Looks like you still have 6k miles of warranty left
What did you do to your TJ today?

Sweet! Love old Jeeps and Bugs. Guess I like my cars like my women- older, classic, and whenever I see them my heart beats faster.

I swapped the deep-dish 15" bullet holes and Wrangler 35/12.50 MT's for a set of plasti-dipped 17" JK sports on 33" BFG ATs. Then went to work on de-dipping them. The ride is remarkably better! Last big-ticket projects (for now) are getting a tail-pipe and taking out the 3" body lift. Also ordered some replacement OEM flares and used some Garner Bender flex-tube to wrap the sound bar wires and zip-tied it to the B-pillar rollbar. They were exposed after stripping off the dry-rotted rollbar padding.
it's gonna look so good with that BL out of there. You dropping to 1" or just taking it out altogether?
Planning to pull it out entirely. It's already got a 4" skyjacker suspension lift as well so it's 7" of total lift and you can tell. No idea what the coke addict PO was thinking but it's like driving on stilts.
It amazes me the time and effort to reverse the work done prior, to change a jeep to something more drivable and better looking. At one point did everyone think the only way to go was up and run 35's
Couldn't agree more. TJ's are a remarkable vehicle and incredibly capable on their own terms. I've listed it for sale a couple of times because I feel conflicted about tearing out all of this equipment that someone else might want, but it's clear most of the market feels the same way I do. Not practical, especially not for a 2.5L.
Not much of that over here in the Mississippi delta side of the state!Don't be hatin' - Maybe he liked doing deep water crossings....
Just had to go and mess w my hood ornament.
Not sure if I like it, jury's still out.

Spent a few bucks on a Rigid led bar. Took off the Rigid infrared cubes to put these in. Very bright.
I actually bought a Torque wrench today for the TJ, My first since bad experiences with father son engine rebuilds in a very late 1970,s cold winter garage Chrysler 180 rebuild and he forgot to oil the bearing shells! Good old dad I really do miss your mistakes

How much lift do you need for 17" JK wheels/tires? they are 2 a penny in Australia at the moment!
As a group you are all-—- well? You know the answer! Memories paint a picture and nothing can take that away! Back on the PBR by the way after a 2 week lay off lol
After googling Fishtaco, I’m afraid to see that sticker…I think you will get used to it! I might put my "Fishtaco" hood decal on tomorrow! easy off anyway
