I had a dream about Jeeping. Then woke up from my cube job and drove home with the top down.
Dreams do come true.

Looks good Gene- this forum will be an ally to you as a TJ owner.
New o2 sensor seems to have done the trick, no CEL no codes and as of today's drive, all sensors are ready. Gonna pass my inspection tomorrow and finally get the title in my name. It is highly satisfying to take a jeep with issues that the PO couldn't resolve and thus priced it low, and then fix those issues with next to no money or effort. I have 2 TJ's and both were acquired in this way. I won't apologize. I figure I'm saving them from an eternity of rusting out on the side of some dude's trailer.
Added a double din. Saving cleanup for tomorrow cause I'm tired

That’s why I lowered my rates on here....Just to help people.

With approved credit. I have found people that like me need to be checked out.
Started teaching my 16 yr old daughter to drive manual last night. I told her she'd be unique among her friends. She's wispy, so the clutch was challenging for her
Was that the one in Jacksonville with 33k on the clock? If so, you beat my buddy too it. Congrats and welcome.
Did some clean up work after the last wheeling trip.
I demand a step-by-step tutorial of how you detailed the undercarriage. That looks incredible! @Irun

Finally replaced my valve cover gasket. Took me about two hours.
I was told that Andy is a drug by John Cooper and to just say NO!
WOOHOO passed inspection. When I bought it I figured I would need to play the old "$100 to pass" gambit, but instead one correct O2 sensor and I'm legal again.
Replaced the unit bearings over the weekend and I swear it handles way worse now. It's like the sloppy bearings were counteracting some other alignment issue and now that the bearings have no play I'm bringing other issues to the forefront. I've never had a camber problem before so I'm going to get actual alignment #'s from Firestone (there's a jeep guy at my local shop) and see where we land.
Awwww, I’m just the dealer of merriment
I couldn't resist , know how you and John go back and forth

I replaced the unit bearings in my son's jeep last week and thought the same thing. I can feel the little nuances that I didn't feel before.

That’s because he’s a big pervert.
Well what you’re going to get into sometimes is like making one quieter...The more you hear other things.
I had a really bad set of unit bearings in one of my Rubicon’s one time and when I replaced them then I had to go back in and dial-in the other things that the unit bearings were masking.
The first thing I had to do was reset the toe. Worn unit bearings will give you an incorrect toe setting.
If you will be persistent you can get a really good level of steering- At the same time I got my 03 to the point that it started to feel like a go cart and I was like if I make this thing any better - it’s going to be worse.
