What did you do to your TJ today? - Page 691

ALL I have to say is Banks torque tube headers, high flow cat and flowmaster 40 series muffler. I am in Washington for 2 months but will take a vid clip so everyone knows the fury of this set up. Sounds like a v8, not kinda or anything like that. It is qiet inside and mellow but rumbles outside.

Wow. It's been awhile. After the initial purchases (rack, soft top) and common fixes (water pump, radiator, exhaust manifold), I've just been driving this TJ. I changed the oil a couple weeks ago and rotated the tires today. I also wire brushed and sprayed the rear drums flat black. I went through a year and a half stretch where it seemed major maintenance and repair was needed on my 4 vehicles at the time after time, but the last 6 months or so have just been driving and oil changes. I inspected the front brakes and it looks like there is half the pad left. The PO must have had the rotors changed when she last had them done because they look good (little lip, no pulsing). I have 136K and it is good to know there is no timing belt to be done. Same with my wife's 325i. Things are good vehicle-wise right now. Might change when the early teens reach driving age.

Installed a Cobra 19 Ultra III CB Radio. Bought it at Walmart for $37 after tax. Looking for a 3' antenna to put on my spare tire carrier now.

Tight squeeze but enough space for the passenger seat to fold forwards.

Took no time at all to install.

Bought a pair of rough country quick disconnects but they are too long. Going to have to take them back or mod them

Also picked up and istalled my Oh my god handles on to the roll bar

Seafoamed the Jeep, but got no smoke show.

Dropped the jeep off at TnTcustoms this morning so they can install my new axles and long arm kit with 4" ome springs. If anyone is interested in my TnT shortarm kit with 4.5 RE springs PM me.

Rotated the tires and replaced front drive shat U-joints and a constant velocity joint as well. Drives like a champ.

And no more angry sparrows.

Well, today I set out to take my family on a ride in my new (new to me) rubicon.... Only to realize that the previous owner had removed the rear seat belt lowers

......
Side note; anyone have any they would like to part with?????

Are you sure that they are not just tucked under the seat and or carpet? The seat does fold towards the front incase you didn't know.

Replaced my old bent up stock tie rod with a RE heavy duty one and tomorrow I will be installing 2 new rear OME shocks and finish with an alignment up front.

I took the hard top off. Time for some soft top action woo hoo!
