What did you do to your TJ today?

When I was in the Army (71-74), stationed at Fort Bliss, El Paso, Texas I was put in a Juarez, Mexican jail overnight for spitting in an open sewer running in the road after coming out of a bar late at night. It was a weekend so no Army issues.. The policeman grabbed me by the back of my belt. I said "what did I do all I did was spit in the open sewer drain?". He said, in good English, " if you are spitting you must be vomiting, if vomiting you must be drunk and if you are drunk you are drunk and disorderly come with me sinor (sp?). Woke up in the morning and was sent on my way. Glad I was in the Army or I think it might of been expensive with a fine. But I wonder today if he was just keeping me from getting into any kind of trouble. Guess today you would get beat up and robbed by locals.

Installed a KENWOOD Excelon single DIN head unit, 4” CDT audio coaxials and 6.5” Sony ES coaxials as a first phase sound upgrade. Phase 2 I’ll be replacing the front coaxials with 3 way components running fully active with an Audison DSP, and installing a single 10” woofer.
I actually miss the look of the original 1.5 DIN cassette deck. I bagged it and I’m saving it. I may end up reinstalling, as the DSP amp can have direct connection to it from a device.
Also replaced the headlights with some LED summit lights. They look factory-ish and got really good reviews. We’ll try them out tonight.

I haven't found a single thing that fits in that little cubby below the radio, I have the same insert
Never did see a donkey show but at one bar there was a free live sex show, if the patrons were drinking heavy and spending money, where if you wanted you could partake in some shenanigans with the girl as long as everybody could watch. Did see some drunk guy partake at the time. It was pitiful... he got head and blew his load in a matter of seconds. The crowd roared...
A CD case fits which I think it is designed for.

Saw some crazy stuff in Mexico City. It was all girls.
You could go in the back and pay for whatever you wanted.

Will do. I plan on adjusting the aim this weekend in our shop.
My 31x10.5r15 Dextero dat1's were alright
But these nexens are mo betta
I also like the pattern on the sidewall and where it says "Nexen" kinda cool to me
View attachment 585176
Another selling point for me apart from having them the same day is the 112Mph speed rating,Weight and welp the sidewall pattern reminds me alot of the Wildpeaks that come on the JLs/JTswhich I like

I really need to step up my build, its been basically the same thing for a year now, but the tires just wont wear down……. Ive out 15k miles on it and they still look brand new.
Idk how truly awful 31’s would be on 3.07 gearing and a 32RH since all I have found is the 5 speed and people saying 5th is useless.
Might just go to 31’s and keep my 235s on standby incase I hate the slugmobile. Nexens do look pretty good, and fairly prices for a set of 5 (still need a 5th D window 15x8 steelie to replace the OEM spare…)
Yes removed the nut at the bottom and 2 different types of penetrating oil... soaked it overnight even...but it wont even budge. Looked on Utube tried the trolley jack ,and rubber mallet options too.(and I'd hate to pay somebody to do it for me) tell you what though when they do come off they wont go back on with grease, grease and more grease lol
Put a floor jack with a 2X4 across the bottom of the door. Gently jack up on the door. The body may start to rise but keep going slowly. The door should pop off!!
Don't rise more than an inch or so unless someone is keeping the door from falling over when it comes loose. The door just sitting on a jack while the Jeep drops is hard to catch.
Massive air attack today before wind picks up again. DC10 tanker with fire retardant. Will not get the slimline bearings and pressed on the ARB until Monday. Just cleaned things up today and watched tanker fly by, at least 10 runs. Brentwood near Palisades and Encino in the valley threatened. I keep a very close I on the dry Verdugo hills near my resides. Have not slept much.
Went fishing today-
Jeep pic was formerly Cooley’s Grocery, bait and tackle. Legendary as the only store en route to the dam. They cleaned up for decades, especially when camping was allowed years back.
Now you hardcore anglers will realize something is odd about this fish- he has the body of a smallmouth bass but not the coloration.
It is a MeanMouth Bass. A rare, naturally occurring hybrid of a smallmouth and a spotted bass.
Very indicative of this fishery being so diverse.
The guy holding it is Carl. He is a great guy. He just gave me a small boat.

Hell yeah thats the way to do it man
Yeah man,I got the 42rle and 3.73s in my Lj but the difference being that I'm tuned,shift points are changed more timing,fuel,spark etc. Some engine work done so my jeep didn't really notice the 33s but I'm still gonna do 5.13s! But now When I'm cruising going 80 and mash it....welp my jeep kinda just stays there and slowly creeps up to 90 in some seconds.My rpms dont just ramp up like before (on 33s) but driving around town my jeep still chirps the tires sometimes when I mash it
I couldn't image how bad 33s and 3.07s are like so yeah......in that case stick with the 31s for your sake,0-60 with 33s and 3.07s may actually be In a few business days lol
I picked up this whole setup for 200 bucks brand new on Facebook Marketplace
Rough country 2.5" springs and rancho shocks (I needed some!)
I'll see how these treat me since I got 2" BDS springs upfront that seemed to have sagged? The front is sitting too low as of now and I've only had em for a few months really! Around memorial day or on memorial day is when I put em on!
The rear sits decently high even with a spare in the back !
Might knock out the front this night,but I'll see cause it's getting cold !
