Anyone driving a 5th gen eco diesel? If so, how's the truck behaving? Asking for a friend 🤣

Got to do some exploring by myself today. My buddies YJ is having electrical problems. A few miles south of Kerchner caverns, there's a big hole in the ground that makes a great gun range. I have been planning to go back to this area and explore more trails and today worked out. I ended up at...

Went wheeling today in one of my favorite places, Las Cienegas NCA near Sonoita, Arizona. Had a great day and will post some videos in the wheeling forum. I had death wobble a couple of months ago coming home from the same area and eventually got my tires rotated and balanced to see if it would...

My wife and I and her sister and sister-in-law are driving to Mississippi, leaving the first week of October. We will be pulling our travel trailer and the sisters-in-law will be following in their camper van. We will have GMRS radios for comms between us and of course cell phones. This will be...

Got a Sunday to myself and went exploring South of Parker Canyon Lake. This area is in the Coronado National Forest. Also just for shits and giggles, my jeep decided to give me my first taste of the death wobble on the way home . First time after 6 jeeps.

I'm thinking about selling my TJR backseat. My jeep is mostly a trail rig for me and I'm planning on setting up the back for camping and overlanding equipment. I found one for sale in the Las Vegas CL for $700. Is this the going price for a very clean backseat? Appreciate any feedback.

Went to the Dragoons again and really enjoy thinking about the history of the area while I'm there. It's where the Apache Chief Cochise is buried. Went to the council rock area and then up to the Middlemarch pass found an abandoned 750 BMW blocking a trail. Thought about using my winch to move...

Got a rare Saturday to myself and went out exploring a power line easement. The video is with my cellphone. Hope it's not too boring.

I picked up a Blue Ox towing base plate and Blue Ox tow bar off Craigslist today. They came off of a 05 TJ, which I have. I would like to ask, when flat towing your TJ, what brake system are you using? I will be towing it with my 1500 Ram Big Horn.

The wife and I stopped to have dinner at Applebees Saturday night and I stepped out of my truck next to a JK or JL. Wasn't really paying attention to the year of the jeep. I had to take this picture though, and wished I had payed more attention to the angry grill and lights that I saw from my...

Went and did some exploring south of Benson, Arizona today. It was an absolutely gorgeous day. Mostly followed some power pole right of way roads and tried to see how close I could get to the actual mountain. I think I got to within about a half mile from the base. The Dragoon mountain is where...

Last year around September/October I overhauled my cooling system because of a radiator leak. I replaced the water pump, new 195° stant thermostat, fan clutch and flushed the system. All was good up until a couple weeks ago and got the P0128 code. My TJ was also down a couple months while I was...

I attempted to do the Rubicon locker bypass according to the Ken White method. I followed his directions and in his picture he did a ground jump from switch to switch and then to the main ground wire, which I duplicated. Then I connected the switches to the corresponding violet/ blue wire and...

Went wheeling in one of my favorite places in my area today. Got the front locker fixed and wanted to try out my new 2.5" lift and front sway bar disconnects. Haven't been out there in that area for 4 or 5 months. The county has been out there and graded a lot of the trails. Wasn't happy. Some...

This winch was already installed on my 05 TJR when I bought from a dealer. I was hoping someone could help identify it incase I need to get parts for it. I can see that it is a 12,000 lb winch.

I'm finally getting around to having my front axles replaced. I've also been acquiring everything to do the 2" budget list, aka new springs, new Rancho shocks, front disconnects, rear stabilizer bracket. I bought Yukon axles through Amazon and got a call from the mechanic that the box was...

I had my first trail breakage. Driver side front axle ujoint. Going to try and repair it myself. Planning on replacing both sides. Found a set of Spicer ujoints on Amazon. Is there anything else I should check or do while doing this repair? I found a set of front Chromoly 30 spline axles on...

I was driving around testing my mxt275 mobile and my uv-5r with my sister in-laws help yesterday. The good part, we were able to talk to each other about 5 miles across a couple different neighborhoods. She was at home with the uv-5r and one of my Motorola's I picked up at Costco several years...

Met my new friend Eric this morning for some exploring in Las Cienegas. Awesome day and lunch at an old ranch shack at the end of a trail. Awesome views all day.

Just installed the MXT275 in my 05 TJR. Nothing fancy for now. Used Velcro and stuck it on the driver side console next to my calf above the gas pedal. Just going to use the little antenna it came with for now. I have a couple of Costco Motorola HT's that I picked up years ago. My plan is to add...
