Litre Country or metal?

I don't have back pain but the knees, stupid, stupid knees......years of football, lifting, neglect and stupid weekends have made them pretty much useless. The thing that has helped me the most is CBD cream. Honestly stuff is amazing. I go to the dispensary since they have to test them as it needs a very small amount of THC to work. The CBD shops I don't do as I don't think most of what they sell works. My dad has a bad shoulder and I gave him some and he was amazed at how well it works. 5 minutes and hes almost pain free.

Picked up a Homestyle from Bearded Iris in Nashville. I went to the brewery when I was out there and loved just about everything they had. Needless to say I was pleasantly surprised when the local store had a few cans allocated.

I can't take the credit, it was meanlemon's rig I bought from him earlier this year. TnT truss, 4.27 gears, custom trackbar and steering, ARB all new everything with 33's. Neal did some great work on it. Once I get settled into my new place it's going to get stripped down to the cab and built back up. Will move up to tons and 37-40s eventually. Going to finish building up my WJ first. So maybe in like 5 years the MJ will get some love.

I have a waggy 44's on mine

CD Chevy or ford

HO Pineapple on pizza yay or nay?

For this reason we avoided jeep all together when the KJ had to go. Got a GX460 and haven't looked back. Rides amazing, plenty of room and gets semi decent MPG for a v8 (around 18 city and 20 highway). Was more than other options but the depreciation on them is practically non existent. We just hit over 100k on it and so far has jsut been basic maintenance.

Wife had a 07 KJ with 3.7, it was fine up until 170k and the issues really started. Left us stranded twice; once with a a key fob issue from the sentry system and other fuel pump died. Then it just had ongoing little mechanical issues. While it wasn't a terrible car I would never own one again. My biggest complaint would be the transmission, 42re was pure garbage and made the thing such an underpowered turd going over the passes. We sold it at 185k because I was working on it almost every weekend. My WJ has a the 4.7 similar the 05+ GC. Biggest issue and will be the same on the 3.7 is dropping valve seats because or aluminum heads on a iron block. I would say neither engine is example of longevity. My WJ was rebuilt at 150k because of the valve seat issue. Typically over 200k you're on borrowed time with the 4.7's.

ACOS. I put on on my MJ to level out the rake.

Happy t day! Due to the current landscape had to switch gears to cook for a few versus the many. Did cornish game hens on the grill. Messed up the spatchcock as I should have done them the other way but still turned out pretty damn tasty. Then had a zoom meeting with the fam. That's was interesting.....

Is that the African amber?

Glad to see others enjoying some suds! I finally picked up a kegerator. Pretty stoked about it. Topped it off with a tap handle from one of my favorite watering holes, Bull & Bush. Now just need to get the rest of the basement finished...... On tap is Moutain standard IPA from Odells. Really good balance of east and west IPAs, hence the "Mountain" standard name. Not sure what barrel will grace my presence next. Time will tell......

Gasket? If so it won't fit. The CR has a metal "gasket" that sticks out further than stock if that makes sense. Be too much to fit with the CR and the gasket. Only way it would work is to cut the outter facing piece off and then glue it down. Could be done, but youd have to take your time and do it right. Otherwise it would just look weird and wavy IMHO.

Atleast a 1/4 and more in other spots. More mainly because the frame was a little tweaked from storage/moving over the years. I had professionally done as well, but they even said it will never sit flush without a gasket. What Limey posted is pretty much in line with what to expect.

I had a CR on my old MJ. I would say the fit is OK, not great but not terrible. Biggest complaint was the gap between the window and the body. It does not install flush but some silicone would probably be fine.

I can appreciate that. I personally am a huge fan of punk music and not for the music but the attitude. The music for the most part isn't the greatest (few true punk bands are actually musically inclined), but it's the DIY attitude that I love. At the time most of these bands (in the 80s) hated the music scene. They couldn't play but rather than the gripe about it they picked a instrument and learned to play. When they wanted to put out a record no one wanted to sign them so rather than call it quits they started their own label. Couldn't find a venue to play so rent out out space. Need some merch so recruit some friends to make album covers and print crappy t shirts. Unfortunately the scene got bastardized and crap bands capitalized on the word Punk. Thanks to Nofx, greenday etc........they suck Bad brains, Bunch of rastafarians that changed the punk scene forever. Fast, good and smart. Youth brigade, 3 brothers and creators of BYO label. I could go on all night

Follow cruiser54s tips on the HO swap. It's not just bolt and go and you need to get a few things to make it work. There's also a guy on youtube that did the HO swap on renix that has some good tips, can't remember his name. I'd also go through Cruisers general list of "to dos" for the renix stuff. Specifically headlight harness and the C101 connector refresh. As for the lift guess it depends on what you want to do, rocks, mud, mall crawl and your budget.

HAHA thats dark.......

Well it was my WJ I built specifically to be a decent daily/family rig and after "Jeep" things kept happening I got a scion xB. Not the best, but not the worst and I hate jeeps less. Plus I get like double the MPG in it so it been a win all around. Although in the 3 months I've had it been in more accidents than in my 20 years of driving. Wife thinks it's cursed. Whatever get's me around and I don't have to wonder what my next project will be on it.

Pull the carpet under the floor boards. If those are toast hard pass at that price. If no rust there then I'd get it to start and negotiate from there.

I know a guy in Kiowa that has a shop. Hes slows af but does solid work. He rebuilt my old 4.0 in my XJ and the 4.7HO in my WJ. Also built a few other engines for my dad and friends. PM me if you want his info.

I have a cavfab kit on mine with about 4". It was the first kit and theres interference with the fuel line and the crossmember bolt. I plan on ditching it in favor of somehing else or fabbing.

RIP Pieree. Not sure if anyone has ever heard of Naked Raygun but major influence on a lot of bands and huge part of the chicago punk scene. Pierre was the bassist for naked raygun and pegboy. Self taught and just all around great bassist.

Well the link keeps taking me back here......
