What did you do to your TJ today?

I BOUGHT it! Well, a few days ago. This is a 2001 with low Kms. Today My young son rode in the front seat for the first time (of any vehicle). Airbags are disabled of course.

That’s awesome congrats do you get to go topless and door less in Japan? I know when I was in Germany the Jeep guys couldn’t. How did you kiddo like the front seat

Almost wrecked it and bad. I was driving the highway and come over the hill. Its been freezing rain all day so far and as soon as i got to the top of the hill the wind caught my top and started slidding. I was completely sideways going 55mph. I was just waiting to hit a patch of no ice and roll for a mile. was able to steer out of it and get to the muddy grass. Im honestly more mad my jeep is dirty now. It was a balmy 60 degrees yesterday and i got all excited and got him all cleaned up for nothing.

ZJ Tie Rod conversion time! Also throwing in new Drag Link and Steering Stabilizer to complete the set.

Wow sounds like a lucky break...well done for keeping the rubber facing down....so no damage at all ?(apart from a clean pair of undies) lol

Well that sucks. Do you think having ac made the job that much harder? I was planning on tackling this in spring and my 2000 sport does not have ac. Oh, and I have little mechanical experience but do have access to all tools needed and a boyfriend to question and whine to. I hope it stops your leak long term!

Ditto! I have ac on my 05 and this is on my list. I just replaced the valve cover on my BMW $150 and my time vs $1200 at the shop. But man is was a total pain!! The labor was there for sure. The parts markup is what I despise

haha awesome...I remember doing a 360 on a sharp bend in a small Honda Civic when I was about 20,ended up facing the wrong way on the opposite side of the road 3ft from a very deep ditch....Gravel across the road was the culprit that time, but I remember feeling how lucky I was. The drive home after that was very cautious haha

I have the same year and model Jeep you have and also no a/c. Will be watching to see if it's any easier with our Jeeps when you tackle it this spring. :)

The build has started, so now I have a visual on how long it will be. And bonus, @Dave K. had his atlas lift delivered today! He’s planning on doing all the electrical, so thinking that might be the biggest delay, but hoping he learns real quick how to wire an entire workshop :). He’s confident so I will be also.

Framing up is always great as you get to see just how big it'll be...its come along way.

And it’s towering over the house. Lol. But it’s his dream and I reap the benefits for sure. If the weather cooperates they say it will be built in a couple weeks. Freezing rain storm today and tom. So no workers :(
