    Advice Needed on Selling my Husband's LJ

    First, thanks again for the great advice, kind words, condolences and sometimes laughs from some of the posts. Very much appreciated. Second, I do not have a problem with a potential buyer having access to the inspection report, especially someone out of state. I would never intentionally...

    Advice Needed on Selling my Husband's LJ

    Thanks everyone. Jamie used to say that to a jeep guy leaks were no big deal. It is what they do. I also heard him use the "marking territory" comment :)Apparently I just have not come across the right buyer yet and I do have time to wait. It is listed here on the forum.

    Offroad Trail Apps, How to Use Them?

    Just wondering...does no one use Nat Geo maps. I love paper for a back country travel. Now I do acknowledge that maps are not available for all locations but if I am headed to a local that has a map, I have to have it.

    Average cost of ownership for TJs?

    My cost of ownership is pretty low (since 2014) and limited to Tires=650, battery=75, and replacing front endlinks (paid a shop before I knew better) = 200, and one sensor = 30. I don't think Mods should be considered in the calculation of TCoO cause those are elective.

    Treat brand spanking new vinyl seats with the Aerospace 303, yay or nay?

    Tire fit options

    Your springs are currently 1" under stock lenght, most likely due to sag but with you BL the fenders are stock height. 33's are just to big for that setup without rubbing as you know. Choice 1 You could adjust the steering stops to take care of the rubbing, but your turning radius is going to...

    Average cost of ownership for TJs?

    Cost is pretty low. I do all my wrenching. But I have to disagree with Chris. You will want to move to a location that does not salt rather than moving a rust free Jeep north only to have it rot away. Or park it during the winter and rent a car from Enterprise.

    The meaning of Jeep

    So it looks like @JMT has a bit of time on his hands. What no mods to install or things to fix on the honeydo list? Seriously though thanks for the post. I had heard of a couple of them but not "the rest of the story"

    Take it off and hammer it out. Might need some heat. Or Local bone yard/you pull.

    Why is forward bushing on top front control arms sold separately?

    Not many I don't think but I am sure some have. For me considering the arms (Moog) at 20 to 25.00 are generally twice the cost of the bushings alone it just was not worth the effort to save 10 to 12 bucks.

    Why is forward bushing on top front control arms sold separately?

    Yep a PITA. At one point you'll wish you did not start it, then wonder if it might be easier to drop the axle. Then right before you know you'er screwed it will start to move and pop out. If I were to do it again I would drill out the rubber as much as possible then collapse the housing with a...
