    The Saga Continues…

    I’m currently taxing to take off on a flight to the North East. Never been. This will be a short post, but long story short - I was talking to this guy before I bought my black Jeep in Houston. After my axle deal fell through, I’ve been thinking about what I want to do with that jeep. That’s...

    Bought Another LJR Because I Have Poor Impulse Control (Again) - 37's on Stock Axles

    I didn’t plan on selling the red LJR. Honestly, I was just wrestling with the idea of redoing half my build and posted on Facebook looking for some guidance. I wasn’t prepared for the flood of people wanting to buy it. I had a number in mind, the “if someone offers this, it makes sense to start...

    Down the rabbit hole (not the transmission after all)

    Borrowed my buddies truck and got the jeep back to my house. Will drive on/off the trailer, seems to be running fine. Can’t pinpoint where the fluid came from under the jeep, other than I know it’s the transmission somewhere. It looks like where it mates to the transfer case? It’s hard to see...

    Utah Great Week in Moab, until right now - new transmission time

    We had a great family trip to Moab with some light wheeling here and there. Overall an epic spring break trip that the kids will remember. The LJ did great, until about 15 minutes ago. Went to go see some friends in Grand Junction last night, and on the way back to Moab (and hopefully Pagosa) I...

    Blower and Radio not working

    I just replaced my heater core following the guide on the forum. All went well, except my radio, blower, and 12v outlets aren’t working now. I checked the fuses, relay, and various connections. It seems like there’s a common ground that isn’t connected somewhere. I also found this random wire...

    Looking for a clean frame to swap into a 6 Cylinder TJ. I'm in Pagosa Springs, CO - not opposed to having one shipped either, but local would obviously be a plus. Thanks.

    2004 Fuel Tank Question

    I’m in the process of removing a 2.5” body lift from the PO. Went to replace the fuel filler hose and discovered this was completely cracked off. I don’t even know what this piece is called. I’m afraid I might not be able to replace it without sourcing a whole tank.

    Bought Another LJ 2004 Patriot Blue

    Well. I deleted Facebook and all of sudden, I hadn’t bought a Jeep in almost 6 months. Finally have my Red LJ to where it’s functional and a good place to enjoy for a while. Very content. My Father in Law (Not to be confused with my wife’s step dad who just bought my yellow LJ) decides he...

    San Juan Mountains - July 2023

    Didn't take too many photos while we are out and about, but snagged a few in the evening and after the campfire that I really liked and thought I'd share. The Northern Lights came out while we were up above timberline. Hadn't ever seen those before. That was pretty rad. And anyone...

    Intermittent Soft Brakes after Axle Swap

    I initially posted this thread in association with what I assumed was vacuum leak. Was actually just a slightly stuck cable on the TB. I recently finished a JK Axle swap and am having very intermittent issues with my brake pedal going soft and to the floor. Can pump the brakes back up and...

    Wheel and Tire Recommendations for JK Axles

    Todays the first day I’ve been up and back to feeling like normal. Freaking nasty virus. While I was down, I made some decisions about my build. My good deal streak with TJ's has come to an end. It's time for me to pay to play like everyone else. I purchased a set of built JK 44’s from a...

    Coilover issues: need advice on how to proceed

    I recently purchased an LJR that had been abandoned and garaged for 10 years. I've gone through and replaced most things, but I don't know where to begin with the coilovers. When I first test drove it, they didn't make a sound. The creaking and groaning has gradually gotten worse. The springs...

    2006 Flame Red LJR

    Picked up this LJR last night. Had to drive 12 hrs, but wound up being a killer deal IMO. It does need some love, P.O. never drove it. It was built by a guy named Charley Crossley, or “Crazy Charely” that passed away a number of years ago. His friend took possession and it’s basically been in...

    Need Some Advice On Potential Built 2003 Rubicon Purchase

    I've been mourning the sale of my LJR these last two weeks. I've been anxious to really get into my '03 TJ and get it cleaned up, but the weather hasn't been cooperating. I may be potentially trading it for similar one, but a manual. During these few weeks of driving it though, I've come to the...

    What am I looking at here? Some sort of onboard air system

    I sold my LJR yesterday against my better judgement. We had a large unexpected life expense… Picked up a 2003 Rubicon to fiddle with. It has some sort of on board air compressor system that I have no knowledge about. Anyone know what I’m looking at? Says Ester Oil on it, but can’t seem to...
