    Seduced by the Dark Side…

    Now I’m confused. Do I go to the coffee shop before or after driving through the mall parking lot? :) Going to the 3.6L from the four angry squirrels of the 2.5L is quite the change for sure.

    Well… I had no intention of this happening… But it did. … I have been seduced by the “dark side” and have sold my 1999 Jeep Wrangler. … ”Walked” into a deal on a vehicle that I couldn’t refuse… So I sold the TJ, with 192K miles (I know… Just broken in…), to pay for… … A 2013 Jeep...

    What size tires will fit a stock Wrangler TJ?

    Here are 245/75R17 on what I believe to be 2017 or 2018 17” rims. I do have the 1.25” adapters on to get the right wheel pattern. This was on stock 1999 TJ before I added a 1” BL. I got lucky on the wheels and tires as well. Got the wheels a little over a year ago from a dealership that was...

    What should I do first with $600?

    Since you have a significant other, you need to take the first $100-200 and take your wife out for a night on the town... Make it memorable... And also let her know that the remaining $400-500 is only the start to what you will ultimately be spending on this new hobby of yours. :ROFLMAO:

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Back up lights hadn’t worked since I obtained the vehicle. Fuse wasn’t the issue, so I ordered LEDs to replace what I thought were burnt out bulbs... Wasn’t the bulbs. Thought I was going to have to replace the switch in the tranny. Got under there to assess the “damage”. Found the wiring from...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Finished the MorRyde hinge and tailgate reinforcement by cutting one of the spacers in half, sanding the two parts a bit and installing them. Celebrated my accomplishment with an Old Fashioned. And yes, there is a pattern here... Make a mod to the TJ and have an Old Fashioned... [Just hoping...

    Welcome from your neighbor out to the west in Midland. Spent a couple of years in Pflugerville way back before it was surrounded by Austin and well before I knew how much fun Jeep’s were.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Mostly finished the install of the MORryde hinge reinforcement kit. Three of the five spare tire bumpers are making good contact. Will need to cut one of the blanks in half and possibly trim the two halves to complete the process. I am concerned now that my tailgate opens much wider than it...

    Did I overpay for my TJ?

    Would you sell it now to me or someone else on this forum for $7K?

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    No worries here... Pretty much have already figured out that I am the complete idiot... Good luck with competing with me on that account... The second to the last one, I was able to finally get the bolt extractor to grab and remove the bolt. On the last one, I was unable to get a bolt...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    No. I was instructed via this forum that JB Weld wouldn’t work... So I didn’t even try it. Used a combination of heat, trying to use pound an oversided Torx nut into the stripped opening, using a Dremel to create a slot for a flat head, using heat and using a bolt extractor. Bolt extractor...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Today, I removed the two torx bolts I stripped while trying to remove the tailgate brackets to install a Morryde tailgate reinforcement kit... Celebrated with an Old Fashioned after my success without any collateral damage.
