You too FJ.

I am a little jealous that we don't have any real cool trails in the mountains
and through trees and various seasons. Biggest thing I'll have to climb over
is probably bath salts.

You mean dead bodies from bath salts? Those piles could get pretty high at time.

Oh, the doors are coming off for sure.

Easier for people to watch. Plus, you know he's all about that easy access.

y'all are some mean girls!
the only way I'd road trip that is trailer the jeep there and pull with the Yukon!
They have Mayhem some shit out here in the mud and River Ranch...I might do that
with my boss next year if I still own it.

Maj
I looked on amazon and the first 2 pages of accessories the previous owner must have blindly
ordered. There was even an Army air freshener hanging but I immediately took that down...I don't front.
There was a pirate 4 x 4 decal I took off too...
I ordered this one to match the front fender lime green Jeep decals though for the rear window...J actually
insisted that I order it...

It's called Citron Pearl and although it's mostly a respray...it is the original color and it's apparently super rare and
only found on 97 TJ.




FJ I saw a newer 4 door yesterday that said FEMJEEP or some shit on the side...all they need is a huggy nose ring
and a nice little mullet fade to complete the look!

I guess that last line is the biggest problem lol.

Just drive it out there, how bad could it be? I'm driving mine out there, don't expect any issues. There are tons of people that drive their Jeeps out west for some trail runs.

You should also come. Also SHYU should make it as well. Time for Jeepzine!

I did the jamboree in Ouray and it was a blast. Wife and I decided we'd do at least one a year from now until we don't own a Jeep anymore, made a tradition out of it.

I think once replace the transmission mount and get a good balance on the wheels I'll be alright...
I was looking closely at my endlinks and ball joints and they all appear to be greased and in good working order.
I need to get the thing up in the air and check.
Also...I hope the previous owner left the wheel lock in the jeep...just realized it has locks.

Is the Jeep lifted? What tires are on there now?

Lifted with a Rough Country Lift...new shocks/springs/sway endlinks and the stabilizer bar shock...
I'm not sure what kit it is specifically but looks to be at least 3 or 4 inches.
I have 285/70/17 or 33" Nitto something or others.

If those are 33's then it's probably a 1-2 inch lift.

Lord I love his fuckery...
There's no way it's only a 2 inch lift! It's a bitch to get into.

I need to figure out the top situation...on one hand not getting the subwoofer stolen and a nice quiet top is good
and insulates for the sun...on the other...it's florida and being able to drop it or raise it quickly would be great.
or weatherize that bitch inside and put a bikini top on it and call it a day.

Guest parking, man...
I have parking passes and we have a surplus of spots in our hood.
I don't even have to move one to take another, luckily.
I really wanted that 4 liter that was used for like 60 years.
The V6 definitely does well on gas though...that rental we had netted like 23 mpg
on that road trip in Cali.

It's. A. Fucking. Jeep.

That's just as bad as the dustbags that put the bitchin stereo on their Hardly Ableson... What's the point? You can't really enjoy it because of how loud your machine is when it's running, and when it's not running you're just subjecting all the poor innocents around you to your shitty choice in music.

FFS. Take it all out, sell it, and buy yourself a nice LED bar to install on the hood.

naw bro...
it sounds fuckin good, seriously.
I guess I could just get a soft top and not worry about it getting stolen
and then sort of let it all work itself out when it does and then get the light bar.

it came with those led headlights and my goodness are they bright...

I do agree on simplifying though...removing the alarm and all the additional wiring.
When I put the new master cylinder in I actually decided to pull the ghetto rigged jumper they had used
on the clutch safety switch.
I'm also considering going back to a regular fan clutch fan for cooling...
I have a dual fan setup right now with 2 relays...
I need to clean up that wiring but I need to understand what and how it's wired first.

Wonder why they bypassed the clutch safety switch, Jeeps have that built in where it disables the CSS if in the 4L mode.

I learned the hard way you can't start that bitch in gear either...
trust me, I needed the ability the night that master gave up.

Who knows, man...that'll happen with a 22 year old "play" vehicle
that has changed hands a few times.

The way I figured it, I preferred starting off with a bunch of shit I could
take off and sell as I simplify it. I guess a clean totally unmodified one
could have been cool but knowing me, I wouldn't have been able to stomach
what it costs to make it look as cool as this one is.

Hey, my Mother is from the Northeast!
Massholes is right...the fuckin sox, amirite...this is their year.
Lord, when we took a trip up to Bahhhh Harbahhhh it shocked me
that everywhere we went that was what people were talking about
casually. Gas stations, restaurants...

We'll see, man...I did break 2 of my rules...I don't like cars from up North or Snow
and I don't like cars that are already modified and need to be reverse engineered.
I figured the car is simple enough and parts are cheap enough I couldn't get in too deep.

And rust no really obvious at all...2 spots on the body were repaired prior to the new paint from what I can tell.
Frame is solid and just coated in something...but doesn't appear to be coated to hide rust...all the pivot points and
shock mounts seem good...
that one lower stud for the slave, the oil pan and the underside bolt to the motor mounts seem to be the only ones that
have some rust on them I'll have to learn to deal with. Oh and the transmission mount although the 4 that rust off on that
you can snap off and remove anyway because they are a part of the mount itself.
