I have to be in California this weekend, but I always will try when a ride comes up that I can do.

I got tired of ruined factory clear coat after years in the Phoenix sun and removed some diamond plate that was covering old damage. My TJ looks new again!

I guess I'm now a long distance veteran. 5 cross country trips in my 97 Sport. Everything here is good. Keep your ventilation on recirculation, not open. It makes a lot less wind noise.

I will join one of these rides soon. I have every other Friday off, but not this one.

I think I need to tie it to this thread. "Columbus Rescue TJ Build" or similar. It will take some time to get started. Sandstone needs a new owner first, probably from one of those younger generations that has to drive an automatic.

On the last mile or so I smelled fuel. Checked today and there is a fuel leak near the tank, but only when the key is on. I'll be starting the build by dropping the tank. At least it was kind enough to wait that long. After all, it was a jeep stranded with Penn State markings in a parking...

I am considering starting a build thread financed by selling my S10 ZR2 "Sandstone" featured in this thread from May 2021 https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/wow-i-really-need-another-tj.47542/ It's all repaired, lifted, and V8 swapped. It does pretty well in the desert, but not a TJ, and I...

I didn't keep track of mileage, but it seemed consistent with past experience. The O'Reilly's ECM/PCM has a speed limiter as 90 mph, but I cruised as closed to 80 as hills would allow. My old ECM has no speed limiter and a performance tune from a PO. I didn't switch it back as suggested...

Hi guys, I just wanted to say thank you for all the help! I read all of the replies from those that were there with me. I don't think many forums do real time in-the-field support, but this one does! The pictures and videos would have continued for at least two more hours if I hadn't found...

Made it to Mesa, AZ at 11:30 pm after a 17 hour drive. Few issues to report. I'll post tomorrow. Thanks and goodnight!

First thing in the morning... got a hotel for whats left of tonight.

It was probably doing this all across Indiana. I didn't notice until it started to get dark enough. So if you hear of some crazy guy in a jeep flashing everyone to get out of his way. That was me! I pulled the fuse to stop it, but I still hear the relay trying to keep them going...

This TJ came with factory fog lites, but those are aftermarket. I installed them using the existing wiring but used a relay to actually power them directly from the battery via fuse. The relay was turning off and on. The pattern was not as regular as it appears. Turning the lites on for...

I made it Joplin, MO. Jeep's running great, but I noticed something weird after passing by Indy. The fog lites were flashing on their own, not switched on at all.

Thanks for the offer, but I will bring fuses and pick up a coil from O'Reillys, and try to make it back.
