Hello everyone I'm Wally and I'm a Jeepoholic :)

We actually have a fleet of JK's here for rentals in TCI but I picked up a TJ (2006 2.4 6 Speed) a while back and now I'm here.

This TJ actually sat outside in bushes through TWO back to back Hurricanes 2017 Irma (Cat5) and Maria (Cat3) and took a fair beating. It was sitting due to oil leak (previous owner assumed incorrect front seal repair). Turns out the previous mechanic hammered the seal in and broke the oil pump housing. :rolleyes:

Long story short it's in my care now and will bounce it back to life over time. Photos attached (not in bushes)

Nice to meat you all.

Welcome to the forum, I think you're the only one on here from Turks & Caicos. Do you see many other TJs there?

I look forward to seeing you bring it back to life (y)
 
That thing has been though it. Cool to see you’re fixing it up.
 
Welcome to the forum! How’s the underside with rust after two hurricanes?

Not too bad on the underside, I thought I would need to replace body mount brackets from google research of common problems but I do have another rust issue that I will create a thread asking for suggestion.

Thanks everyone, you have been really welcoming on my 1st day. (y)
