM. My mechanic checked the throttle in the engine, he said that...

    Anybody else in High-Tech?

    I am (was) a systems admin for a municipal government. I was doing Windows server administration, VMware and infrastructure. Then our webmaster and CIO butted heads and he left. I was the only one not already overburdened with work and had web design experience (personal though, not...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    That's awesome. I didn't go that far, but after the snow stopped falling I was running around with my top's front half folded open hehe. Thanks! That sounds nice, E23s are sexy. Must've sucked having to leave her behind. I regretted selling both of my 7s. Sold the silver one and upgraded...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Thanks! The headlights are WHDZ, I got them from Amazon for $100. They have a weird light pattern, but after a few months I don't even notice it anymore lol. The markers/signals were also from Amazon for $190. They are actually smoked. When I had my first 7 I was doing the same dark look...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Stopped by a local Jeep shop and saw they had a small 19" LED bar that was a perfect fit on my ARB bumper. The bumper had two mounts for lights but I never got around to getting any, so I bought this and made a bracket to mount it up. Pretty happy with it! Now just to give her a bath, lol

    Gamers

    I like gaming, but I don't do much. Too busy lately. A month ago I finally upgraded my PC so I could try some stuff out, bought a Core i7-7700k and overclocked to 5.2ghz, Corsair watercooling AIO kit, ASUS ROG Maximus Hero IX motherboard, 16GB DDR4, Samsung 960 Pro 512GB M.2 SSD, Corsair...

    Transfer case shifting?

    Thanks guys. That Novak cable shift sounds pretty nice, I think I'll just grab that. At $170, it's not particularly expensive and the smooth shift operation sounds like a nice perk.

    Transfer case shifting?

    Hi. My roommate got her tractor stuck in the mud trying to mow next to a creek. I drove my TJ down a hill and through the woods and pulled her out with my winch. When I went to leave, I didn't wanna tear up the grass on the uphill return so I went to put it in 4HI. I pulled the tcase lever...

    Strahan's 06 Rubi

    Thanks :) I had a "Flip Your Top" mod installed by my local Jeep mechanic: Pretty cool. I was at first dismayed / disappointed because it wasn't what I had expected. I didn't realize that as I flipped it back, when it was perpendicular to the rollbar I had to tuck the fabric back lol. No...

    Replaced Headlights with Truck-Lite Knockoffs

    I got my WHDZ LED headlights installed today. Bought them because the pics in the thread looked promising. However.... what the heck is with this weird pattern? Do you guys who run the same headlights have the same pattern? My friend said it looks like a huge cyclops eye lol

    The dead pedal I put in my TJ was $47 and didn't require cutting anything. All the JK dead pedals I see on a quick search bolt to the left side of the driver footwell wall. I can't see why that wouldn't work for us, assuming said wall isn't the actual exterior wall.

    Random photos: Got anything interesting, unique, strange?

    I have a nighttime part time job delivering pizza for Dominos. Took this pic today and posted it on Facebook: Captioned "Dominos - we'll get you your pizza, even if you live on the other side of a mud bog!" lol

    Strahan's 06 Rubi

    I love it. Yea, that goofy styling is part of why I got it, I like the unique design. The three door thing is fraggin dumb though. They have tooling for a rear driver side door, as in markets where it's right hand drive the single rear door moves from passenger to driver so if they have the...

    Strahan's 06 Rubi

    Thanks all! :) Good point on the hitch; I never really thought about how it's a bit low. Hmm. As to why there is two, I have no idea, I bought it that way. I guess the previous owner felt the bumper hitch was not strong enough and added the second. Niteshade is like a black paint but it's...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    I put a small scratch on the tub when a wrench slipped and at first I was like nooooooooo then I said wait... this isn't the Veloster, this is a Jeep. That's just character lol.

    Strahan's 06 Rubi

    Just wanted to post updated pics now that she has new shoes :) So happy with it :) I had to buy a new spare tire carrier, the last owner ground the studs off and welded them back on in 5x5 pattern, so couldn't put the spare on. Now I just gotta paint those wheel weights, took a lot to...
