What did you do to your TJ today?

[John Cooper]

Cleaned her up a bit and went for quick drive…. Waved at a JL owner as I drove past one of the bays, 15 minutes later he pulled in behind me to talk ‘Jeep’ lol
He was originally from South Africa and owned 2 TJs….. he has since owned 2JK’s and now is lifted JL. (he wouldn’t let me take a photo of it though )View attachment 656759

Probably thought you were stalking him...........

Waved at a JL owner

That was your first mistake.

(he wouldn’t let me take a photo of it though )

JL owners are snobs.

JL owners are snobs.

He seemed like a nice bloke…just paranoid lol

Worked on moving my RV batteries to the interior compartment so they are kept warm since they are LiFePO4.

Then loaded the TJ up for a trip we leave for on Thanksgiving after lunch.

Alright boys....you can download the write-up and STL files in a zip archive located here (my domain), archive password is "WTF". Hit me up in a PM here if you have any questions or issues using the files, I'll do what I can to assist. Hopefully the info included in the documentation will cover.

Nice looking tails, @mrblaine

Looks like the link doesn't work anymore?

Man, why do other Jeep people always get pissy whenever I say I'm not turning my TJ into a rock crawler or hardcore rig?

Probably because they like spending other people's money instead of their own. Lol

Do your own thing.

Parked my tj for a week while it was raining. Time to put the hardtop on if it isn't getting driven. Not the kind of surprise i like. Little bastards!

I have to park mine at my brother's house during the week (HOA rules here). I had the same thing happen to my Jeep and car. This natural stuff (peppermint, cinnamon, and garlic oils) has worked for me to stop them. I spray it in the engine bay and anywhere I think they might chew the wiring.

I can't argue with that logic one bit.

Anyways, got the Warn all cleaned up. Added new bearings to it and apparently this motor is 6-6.4hp when they were supposed to have a 4hp? Guess the previous owner swapped it out.

Here are my mods on my 2006 LJR: WARN front bumper and winch, SONY stereo. That's it. I like it just the way it is and it has never left me stranded. It's your Jeep — do what you like!!

I leave the windows out all the time. I was playing with fire,all the oak trees and acorns to feed the damn rodents. I'll look into that spray for engine compartments for sure

I need to get some of that for the TJ and RV.

There is a guy outside of Lexington, KY that rebuilds those. I know he drives all over the eastern half of the US getting them. He's a great guy and a personal friend.

Thinking about getting a set, let me know how you like em

I'd say no but don't know for sure. If you look him up on Facebook, his name is Bill Fox. This is his profile.

Drove Ruby to work today. On my test drive Saturday thought everything seemed fine, but I am thinking there is a vibration now. Since the front driveshaft was balanced I’ll get the rear balanced.

I suspect once the rear driveshaft is out i can go 65-70 in 4WD high with just the front driveshaft in? It’s a LJR so there isn’t a slip yoke in the rear so everything is sealed up.

I'm almost there with the wiring for my aux battery. There is only one wire where I can't find a suitable one to connect to:

That's the thin, blue wire in the image. It's supposed to go to a positive wire controlled by the cars ignition. I thought easy, just grab it from the cigarette lighter. But the positive wire to the cigarette lighter is always on; it appears to be the negative wire that gets disconnected when I turn the key.
What is the best place to pick? I'm not really a sparky, so it's a challenge. maybe someone can explain it for dummies
