    Chudlet's First TJ

    Well, with truck repairs, wife in the hospital for a few days and last daughter's wedding in a few weeks, the account has been tight and I have not spent much on Jeep parts this year other than to buy @mrblaine s steering cooler as the first step toward assisted steering. I've been following...

    JMT Wildfire Relief

    Hey Jeremy, I know you have a ton of help from your church and local friends, but if you need a few more hands, I am happy to come over and help, pretty sure a bunch of the Turtles would be happy to jump in and help. The offer is there, I just don't want to overload you, sometimes there is such...

    What did you pay for your TJ?

    Sorry, no. I sold them to pay for parts right after I got the Jeep.

    What did you pay for your TJ?

    $5000 for a 2001 Sport, 330,000 mile commuter from Mt Rainer to Seattle. Prescuffed so I didnt have to worry about the first one. 4 years later and a fair bit of Blood, Sweat and Tears (and money).

    This is why you don't take the top off until Father's Day. Couple years ago it was darn near a blizzard.

    Chudlet's First TJ

    Well it's been a minute and a half since I've done anything to this Jeep other than driving through the hills of North Idaho and Eastern Washington maybe some Western Montana. Thought it was time to add a couple of pieces of bling to it. Maybe now I can defend myself from the Rocks a little...

    Dyno Testing Bolt-ons On The 4.0

    Apologies, bad word choice on my part. Your one of those folks that has the knowledge and experience to hand create a tune and you know it is right. I am barely a shade tree mechanic that would have to buy a tune and hope it is right. The rest of the bolt-ons I could accomplish outside the...

    Dyno Testing Bolt-ons On The 4.0

    I would be curious to see what the FRP tune does instead of the DIY HPTune you did on the video. He claims 10-12% increase. I have no reason to doubt that, but it would cool to see if verified.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Hey, I grew up in Mtn Home (grade 1-9), which might explain a few things about me or not... Had lots of fun out there in the desert. I am jealous of the mid arm. Did you outboard the shocks at the same time?

    Found limits of departure angle, need new tailgate

    It would be nice to remove the spare, but like most of you, I tend to be one of the more prepared in my group. So I carry a plug kit, GlueTread, valve stems and a spare. Last year I used everything but the plug kit in one trip for a guy that sliced both tires on the passenger side. The glue...

    You sir are a splendid photographer. One question, how do you keep your Jeep so clean out in the wild?

    Found limits of departure angle, need new tailgate

    LOL been there.... Done that. Found that tank trap and maybe even a tree to pause my backward momentum down a hill. A little torque and mechanical persuasion and it closes and seals pretty good again. ;-)
