What did you do to your TJ today?

[TheBoogieman]

I do have a 2 week holiday starting the first day of Feb…. Going to do a roughly 2800 mile (4500km) round-trip to the South Island.
The scenery down there is magnificent with plenty of opportunities to eat and post pics on here.
So hopefully that will redeem myself

I marked those dates down on my new calendar.

58% …. Why didn’t they just rounded up to 60% !! Lol
Will you make some sort of bracket to hold your wheel in place?

I don't know yet, I will probably use a ratchet strap for now. Still not sure if I like this or prefer it on the back. I need to figure out how to stop all the sockets from rolling around, the clearance between drawers is so tight I can't fit any kind of foam in there, but somehow they get extremely unorganized... Haven't lost the 10mm yet!

With such a cavalier attitude, it's only a matter of time. You need to lock that up in your gun safe.

So true…. I like to give somebody a socket set and just take the thing out of it so that they remember the struggle is real.

If the profile is to be believed, he's only 19, so understandable yet unfortunate. The hard lessons of life have yet to dull his edge.

Do you guys do a lot of body or trim work or something because that's like the only time I use a 10. 10 is too small for almost all of the actually interesting stuff like suspension and engine

Calm down guys, I haven't even used the socket set yet I'm sure it will disappear in the next couple weeks

In case it was lost in translation, my post was purely tongue-in-cheek. I have tons of respect for anyone, regardless of age, who enjoys working on vehicles. We are a dying breed. I was simply busting chops, as they say. Carry on.

Wait til ya get kids- if you get boys, you wont have a full set of anything for years-

I used to leave the house in the morning and wondered what it was going to cost me to go to work that day

I suspect that is one of the reasons why my old man gave each of his sons a starter set of mechanics tools at a very young age. However, we did still use his tools, too. We were pretty respectful, though. I can't specifically remember any tools being lost/misplaced over the years, although I'm sure it happened. He's long gone, but anytime I'm back visiting mom, his tools are all still there, and I use them at every visit to repair what's been waiting until one of her sons comes home for a visit (all of us live out of state).

My son talked me out of a canoe, a kayak, a pick-up truck & a college education so fast my head was spinning. He already knows he’s getting my Jeep. It will be part of my estate.

I believe his age in his profile. Some of us are honest.
p.s. Don't tell Trump my visa expired in 1923.

I got yelled at for working on my car growing up, even if I was doing it at someone else's house

Sometimes I feel like an old man sometimes I still feel like a young guy it depends what we're talking about and who I'm talking to
