What did you do to your TJ today?

yeah, been told that plenty. But the one time I had to back a trailer it didn't go well. But since then I've watched a bunch of videos and I'll have an opportunity to spend a few hours of low-pressure practice before we do this. I keep telling myself that a tiny % of the population can rebuild an automatic transmission, whereas seems like every jackass in suburbia can back their boat down the ramp....no way I can't do this. Just need practice.

Remember move the wheel a little the trailer moves a little. Move the wheel a lot the trailer moves a lot!!!

Damn! That is frustrating!
Remember when counter guys were car guys too?
I actually had to explain left and right (on a car) to the data entry moron at the counter last week.
We have a few good ones at the O'Reilly and Napa. 100% of our Autozone and Advance folks are useless drones.

They're starting to remind me of Radio Shack employees...

Took a ride to keep testing my new sensors. I hate not trusting my Jeep and waiting for it to sputter, backfire and cut off again. It always happens in heavy traffic too. On a positive note, I saw a car I might trade my Jeep for IF I have to walk home again. Gotta love Southern ingenuity. I'm wondering if the homeless guy I saw the other day is living in it? :unsure: :rolleyes:

It’s easy to tell by looking. The 15 is dramatically smaller

It's pretty much the same size as all my TJs, and my friends'. I just filled it up, it was basically on E. It took every bit of 14.92 gallons. Odometer read 220, but with the wrong speedo gear I know that's going to read low. Google maps said I went 239. So ~16mpg. That last 1/4 went fast.

Also 239/220 = 1.08. 60mph * 1.08 = 64.8mph, which is pretty much what Waze had me at when I checked it.

Then I took the doors off all 3 TJ's and did what I've wanted to do since my daughter decided to buy a TJ. Which is take all 7 of us in the 3 jeeps to get Andy's. It was a silly bucket list item, but I'm not here to amaze anyone other than myself. I was a proud TJ daddy tonight.

My dad bought my 15 year old son a red TJ this past weekend. Now we have two.

It's in pretty good shape for a 23 year old jeep. The plan is to use it to help teach my son how to maintain a vehicle. He's excited about it. Also, it's very difficult to text and drive with a manual transmission.
