    Team LJ: TJ Fest 2021

    Sounds like a good group, even though I will have length envy! 🚌 I'm in for the whole week if there is room, though I think we will duck out of the Tuesday run up TOTW due to the wife's extreme fear of heights (and mine, a bit).

    TJ Fest 2021 - Moab (April 24 – May 1, 2021)

    Ah, Jeez. Been too much going on in my life recently (lost job, got new job, work on TJ to get it ready, long bouts of alcoholic stupor (brought on by loss of job and freaking over new job) :LOL:... Anyway, I have not been keeping up. Is there a place to see where certain groups (like Team...

    Replacing the interior lights of your Jeep Wrangler TJ with LEDs

    @ZeroFlocksGiven, you would almost certainly get more responses if you created a new thread for your question. About the only people who will see this post are those who had replied in the original thread. My first thought would be an bad or incorrect flasher. Best of luck.

    I'm in! The "new" steering gearbox fixed the problem! On my way to return the core and get an extended gas hose, my hope that the OE would work with the 1" body lift was not to be :( See you guys in the AM!

    Still interested. Just got my replacement gearbox this evening...maybe. Deal is, it does not look exactly like the OE unit so it may or may not fit. I'll know more in the morning when I try to mount it up. If it fits and it cures my death wobble, I'm all in for Sunday at HF.

    Texas Texas Jeepers!

    Thanks, yes, I have adjusted the box (which, because it's a Mercedes, adjusts backwards) but you can only go so far. I adjusted it on the bench and tested it to be within spec for over-the-center drag, blah, blah, blah. Basically, my box needs to have the gears re-machined to work like it...

    Texas Texas Jeepers!

    Well, I have my TJ back but, once the shop did the alignment, I now have death wobble...big time. 😨 Since mine has a boat-load of play in it, I have a rebuilt steering gear box on order and it should show up on Thursday. My ball joints are new Spicers and my track bar, tie rod ends, drag link...

    Correct. Turns out the pinion yokes are worn pretty badly where the seals run so they're going to replace them too...when they get them.

    I'm in...assuming I have my danged Jeep back 😒 I should, it's just waiting on parts that are no doubt delayed due to the covidity. I would prefer HF because I'm planning on making it to WC the next weekend with the SAJE gang.

    TJ Fest 2021 - Moab (April 24 – May 1, 2021)

    Why, that's mighty neighborly of ya, pardner! I was seriously thinking about one of these to go along with my mobile/mounted unit to act as a loaner/spotter but have not done a deep dive into it's abilities. Does it have the ability to save a channel settings profile to a file that could...

    Go here to get the installation manual for the above BodyArmor 4X4 sliders. It looks like a copy of a copy of a copy but it has step-by-step instructs. https://www.bodyarmor4x4.com/installation-instructions/ Then, click on the button near-ish the bottom on the right that says: Yeesh! That...

    Blower Motor Woes

    OK, the highest current circuit controlled directly by the switch assembly is the blower motor. looking at page 8W-42-3, you can see that the positive/battery power to the blower motor is supplied through the BLOWER MOTOR RELAY and goes directly to the motor from there, so that side it...

    TJ Fest 2021 - Moab (April 24 – May 1, 2021)

    One other thing I should make clear; the AnyTone AT778UV / Retevis RT95 and the Baofeng radios are all "Amateur" radios that can work in the GMRS/FRS frequencies. They are NOT, however, officially sanctioned GMRS radios. Because of this, you are not "technically" allowed to operate them on the...

    TJ Fest 2021 - Moab (April 24 – May 1, 2021)

    No, the AnyTone AT778UV is a full GMRS send/receive radio. Getting mine from Wally World (Walmart.com) for about $5 more than Amazon...well worth it to not support a company who thinks that their opinion on politics is more important than Americans' right to free speech...oops, better stop. I...

    Rain water gets in hood louver, causing belts to squeal

    Exactly what I did. I had the long narrow grills on my Rubi when I bought it and love the look but hated the water everywhere. Made a couple of plates out of aluminum and mounted at an angle to direct the water. Then painted silver to roughly match the TJ. If I had a metal brake, I would...

    TJ Fest 2021 - Moab (April 24 – May 1, 2021)

    Several have indicated that the handheld GMRS (or even FRS) units would be fine and that was the way I was going to go but I started thinking about it and realized a few things that would be true...for me: 1 - I would almost certainly forget them when I headed out. 2 - I would always forget to...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Why does that first pic make me think of the song Baby Got Back? "I like big butts and I cannot lie..."! :ROFLMAO:
