Post pix of your Jeep here - starting over.

I'll keep it current, I'll post a pick of my most recent Jeep...maybe later we can all share what we use to drive ;)

Others, GO!

Yay...its back! (fixed images) Disregard the mess on and around the TJ. Been moving stuff around.

Wife's "new to her" TJ - yes, she WANTED this instead of her JKU. 2001 Sahara, less than 60k on it when we picked it up in June:

https://scontent-ort2-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/20915227_873836948450_6939306685188497259_n.jpg?oh =13de0f15d4aba440c5d4219e74960f0c&oe=5A13D9F5

Has a tan hard top, I purchased a tan soft top that same weekend...recently swapped out a black flip top front for it a couple weeks ago. Down side, the tan top was thick, quiet, this black one is thin and noisy. But she doesn't seem to mind, so it stays that way. Gonna put the hard top on soon tho, weather is starting to turn.

She wants a Wrangler something fierce, but the damn things are just insanely priced - especially for a "moderately" rust free one :rolleyes:

Keep your eyes peeled, there might be a squared up Liberty joining the stable soon, if I can find one in our budget :lol:

JEEPFAM - LOL!

[Kurt]

That XJ looks clean! Id love to have another one, and that same blue too

[Cobound]

Looks are deceiving...yes, it's top clean, but the roof has the rust spots, it is starting to nickle and dime me. Oh, and the passenger side has a couple dents. If it was super clean I'd keep it...but I don't want to work on it any more.

Replaced a couple injectors, both front shaft joints, muffler brackets (needs a middle one), new front shocks, two new wheelbearings, front brakes and rotors, radiator is getting slushy, power steering is going out, hood latch broke so I pinned it, evap check engine light has been on since I bought it since nothing can be found to fix it...other little things that aren't even worth addressing at this point.

The front pass wheel fell off a year ago and put a dent in the fender and door, I pulled the fender out and fixed all the stuff to get it on the road again. I dunno, I'm just sick of working on ****, is all.

Trust me, I'd love a CLEAN XJ...but those are so rare and expensive :mad:

So what you're saying is, you took the photo from the perfect angle.

[Cobound]

Ha, well...that pix is 2 years old, and from a good angle. Honestly, it's kinda went south this past year, really started seeing it's downfall.

Case in point, anything decent is high prices, high miles...high owners :lol:

[Cobound]

Exactly. It pains me...dude, have you priced a TJ lately :o

$8k for a rust bucket, $15k for a fairly clean, but high mileage auto...$20k for one that is "mint" :lol: :mad:

Feels weird driving such a 'streetable' jeep for the first time in ages; hands-off driving @ 70mph is quite novel.

BTW, the Fury was looking damn good. :cool:

Time to start making it unstreetable! lol

Thanks. I almost got up this morning and washed it...but didn't.

This is what she looked like 11 years ago when I purchased it, and took it home to my folk's house in NW PA before I went overseas for a year. She was a basket, the PO had installed a homemade wooden center console, pick-and-pull grey bucket seats out of who knows what... everything under the hood was stock, it still had the smog stuff hooked up. And, it had that terrible and freaking heavy ACME top and doors on it.

http://www.jeepin.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=15&stc=1&d=1508183186


And this was taken on go topless day, my son and I headed to a baseball game that morning. I've screwed with it quite a bit since then, COMP cam and valve train, MC2100 carb with a 2 barrel intake from a later year, upgraded a bunch of wiring, relay's in the headlights, fog lights, windshield lights, a CB in the dash, a Tuffy center console, Bestop seats, front and rear, front and rear brakes, and lock out hubs. It always seams to be something, it's currently in the garage without an oilpan as I attempt to clean the mess underneath it from an oilpan gasket leak.

COMP cam and valve train, MC2100 carb with a 2 barrel intake from a later year,

the comp was a good choice, great cam. i ran the Crane and hated it, then swapped in the COMP. but you didn't swap on a 4.0HO head while in that deep? was amazed at the difference when we did Stevie's.

