its a 2012.. and it takes a little time to install the first time around.. couple hours.. but after that it isnt bad.. you have to make some cuts in the factory bar wrap for the brackets.. but it isnt too bad

Well the rear diff on my cherokee started leaking like a sob. Gonna buy a new plug and reseal it. Hearing mixed things. Some say use a gasket and some rtv. Some say use just rtv on the diff cover.

ialways just used RTV with no issues on any diff i've pulled.

my buddy had his tj out there with us.. he did really well.. except for getting buried in some of the stinkiest mud ever..

[MattRage]

so you get an idea of how steep the hill is..

Did they make soft top TJ's with actual glass door windows, or just the zip up style ones?

there are full doors.. but if you dont find one with them already on they are very expensive

Friend of mine just got a TJ a couple weeks ago. Soft top. I like everything about it EXCEPT for the zip up style windows.

[MattRage]

Dam, that looks buriful...

it is man.. that water fall is normally where a lot of the rock crawling goes down.. its called little blue if you want to look it up on youtube... there are actually quite a few big rock crawl events held here every year.. its a pretty popular spot.. right now the dam is open so there isnt much rock crawling going on.. but the trails offer plenty of everything you would want to get into anyway..

What's up mofos? Been a while since I've posted in here. Sold my TJ back in 2012 and just bought it back at the beginning of June lmao. The dude who I bought it from only put 16k miles on it, so I figured what the hell and bought it back. So far I've been tightening up a whole bunch of crap that was kind of neglected; johnny joint rebuilds, fluid changes, alignment, etc.

[4wheelerz]

awesome thread! I've seen a lot of cool Jeep photos here, especially in action!

[turbodiesel_kai]

oh cool.. how is the scene there? id imagine there are a ton of good spots out there

[turbodiesel_kai]

it's ok, there are a few places to go but they're all pay to play. Lots of trees, narrow trails and tons of mud if you're into that. Hillclimbs. I prefer it out west with little to no mud and few trees so you can concentrate on wheeling and not worryi8ng about hitting trees or having mud turn an easy trail into something impossible.

pay? that sucks... we have a few decent spots here that are free... disney that you know of.. then there is gruber off road park.. its part of an airforce base that is pretty sweet..

i like trails myself.. im not a big rock crawl guy or mud.. but a little of both is cool..

[turbodiesel_kai]

yeah everything around here is private land, public land doesn't exist. i don't mind paying it's only like $20 for the day there just isn't much challenging technical stuff. Lots of trails but honestly, i don't need a rig built like mine to run the trails; my jeep was more fun on those.

oh yeah we'llbe back next year. going to Windrock TN in september. That's supposed to be a nice rock crawling park.

So...here's the criteria for my next jeep:

TJ wrangler
4.0
5 speed
120k or less
any color except black or yellow (maybe yellow if the deal is right)
as close to stock as possible (most mods I would want is lift and tires)

How difficult is it going to be to find one for $8k or less? Also how common are dual top TJ's?


Friend of mine just picked up a 1997 4.0 5 speed soft top. 120k miles. Bone stock except for BFG 33x12.50s. He paid $6k for it. It's in good shape except for a little surface rust on the driver side front fender. Also looks like it was a pavement princess it's whole life.

A deal like that is an impossibility in California where I'm currently living, you're looking at more of a $9-10k price tag out here. Especially with a crap lift and tires, because people out here get the cheapest **** on their Jeeps so a bro will buy it for extra money. Good luck on your search.
