What did you do to your TJ today?
- Thread starter LJRubiconGuy
- Start date
Must have been made in China. Nothing I've ever used did that.
No matter where the parts are made; if the spacers are made of Poly they will compress.
Steel or aluminum are better suited for this application which is why I installed fender washers instead.
Took the TJ for a 3 hour (round trip) drive to bring home it's overweight American cousin.
p.s. It's for my wife. I forgot how nice these things drive (04' with 101,000 miles). Lady's dad owned it and died 3 years ago. It was emotional for her to sell it.

My 2001 Grand Cherokee is still one of my most favorite rides I ever had! Loved it!!
Completed the refresh of an older Warn XD. The final update was to replace the solenoid based 3 pin contactor pack with a new solid state 5 pin model. The addition improves usage under wet conditions, reliability, and allows for wireless use.
They just ride so good and are much better/easier in snow than the TJ. I might lift it, put some MT tires on it and take it back from her.
I changed the plugs and cleaned/ painted the gas tank skid on the WJ this morning by 7:30am. Damn heater hose bracket that had to be removed for the coil rail, threw me off for a minute.

Looks great as usual!
p.s. How much would you charge to do a refresh on an older WJ?
My degenerative disc disease is making simple things very painful.
Completed the DIY alignment after spending much of the summer replacing the suspension, taking measurements, wire-wheeling, sanding, and prepping/painting the frame & underside. This forum has been such an amazing resource for me. So much so that I moved an old computer out to the garage specifically to reference this site on a larger screen while wrenching.

Like I said, wish you were closer. I'd be happy to help out, without charge!

Thanks for posting the pic. I have been looking at the different ways folks have been chopping and angling the ends of their stock bumpers.
I just replaced the blower motor resistor and my fan speed is still messed up. Anybody know how to check to see if the resistor is good or not? Also what else should I look at with this problem?

Soooooo clean...I like it....have to agree there is a wealth of knowledge on here, and great people. ( Most Jeep people are great people though )
Careful. I am jacked up on Mt Dew and will get all spider monkey on you.
New headlights, new door skins, new center console, new seats (not pictured), new shifter knob…most of it off a wrecked TJ I was the first one to find at the junkyard yesterday.
Speaking of which, is the 6 speed manual better than the nv3550?

Well, I need to start working on my LJ soon... I put it off again today - it was raining on and off and I found other things that needed attention. So my only accomplishment was going by the shop and getting them to schedule more time for me next week. Shocks are on order, Big Brake kit is on order... At least this will turn lemons into lemonade. Hopefully will get the last of the work done in one more shop trip.
