What did you do to your TJ today?

Space Naught · Mar 26, 2025

Welp, We had a pretty hefty hail storm last night. I did not have anywhere to store my jeep since the garage was full of other cars, so it got to sit out and experience natures danger balls.

Ive got a few new dents in the hood, but everything else is unharmed. Guess its time to do the ole louvers to cover the nasty dents, or look around for a new hood... I don't want the jeep to look like the rocky mountains with its peaks and low spots from the angry ice.

I try to do this, but sometimes the lights around here will be red for too damn long, then a short green and the dude at the front is too busy picking their nose with their phone to realize they need to get moving.

Ive shut my jeep off on occasion due to how shiet the traffic can get around here.

I could never even think about turning the engine off when it's 115+ and full blazing sun. I'd cook before the traffic light turned green.

I changed my spark plugs. Looks like they were original, so at 67,000 miles It finally got a new set. Made a big difference, much smoother.

Ordered my Safe T Caps and gave a deposit for install first week of April. We found more rot at the rear control arm mounts, so now the price has jumped to 2500.

Welp Got alot of stuff from Amazon,Usp motorsports&rockauto, Got me some ATF for the ole LJ,Mopar RMS,oil pan gasket,trans. Oil pan&lubelocker gasket Autometer guage oh and some new struts for the rear glass

Some Rowe 9008,Works great on the trusty Diesel Gladiator,Shifts were better with this stuff so I'll try it on my Lj

Seems to match up decently to the stock cluster

,Peep the mini photobomb? Photobomb

Anyways here's some pics of the me getting the bung in

used a Christmas tree bit and reamed the rest of it with my trusty milwaukee die grinder

Some decent fit up

Like I said, I’m no expert, but low oil pressure always makes me a little nervous. If it’s around 40 while driving, it’s probably nothing to worry about. I’d just keep an eye on it if it were me.

My friend had a TJ getting some work done at his shop. 290k miles. Dash gauge read around 40-20 psi. He put a real oil pressure gauge on it and it had 5 psi

It still ran great lol

You ain't too wrong on that one.....hell I might bash this pan in someday out In the rocks again, I'd hate to wreck a pan that I spent 80 bucks on for powdercoat......
Plus I can't find no one to do the job so yeah rattle can it is since I can't find no one that can do the job before the weekend which is when I plan on doing my fluid change!

I replaced my previous cheap single-DIN Android head unit that died with a new cheap Android head unit.

pfft, to be fair, before the jeep I had a 99 Miata with no AC, got used to boiling a bit before the sweet breeze of air.

Finished up my adapter plate to make a 03-04 TJ with ax15 swap take an ax15 inner boot. I cut a leather gasket out under the plate so hopefully it keeps the hot air out

Don't mind the hardware, it's uh, temporary

hopefully this is a good solution, the only thing I dont like is despite positioning it in the best spot I could find, the rubber boot makes second feel mushy because of the way the boot moves. But I didn't drill any holes in the Jeep so if I don't like it I could try something else.

This last picture is the unobtainable? gasket for an 03-04 jeep. If anybody does know where to buy this, send me a link lol

TheBoogieman · Mar 27, 2025

Got a free, almost unused (used once) RC winch. I like free stuff.

John Cooper · Mar 27, 2025

Got the gas tank ready to go back in. Either tomorrow night or Saturday morning BB will be back amongst the living!!!!!

KimsJeep · Mar 27, 2025

I put my Jeep in the back yard so hubby could put in the garage for the oil/ oil sending unit change. Then I decided to just let hubby do it for me. LOL I am feeling lazy.

@TheBoogieman Yeah I saw that before but the outer plastic on mine is cracked too which he used to install that. Plus there's still a big hole when you use the mustang boot.
