What did you do to your TJ today?

[sab]

New wiper blades today. Bosch evolutions. Not many good options in the 13" range it seems.

You're not looking in the right place:

Yeah, you have to pay shipping, but even with shipping, I rarely find wiper blades cheaper, and their selection is mind-boggling.

I get most my parts from Rockauto and got the set for the Jeep and my truck from there. I usually run Trico silicone ceramic/fancy ones on my truck and was hoping for similar. Lots of 17" options. But the Bosch ones seem perfectly fine.

You're right that Trico doesn't make a silicone ceramic for the front, but we'll have to agree to disagree that there are "Not many good options in the 13" range it seems." I count 31 different options for front blades. It's literally the Baskin-Robbins of wiper selection! Then again, I remember going in there with picky friends who didn't like any of the 31 choices. Me, I was happy with most of them. In my mind, it's hard to screw up ice cream, but I've seen it done. I mean, Ketchup-flavored ice cream?

And when it comes to wipers, I usually buy the simplest, cheapest ones because the Texas sun and lack of rain usually means I get to use them about two times before I have to replace them...

{Disclaimer - I'm just bustin' your chops. It does suck if you've had good luck with a certain blade and Trico just doesn't make that blade in a 13"}

My ice cream is Vanilla or Chocolate. My wiper blades are as cheap as they come.

For the last 5+ years, my ice cream is air, and I LOVE ice cream. Have I ever said getting old sucks? What I'd give for my 30 year-old body once again!

 

[PG.]

Drove it out the garage for the first time since October.

Why did you put it in timeout?

 

[PG.]

Track bar hitting diff cover was the problem. Just like when my kids were little if someone is hitting they get sent to their room.

Not sure, what would you give? How about an hour a day in the gym with a trainer? You could get in that direction

Both my truck and Jeep sit baking in the coastal SC sun so I'm with you there that wipers don't last long because of that.

Spent $8 for the last set on the truck and they lasted a whole year! I'll be pissed if the set I spent $24 lasts the same time.

Saving that for the future. Thanks for that

Replaced the leaking power steering pump hoses. Now there's less of a mess in my driveway (ignoring the rear main seal leak).

Been a slow few weeks of doing nothing but driving it.

Has begun to creak and groan more so I think the suspension is finally due for an upgrade.

Been window shopping and trying to find complete kits as oposed to just springs and shocks seems a pain here in Aus.
https://ruggedusaimports.com.au/pro...wrangler-tj-03-06?_pos=2&_sid=81e9b0d09&_ss=r is leading the way, any reason I shouldn't go with this? thinking I'll switch to 33" tyres max but even then not decided if I need that big or not.

Gearbox (42RE) is also starting to flare a bit going into 3rd so crying about potential rebuild.

3,250 Australian Dollar =
2,265.58 US Dollar

is leading the way, any reason I shouldn't go with this?

The price.

Welcome to Australia! nothing will be as cheap as you guys can get it unless I got just a spring/shock combo then the price comes down but I imagine a decent lift kit needs more than just that.

Sad reality of being ass end of the world.

While I’m sure spending time in a gym could do me some good, it won’t do anything to allow me to eat ice cream again, unfortunately.
