I absolutely love mine. I keep them at 29 psi. Rotate in a X pattern as well. By far the smoothest and quietest tire I have had on a Jeep. Sent from my moto g power using Tapatalk

I did exactly the same thing with my Vin tag. Works great Sent from my moto g power using Tapatalk

I have OME Dakar packs on my XJ and it has been perfect. Sent from my moto g power using Tapatalk

You are going to love the Milestars. Make sure you run them at 29-30 psi. The tire is designed to run on the center. Sent from my moto g power using Tapatalk

4.0 swap is all the rage in CJs

You know you and any member here is always welcome. Brandon, well he's pretty much family now.

My wife's DD is a 2017 Hemi Trailhawk. It has over 45k on it and has been amazing. It can get almost 24 mpg on the highway and tows our pontoon with ease.

If it's nice I'll take the TJ Unlimited. I use the dually when it's crappy or I need to haul something.

Erebuni made the Street MJ repop kits.

I have a 97 Comanche...

Ten slot from Black Betty hanging on the wall. I'm a big fan of chrome 10 slots!

I painted the flares on my TJ Unlimited with Krylon Fusion. One trick I have learned is clean your parts with ammonia. It opens the plastic up and the paint sticks better.

Good news! Hard to believe how a few extra pounds can change how you feel.

It's my wife's truck and that is what she wants. If it was mine it would be done by now. It took a year to find that bench.

It's been a long time since I made time to work on the 48. Today I started getting the floor installed. I pulled the cab to get it sat on the floor to make sure it was level. I then trimmed and trimmed some more to get the XJ floor mocked in. I then put the seat in to make sure it would clear the bottom of the seat. I need to take another 1/2" off the trans tunnel to get it away from the seat. The floor is going to work out pretty good.

That's it. Nothing else needs to be said, lol. A 2.2 litre that runs 11s in the 1/4 speaks for itself.

I LUVV my Shelby

I have to start thinning the herd. This is getting out of control!

If I had the tools to do it I would. My fav guy is Brandon. He builds all my stuff. 1st Gen S10 handles work with a little tweaking and they are readily available.

Good idea [emoji106]

I bypassed the radiator cooler totally. I put 250 miles on it so far and she seems happy.

Almost all automatic vehicles have a trans cooler in the radiator from the factory. When the cooler in the radiator fails you get one of two things that happen. 1) tranny fluid in your radiator or 2) coolant in your transmission. Mine was option 2. I bypassed the factory cooler and plugged the ports in the radiator so I can still drive the Jeep until this radiator is replaced.

The cooler in the cheap replacement radiator that someone before put in failed first. That caused the trans to stop working. I flushed it and replaced the filter. The next day the pump was screaming again. I dropped the pan and pulled the filter and the oring on the filter split causing the pump to suck air. I flushed it again and replaced the filter. All is well now.

I have heard of it happening but never had first hand experience with it. This the the pan from my 2006 TJ Unlimited. The trans cooler failed and this is the result. I flushed it with 12 quarts of fresh fluid and replaced the filter. I took it for a ride yesterday and got a CEL after about 30 miles and the pump started whining. I limped it home and ordered another round of fluid and a filter. When I dropped the pan (I added a drain plug for that reason) there was a little more Pepto in the pan. I dropped the filter and the oring on the cheap Advance filter had split. I put a new Wix filter in and took it on a drive. For the first few minutes the 3rd gear shift was rough and it had a shudder going into lock up. After about an hour she seemed ok. I pulled off on a side road and brake torqued the hell out of it. She went on to absolutely boil the rear tires. It has never done that before. I'm happy it is doing ok. I'm making payments on it for another year! Stay tuned for a future update with a golden twist...

I actually went and cut the trans tunnel out of a XJ. I have been out of town and working on getting my yard equipment running. My TJU has been keeping me busy with the trans cooler failing and filling my tranny with coolant. Tomorrow I will flush it again along with changing the filter for a second time. Hopefully this keeps her happy. The F1 will be back in the line up soon.