Yeah, I have had zero issues with the Comp stuff, cam, valve springs, you name it. The only issue was finding the right size pushrods, but the machine shop helped me figure that out.

5 or 6 years ago when I had the engine torn down to the block, I really should have. I kick myself every time I have to fiddle with a carburetor that I should have went to a 4.0 head with FI. Back then, I think I was going to buy a dual plane intake and put a 4bbl on it. I never did that either. Hindsight, right?

Holy crap!!!! $1660.06??? For just the head, for that money I would rather buy this combo;

https://www.summitracing.com/parts/msd-2900/overview/

https://www.summitracing.com/parts/ofy-5999dp

[6DoF]

but that combo could yet make another 50-75hp with the head ... even a stock head.

actually, i forget what car tv show did it, but they tried a self learning EFI throttle body on a 4.0 and it failed miserably. then Rock Hound Racing, the 222 buggy, runs a holy MPFI self learning computer to run his 4.7 stroker and i'm not sure he's ever made it thru a full weekend without if failing somehow. multiple iterations and he's now going back to a stock 4.0 computer. if doing EFI, rip it from a junkyard jeep.

That's a nice clean TJ!

Got some Savvy Off Road half doors last fall, just before the snow came...put them on this year and drove around a bit to see if I liked them before I spent cash on painting them.

https://scontent-ort2-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/34893265_932998433360_3077639750312525824_n.jpg?_n c_cat=0&oh=12796159f1325e752ea906470ceac683&oe=5BB9BC01

LOVE them...all but the idea that they don't have a seal, so using the uppers was kinda silly if all the rain would come in the lowers. Anyway, JUST got a quote on paint and was too busy w/ house work and graduation prep so they didn't get painted...GLAD I DIDN'T!!

Came across these last week - MOPAR doors :eek:

Guy sold his JK for a JL and had these, no uppers. Well, I already have uppers, thank you! Only problem, again, they need paint.

I tossed them on to see how they fit, and they are amazing!! Now I can TOTALLY use my uppers. That means, Savvy doors are for sale. Funny thing is, I just found a fix for the seals (http://www.wranglerforum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3169977&d=1469568980) that surprisingly looks good, and it's cheap (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NDR2B5O?tag=vs-auto-convert-amazon-20), but I'm still keeping the Mopar doors :rock:

At the moment it's the Calico Cat :lol:

https://scontent-ort2-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/35067523_932998393440_7357035530711728128_n.jpg?_n c_cat=0&oh=410eab23c32781fcd6cb485bd14faa1d&oe=5BBA787C

Black, Anvil, White...my kids love it, I think it looks ridic, but I'll probably drive it like this a few days before I tear the doors down for paint :roflmao:

Again, those Savvy doors are sweet, but how can a guy pass up on a unicorn set of Mopars :p

[Kurt]

So how much do you want for the Savvy doors?

[Cobound]

By the time you’d pay shipping, you’d be better off going through Northridge 4x4 via new w/o mirrors. Unless you had a Tank Green JK :p

In all seriousness, $900 would do it on here, but locally I’m asking $1300 OBO. Personally, if you do order a set, DON’T get the TJ mirrors - only thing I don’t like about them.

Yes please. Sadly I think that trip was the last real technical wheeling I've done. Been to the dunes a few times, played in my yard, ran over a minivan, but besides that it's just been street use.

JJ, awesome to see your new baby on the trail already, but those damn side steps :lol:

[JEEPJERK]

I started to pull those off the day of the run, but as crazy as it may be, the bolts were all rusted....one broke, one wouldn't move. I made the decision to move on to disconnecting the rear swaybar instead.

I don't like the steps, but I do use them....although their days are numbered. I did get my new top on, and tinted my slider windows too!!

Agreed! Long overdue. I still have the smashed windshield on the Jeep, so don't care too much if stuff clears! Of course a rock took out the spot in front of my viewing area, so it's even worse now. I've got a brand new used one in the rafters I haven't bothered to install yet. Need to paint it along with the rest of the Jeep one of these days.
