The only EV I could maybe use is a side by side. We have a gas one now and it’s loud.

Geez I never even thought about an OEM replacement! Great idea. CarParts has copies for $72; but if you got a Mopar for $200 that’s awesome. I might go that route to replace my rusty no-name from the PO. I got all 4 flares back on today for the first time in over a year. I’m gonna get this...

It’s really hard to find a good service center … most of them seem to be more likely to break your vehicle worse than it was when it came in than fix it. And charge you a fortune for their screwups.

You did a good job with all that you replaced or checked already. When you say “left side as I’m facing the radiator” do you mean passenger side? One thing that comes to mind since it was sitting for so long is to pull the whole air intake out and make sure nothing made a little nest in there...

That’s about $45k in today’s dollars!

Jeeps were always on the pricey side. My ‘05 Rubicon’s window sticker says it was $27k new

He’s real!! Congrats and welcome!

I’ll have to try my luck with paint at some point soon here. I’m doing patch panels and new fenders. I’d love a good “diy sprayer job” thread for paint rookies!

“I bought a bone stock, rust free TJ … I’ll post pics soon” Is the WTJF equivalent of “Hot singles in your town want to meet you! Click for photos!” I know damn well there are no hot singles in my town, and yet …

“Oops I bought a low mile rust free TJ!” 🤷 😂 congrats! I’d say you did well! 148k is a great mileage; firmly middle-aged with lots left to give. You should still take it golfing. Welcome!

This is a great idea … but I like my Jeep and my truck too much to relegate either to winter duty, so I guess I need another vehicle! 😬

Those of you on the welding thread may know I picked up a welder to learn body work for the TJ, and started practicing on my son’s basketball hoop. Well I finished that project and it ain’t pretty but boy is it better than the original! I backed up the backboard with 3/4” PT plywood, Gorilla...

might as well lease at that rate, as long as they’re just throwing money away. It is a sad state of affairs. But as long as parts stay available to keep older vehicles on the road we should be ok. It’s all this new computerized stuff that makes me worried. It’s untested, it’s fragile and it...

So freaking CLEAN!! 🤤

Finished the drivers side seat riser and installed a replacement battery tiedown. I love the raised seats! It’s the way it should have been.

My wife brought her Subaru to the dealer for an inspection and some other maintenance. They reset the ECU and immediately when she got it home it started acting funny. Window switch doesn’t work. Clicking when switching ignition on. Digital gauges not holding the ones she selected, etc. seemed...

To the OP: for pure economics, you can’t pay someone else to fix that kind of rust (which is undoubtedly present in more areas) for cheaper than replacing tub, frame, or the whole Jeep with a rust free TJ. But economics aren’t the point for many/most of us. If you want an excuse to buy new...

Alright - for your amusement, I present to you, my very first weld! Or first since shop class anyway. It’s my son’s basketball hoop; the brace broke at the factory weld. What a perfect test subject. Only thing is I don’t know how thick or what kind of steel it is so I went with low voltage and...

Installed my passenger side Buchanan Precision Machine 1 1/2” seat risers. They’re high quality and I love the result! The drivers side torx bolt is stuck so I’m waiting on an impact torx t50 bit to get that sucker out and get the drivers side done. Should be a nice improvement!

I guess I over tightened this POS battery tie down. It sucked at its job anyway! Time for something better.
