Hello, Jeepers!

I've been in the Jeep life for almost 15 years but I took 3 years off. I procured a few other hobbies like vintage camping and kayaking. Welp, I'm back!! Now I'm getting my rig back on the road and trail again. This weekend is the Jeep blessing in Mesnick, I should go.

My list of Jeep todo's;

1) replace water pump not had to do but harder to get to you will see.
2) trans pump leak on a 32RH automatic transmission.
3) replace my rusted out tube fenders and tube sliders three years off and whoa the rust bomb went off!
4) put plates back on it.

I took some poser shots before garaging it. This was the last time I drove it in 2015

Welcome back!
 
Welcome to the forum. Great looking TJ too!

You might want to address that rust on the rear frame (by the rear bumper) as well... When you can get around to it of course!
 
Welcome aboard and back to the Jeep life / obsession! Any chance you can post what you've got in terms of lift and wheel size, etc? Really digging the overall stance of your TJ! Thank you in advance.

I've always tossed around adding a trans pump breather tube into the bell housing. Then again I stay out of deep water and mud. The rule of thumb is, if water goes over my hood then I already f'ed up.
