Any Jeepers in here?

[Principal Skinr]

It is pretty awesome to be a 2 Jeep family. My wife likes driving my JKU whenever she can. I usually drive the JKU to work once or twice a week, the JLU once, and then I've got a couple older, low mileage vehicles that I am trying to spread the miles toward. They aren't as fun to drive as either of those Jeeps. On the weekend, though, it is all Jeep, for me. (Stress relief!)

I’m still quite fond of my TJ.

That's a great looking TJ!

Bought another 1999 Cherokee a couple weeks ago.

Wow thats a familiar site, My son just sold hi 2000, lifted 3.5", CAI, custom exhaust 33's He had another before that but wrecked it so we transferred everything to the 2000. I prefer Wranglers myself, I have had 3 of them and looking to get another.. Love the tops off the only way to go otherwise Id take a Cherokee anyday. Treat the 4.0 good and they last forever.If you want to go 4wheeling I suggest a 3 core radiator with twin electric fans thats one of the 4.0's problem overheating. Stay safe brother..

hell yea, now that will work looks like my last one before I sold it. I could kick myself now.

These should arrive tomorrow for the 2009 JKU Sahara. 20 yr warranty was a good selling point for me

Slowly going through all the systems on this recent purchase. Cooling and heating - transmission fluid changed ( 144,000 miles)
Braking system - checked and good, New plugs and wires, Transmission checked, a few accessories bought - new grill.
I still need to replace 3 door actuators for the keyless entry to be useful. I need to hunt down a small oil leak though.
I will attempt to post pic with the new headlights when installed

Thanks. The inside looks pretty good with the Bartact seat covers too

I still want a JKU.

Terre Haute area is having one and they are going to have a built tj as a raffle for a local breast cancer support group. I know they are 7 for $100 with other prices for less.

Martin's Auto out west of Plainfield is pretty good and not expensive. Mr. Martin has had Jeeps and I think currently has a TJ. He's done good work for me from installing my JK lift years ago to work on our old Ford pickup.

Well I’ll be down for that if there isn’t a ride closer to home.

I picked up a Magnaflow axle-back exhaust system for the JL from ExtremeTerrain.com. I'll be installing it Saturday. The thing sounds great, stock, so it should sound even better with this exhaust. I think it is about time to ditch the hard top. Today's weather tipped the scales!

I'll post up some video with before/after sound of the exhaust, after I get it on there.

Anybody else doing any spring Jeep mods?

 

[Rookie]

I might sweep the interior...

 

[Drail]

The best addition I ever made to my Jeep was getting a black lab. When she was a pup every time we'd go through town cute girls would mob my Jeep every time we stopped. That pup was the most incredible chick magnet I have ever seen...

 

[Principal Skinr]

Got my Magnaflow axle-back exhaust installed! It sounds amazing! Once I figure out video editing on Google Chrome, I'll post up a video with beore/after sound.

 

[Principal Skinr]

I haven't had a chance to record sound from the exhaust, but I did get around to installing a JCR winch plate and Smittybilt XCR9500 Comp winch. This thing is coming together. I've got clearance from the chief to go to Moab in October! Next up will be a 20" light bar on the front bumper, a CB radio, and then a GMRS radio. I'm waiting for good options for antenna mounts. I also added a Barricade recovery kit from ExtremeTerrain.com.
