When that puppy is no longer a puppy, you may not have room enough for all 3 back there, LOL.
What did you do to your TJ today?

They are my absolute favorite dog. The downside is their lifespan. I never had one live past 11 years. My old ass poodle lived 18 years and my ex-wife's cat that I took in the divorce refuses to die at 22. Evil bitch! (Both the ex and her cat).
I have only had one that did not well past 11. One even lived till 16. Don't let them get fat. Life span of large dogs is about 10. Small dogs 15. Muts live longer than true breads.They are my absolute favorite dog. The downside is their lifespan. I never had one live past 11 years.

Installed the new top today. Digging the tinted windows.
90000 mile service. Oil, front and rear diff, trans fluid change. New plugs. Replaced OPDA with Crown unit. Rear brakes with new rotors. Replaced leaking rear axle seal and bearing. Degreased engine. Covered most of my day.
I decided I was tired of looking at the literal piece of bailing wire that was holding down my battery. So the battery is now in the garage, the battery tray is in the sink being de-rusted, and a top clamp assembly is on order from Warrior Women. I *really* wanted to buy something local, but nobody has anything in stock, and what they do sell is pretty much crap in stock or otherwise. So I gotta wait now - but hell, It'll take me a couple of days to get the tray drilled, primed and painted.

Are you sure thats a dog and not a small horse
Thanks for sharing this. I have added a pair to my shopping list on Amazon! LOL I think those would really improve the sound.
Really it depends on his mood. Since its 2020 he identifies as either Batdane or a Great PantherdaneAre you sure thats a dog and not a small horse
This has turned into a lesson,
On dirt bikes, we always make it a point to know our set up. . Spring rate, needle, clip position, clickers ...so if you make a change you know where you were and which way to go.
Well, on this Jeep I've worked on for 3 years I went right past the springs, exact lift height, pinion angle, etc. It was all just an unplanned deal of trying to fix the p.o. stuff and getting input from too many people ..but not TJ experts.
So here I am dealing with it , 1" motor mount lift coming now because we've maxed out what we can get with the adjustable control arms ... learning ..but having fun.
After doing the front brakes 2 weeks ago I checked the torque on all of the lug nuts and since we are having a Santa Ana (96-103*) come in tomorrow thru Saturday; I checked the A/C system refrigerant pressures and temperatures.

By the way, I am not a wheeler dealer, you do not have to buy me lunch. It's free.

Yesterday, replaced a rear axle seal on the Dana 44. Having never done one I was very apprehensive but got er done!
Looks great. Time to buy some tinted uppers too. I was the only one in my town to have them way back. Everyone
wanted them and I wouldn't tell them where I found them.
p.s. I always parked my Jeeps in front of my rich brother's house to make them look better. I live in a haunted house.

I previously posted about adding a new switch and relay for my lightbar. Here are some pics of the install. I like that it looks factory.
Dropped the gas tank & replaced the fuel pump
Hey haunted houses are cool! I didn’t even know tinted uppers were a thing.

Brought my jeep to the locksmith today with my single SKIM key and two blanks I bought on ebay. Guy cut one of my new blanks but for the life of him could not program it. Brought out one programmer and I kept seeing "CAN" on the screen. I asked him if that referred to the "CAN" bus. He said, "I guess so." I was like yeah, that's not gonna work on a 2004, it's PCI. Nice guy, just think he was out of his element. Very small shop where the guy works out of his house. Told me no charge on the cut. Guess I gotta go to the big locksmith in the city. Oh well.
Hey props to you for giving small local business a chance!
