Tires and engine!

Between 500-800 used is what I've seen. Lower side tends to need something higher side in good condition.

Wanted to sample a few flavors. For a while had more cars than years I've been driving, balanced out maybe three years ago.. Although the current WJ is close to holding the record for the longest I've owned a vehicle continuously. My 88 MJ I've had the longest but sold it and bought it back.

I've had over 20. Bulk of those jeeps. 3 XJs, 2 WJs, 3 MJs, CJ7, 72 commando, X5, 325i, Benz c350, 3 K5s(74,75,89), Honda Accord, HHR SS, scion xb, GX460, 4runner, eclipse, integra and some others I don't remember.

Great, thanks.

ha ha, I can only imagine what the "true" cost is. Figured that was just pulling an engine and tossing it in. No rebuilding or a lot of the other things to be done right.

Looking forward to seeing it come along!

How much money you willing to drop? If you're not comfortable doing a lot of fab work and spending 6-10k keep the 4.0. Do cruiser54 tips, regear it, drive.

I'll have to make a harness. Do you know any part numbers or have a good source for plugs and such?

Past weekend I picked up a waggy header. What all is needed to get this on the MJ? There are no lights or harness.

Rearranging current space. I would love to add new but that isn't in the cards. My dad has a lift at his house so pending what I'm working on I just go up there and use the lift. Biggest issue is trying to find tools in his $#!& storm of a storage system. The current thought is using the 3rd garage spot as the area for "working" and tool storage while being able to park something there that can be moved. I do plan to have a temporary wall of sorts to contain stuff, especially with welding/grinding. Thanks for the info.

Good to know about PEX. I definitely consider going down that route because it seems it would be a lot cheaper. So do you just buy the termination to air hose connectors separate?

Picked up a waggy front clip yesterday. Not fully sure what I'm going to do with it. Might put it on one of the MJs or might just be wall art. Always thought these were super cool and price was right.

A traction device will do far more for your offroad ability than a lift. Just throwing it out there. For 31s I'd do a double shear track bar, short arms, OME coils, new leafs, solid tie rod, steering refresh and good shocks. As other have said piecing it together is better than buying a "kit". Really depends on your budget and ability.

Beer thirty is here! Picked up this Kolsch style ale from West Bound and down, colab with Beirstadt. Won Silver at GABF last year. Really tasty and smooth. Definitely drink a few without knowing.

Thanks for the input. Yes, I will be getting a bigger compressor. The one in the pic is my beat around compressor that I use for stuff in the house and other jobs. I would like to get a bigger vertical one but wouldn't be able to build a separate spot for it. That's a good thought to plumb lines before covering walls. Anything specific I need to do for that? Assuming something like this https://www.amazon.com/Maxline-Leak-Proof-Compressor-Accessories-HDPE-Aluminum/dp/B005FKYRTU/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=Shop+Air+Compressor+Line&qid=1674145284&sr=8-3 I do have a shed already outside that has a a lot of the seasonal stuff and some other things I didn't get to organize when we first moved in. The MJ currently in the garage will be going away so that will free up a lot of space and is the big piece of the puzzle that needs to get the f out of the way. There is a loft area above the 3rd car spot. It has a few things but will be looking to add a ladder and some more storage up there for some of the random crap. It's not huge but more useable space. Good idea about the casters. I do plan to get some cabinets. Had a buddy that put peg board on the cabinet doors to hang stuff which I might do to. I had thought about the filing cabinet or lockers to keep some things in. I already have a Miller 180 currently that can run off 120, but do plan to get a bigger one. Most of the welding I do/ am capable of is smaller things. I am going to run new outlets and more lights. If there's one thing I've learned in life is you can never have too many outlets or lights, especially in the garage. I'm hoping I won't have to put in a new panel but pretty sure I will which I know isn't cheap right now.

I do have a new rolling 56" toolbox and am planning a work bench/welding table. Have thought about maybe a fold down bench to utilize space.

Ok, thanks for the info. I have a rough idea but this might be the best idea. Might have to raid the kids legos.... Thanks for the info. I may do OSB. Will have to see what I can source The door by the MJ goes to the back yard there is another door the goes to the inside of the house. First two pics are from the vantage point.

Here's what I'm working with. Don't mind the cluster f of clutter. Lots of things going on.

Going to be tackling a garage renovation soon and was wondering if anyone has some tips, thoughts or ideas. I have a three car garage and one of them has to be for the wifes car, rest are for me. Mainly want something that I can obviously keep all my tools in and space to work on things. A welder and drill press and the bigger tools. I do plan do add in a bunch of shelves. Add in insulation and sheet rock (had wanted to do plywood but way too expensive). Right now my loose plan is to clear as much space in the 2 bay area so the wife can park and another car could potentially park in along with putting more of the "stupid" storage over there. Currently there's a janky shelf that makes that space pretty tight. I'd keep the one bay area mainly for tools, work benches and such. I tried to pitch the idea to the wife about her using the 1 bay area and got told some choice words, so that's out. Wanting to see if anyone has some things they've done or ideas?

We have a bunch of them. Really depends on what you're after. HBO is one I use a lot. Decent amount of movies and shows. Disney is a must if you have kids, since disney owns so much you get Marvel, star wars and some other things so not just Mickey mouse crap. Redbull TV I watch a lot and it's free. Netflix is ok, they have some really good shows and tons of other just $#!& ones. Hulu is meh, think the biggest win is they have a good amount of cartoons, good for me and the kids. Paramount isn't too bad but not a lot of new content. They do have a bunch of old nickoloden cartoons and some other decent things. Since they own cbs you get some of those shoes and the occasional sports. Prime is nice since it's more than just streaming. They have some good shows and movies.

Lol, put that on my headstone. Loving father, son and husband owner of 3 Comanches.

Lol, just another example of because you can doesn't mean you should.
