daily driver

THIS IS MY FIRST POST AFTER USING THIS SITE FOR YEARS. THERE IS UNEEDED BACK STORY PROVIDED TO EXPLAIN MY MENTALITY REGARDING THIS SPECIFIC SITUATION AND HOW I DEAL WITH MY JEEP IN GENERAL. FEEL FREE TO SKIP THE NEXT PARAGRAPH IF YOU JUST WANT TO GET TO THE PERTINENT INFORMATION. I will start...

Hey everyone! I'm new to this forum, and new to jeeps, and wanted to document my build for anyone interested After a long search for my perfect TJ, i finally found one. Jan 13, 2021, drove 4 hours round trip and picked up a 2002, one owner, 96k miles, manual, 4.0, and it was mostly stock too...

Well as the title says I'm thinking of getting a XJ or ZJ. Thinking of tucking the LJ in the garage for the winter to avoid the Ohio winter salt. I have a Chevy 1500 already but I share it with the family and folks whenever so I'm thinking of getting a third vehicle for winter. Leaning towards a...

Hi everyone, I recently acquired a 98 TJ Sport 4.0L I6 5-speed with about 143K miles. She runs and drives with no major issues other than the fact that she handles poorly when at high speeds and while braking. The jeep came with a 4” skyjacker lift and shocks + 33” bias ply MT’s. I swapped out...

Hello! Glad to be among fellow TJ/LJ lovers here. Third car I’ve ever had and it is the third Jeep. I want to keep cog and on road drive ability good as my daily driver. I also want to take off the 2” budget boost and give a suspension lift. Was thinking 2.5-3”. Rock Krawler 3.5” was...

In July of 2017 i sold my mildly built 1997 Cherokee and picked up my dream Jeep, an immaculate, bone stock 5-speed 1997 Sahara with only 109k miles. My plans were to keep it stock and daily it college and eventually make it a trail rig once i got myself another vehicle to daily. It only took a...

This 1997 Jeep Wrangler TJ Sport started out as a project for my dad and I back when I was 16 and is now my daily driver. Him and I have upgraded or replaced almost every part except for the original 4.0 engine and manual transmission, both of which have just under 180,000 miles. We've used this...

Like the title says, do you drive your TJ/LJ daily. What are your pro’s and con’s? I have a small compact sedan I purchased for daily driving but use it mainly for long road trips that I take often. While I don't daily my TJ, I do drive my 95 YJ daily, I love driving my Jeeps. My commute to...

I'm sure people will think I'm an idiot for what I am about to ask but here it goes... I have an OME lift which is a very nice ride. I also have JKS J-Flex adjustable control arms and track bars. These arms have a ball joint at the one end. This ball joint makes a clicking noise in certain...

My TJ was a DD when I first got it. I put a lift on it shortly afterwards. It's been running a RE 3.5" lift kit for around 6 or 7 years. I was finally able to replace it with another DD. I've been keeping the miles off of it for just over two years. Now, I mostly wheel it and take it on the...

After two years of barely driving the TJ, to daycare every day and some weekend trips, I've taken a job where I'll have to drive it about 60 miles daily. What would you do to prep your Jeep for this transition? I've changed the oil regularly, flushed the coolant system and changed the...
