Took the wife on a sunset drive in the mountains. Need to work on keeping my fat fingers off the lense.
What did you do WITH your TJ today?

My favorite way to grill trout is gut them, wrap in aluminum foil with a little olive oil, salt, seasoning of your choice. Grill about 4 minutes each side over medium heat. Easy!

Heading to Virginia Beach in a few weeks. Taking recommendations for anything close to investigate. Any good trails/restaurants/landmarks?
Something less touristy

Craned a motor out of the shed.
Noticed the rope was rubbing on the stinger gusset, so I spaced it off with a 2x4 "fairlead." Clamped with screws through the hole in the gusset.
Since I had the crane rigged up I retrieved a big wood round that I've been putting off lugging up the hill.

That's redneck as hell, and I'm here for it!
I love it !
This may be THE thread....let’s keep this goin’....
I mean we are all about doing stuff to them, we have that figured out.....But I think a lot of us are, or want to be men of action.
Now I need to find the pic pulling a dormer off a house with mine.
Got to watch my 17 year old son learn to drive a standard today. His generation thinks that a standard is an anti-theft device.
I like to watch my Jeep on the road -
I asked my son who was behind me once - “hows it look?” With my 12.5” tires
He said ,”like moms friend “ referring to someone with a big rear end we know
I think you'd be surprised by how many Gen Z kids can drive stick. Obviously not as many as other generations, but for an era where automatic is standard there's a few. I know two or three that have had one as their daily since high school. I learned how forever ago, just haven't had the chance to drive stick since. Not great at it but if I absolutely had to I'd be able to.

There’s definitely more than you’d expect. At my school, I’ve randomly met probably 5 people who drive stick, so I’m assuming there are quite a bit more too that I haven’t met. I never thought there would be that many my age who drive it, but apparently it is the case
Edit - of those that ive met who drive stick, none of them enjoy it/do it out of choice. They do it because it’s just the car that they have, or because their parents want them to drive it to keep them less distracted from the phone. I don’t understand that, I find it so much more enjoyable to drive stick. Granted though, I have a tj which is a bit more fun to drive than their sedans.
After a mother's day brunch, wifey wanted to go poke around on National Forest land. There are cliff dwelling ruins we saw several months back that are about a half mile off the trail.
We took a hike and saw some cool old ruins, and found several worked pieces of quartz and some neat pottery pieces. After looking at them, we put them back.
This pic was taken from the cliff dwellings, looking back at Double Tough.
It was a fun couple of hours, enabled by the Jeep!

Yesterday we did a little driver training in an empty parking lot. He’s doing pretty well with the manual for a 10 year old.
I love this! My boy is a couple of months from getting his permit and the keys to the XJ. Driving around with him on backroads and parking lots for the past 2 years has been a very rewarding experience for me.
That’s awesome. All four of my kids were behind the wheel of my rig at 12 or 13. Off-road and doing light wheelin’. It really helped when they were old enough to get their respective licenses as they already knew how to operate a vehicle with confidence.
Good on ya, mates!
Figured out where the popping was coming from tonight. Opened the rear pumpkin up to find the spider gear shaft snapped in half and the carrier holes wallowed out to about twice the length of the shaft width.
Would you adopt me? I want to drive it too.
Just drove it--best vehicle I've ever owned, and I've had a lot for sure!
Took TFB into the Huron National Forest Sunday. Forgot to roll up my window when going through a mud hole
and discovered that I need new bal joints

My wife is in this generation. She learned out of desire (my LJ is the only manual vehicle she has been around). She really wanted me to get a different Jeep but I told her she will have to learn to drive this one. With a little training (and a lot of complaining that I didn't teach her enough) she finally went out and practiced and enjoys driving it.
