05 Flame Red TJ Build

[FarFire70]

Everything works on my Jeep right now. I have reached Jeep Nirvana. My passenger reverse light works! My tailgate license plate light works! All my speakers work! I don’t have any codes! My steering is good! Seat heaters work! Seat belts retract! Steering wheel is centered!! I don’t have a broken windshield! My doors open and shut normally! It’s crazy!!!

Nice! That has to be a great feeling!

Congrats on the hard work paying off. Nothing like that 'finished' feeling!

You done fucked up now A' ARon

That is one of my favorite reels. I could watch it several times in a row and still be laughing!

Got two codes today. P0456 and P0499. I did have the evap canister removed yesterday to fix the R lights, so I cleared them and I bet they’ll stay off.

You know very well they don't stay off. They just take a break between sightings.

Boy, I really need to catch up on your build thread. I assume you went to Moab and put it on its lid, again?

Where have you been? Under a rock?

Dukes of Hazard!!! One of my favorite TV shows ever right alongside Chips!

They were filming Chips in our office when I was there, met them both and watched them do some filming as I stood behind the camera. Even got my 1974 CJ-5 in the "Super bike" episode.

Man, that’s RAD! Very cool. So interesting. Good to see you pop your head in.

Thanks, just checking on you to see how things are going after the flop.

The Jeep is fixed and driving better than ever. It’s retiring, sort of. A new chapter is coming. It’s a gorgeous rig (best color like yours) and is such a joy to drive.

Worse would be a TJ with a LS swapped in it...

Let's see the new one!!!!

This build will come to a close soon. It’s an awesome rig and I love driving it. The last thing I’m going to do to it is put a midarm on it, but that will be the end unless I get renewed interest in wheelin’ it. The midarm will be done in a separate thread. For now my wife and I have decided to let her wheel it while it will be my DD.

 

[JMT]

This is the new project. Some of you have seen it before. It will be my trail rig. When I get ready I’ll start a separate build thread. Right now I’m working on it.
