What did you do to your TJ today?

[DougyintheBushies]

I was thinking everyone who drove a vehicle in that pic needs to be taught how to center between the lines.... Maybe a double lesson course.

Hey bro it’s dark outside.

 

[John Cooper]

Hey bro it’s dark outside.

For sure it was...... between 6:15 and 6:30am.

And in East Lake!!!! Ain't nobody got time to look at lines when parking

I also installed a set of Kentrol hood hinges. These eliminate all hood flutter.

Hinges or latches?

Check in with @Claytone and he'll set you up with what you need.

Latches

I am trying out this amsoil Off-road grease for the first time. Looks like good stuff but has anyone used it for there Johnny joints? Also my bfgoodrich k02s are nearly bald after approximately 25k miles. They are oe size for my 06 rubicon. Is this normal?

Met a new friend this morning!!! @DougyintheBushies I reached out to him about some decals for me.

Stopped by his place of business on my way to work and we probably chatted for 25 minutes. Always a pleasure to meet Jeep freaks.

Parked next to his Red TJ.

I’m more partial to altitude adjustments to help with attitude adjustments

Don't suppose these are locking as well, eh?

 

[mjonesjr84]

They are not.

They are not. I know Tuffy makes a good lock.

Grabbed some centramatic balancers off marketplace to see if they improve the town fair balance, and everything that is said about them on here is correct. Smooth up to 80.

2WD/4WD vs AWD, or just the conditions

Edit: for some reason this was the latest post when I loaded the page, my bad for bumping an older post that was already responded to lol

I’m betting it’s this difference between all-time AWD and the Jeep being part-time. The BFG AT KOs are fantastic in snow—I spent a season living in Eagle county in CO and never got stuck with the 33x10.5” and the snow was unnervingly plentiful.

I’d also say that that snow vs. wet frozen slush, or even a glean of icy surface, a TJ is going to want to fishtail quickly due to the short wheelbase. My LJ is even quick to slide out.

If traction is questionable at all, I’m in 4H, even heavy rain sometimes. I’d rather eat the MPG hit than pull my LJ from a ditch, or worse, the body shop.

If you are sitting in snow and slipping, or there’s any snow on the ground, just pull it into 4H and keep it there. Don’t be afraid of it even if you turn on wet pavement. Hear or feel any binding, slip it into 2H, make your right radius very slowly with no momentum, then pop back into 4H to continue owning winter.

I plan to install my clear turn signal and side markers with the orange bulbs that I ordered and received, today. So, I guess this is a before picture.

Wait, what? I run Super Swampers and best balance i get is with balance beads. Isn’t bad at all once the flat spot works itself out. But what are this thing you speak of. I’ve only seen on big rigs

 

[Bullitt TJ]

I just picked up a fairly nice CJ tailgate to do the conversion and ditch the hideous TJ unit.

I love the look of your rig. Sweet stance

It’s not as low as that pic makes it look ..cage hits my garage beam so I have to ratchet strap it down …but it’s still plenty low!

I finally had the lower control arms installed on Thursday that I purchased from @freedom_in_4low. The mechanic said my front axle was way out of whack because of my bent passenger lower control arm. It's way better on the road now I had no idea . Today I changed the oil and filter and installed a new thermostat and housing. I'll see if that gets rid of my p0128 code.

I am completely flabbergasted and frustrated... I changed the door handles again because the ones from TRQ turned out to be shit and in the process I have lost a door crank handle!

I have looked in the Jeep - under the seats, between the seats and the console, etc. I have looked on my work table. I have moved everything out from under the work table to look there. I have looked in my tool drawers. I have shaken the door to see if it has a new rattle. I have taken the Jeep out of the garage and looked on the floor. How in the hell could I lose a crank handle? So annoying.

Thought about helping one of the truckers do some deliveries…. Anyone any idea what the tow capacity would be for a TJ …. Braked

Almost got myself in quite a predicament.

Took the kid and dog up into the hills by home to get into the snow. While coming up the main forest road, there was some tree branches down in the road. I didn't think much of them until my front tire hit one that was buried and kicked it up. Luckily I was going slow and stopped as soon as I heard it. The front tire was still on one end and the other end had flipped up and gone through an arch in a soft brake line. The limb was against my ujoint at the pinion, a soft brake line, and the gas tank, right at the top edge of the skid. All while being pinned in place by the driver's front tire. Of course I didn't have any type of saw or anything to cut it with. I was able to ease back off a few inches at a time while hopping out to make sure it wasn't going to catch the brake line. No pictures of this as it all happened in about a minute, but a ripped brake line or punctured gas tank could've been a real damper on a 30 minute trip into the snow!

I hate going over branches / dead limbs just for this reason.
