two dudes, unencumbered by what 'society' thinks.  top down.  wind in our hair.

just throwin it out there.  also, steven kicked me out of his basement.  so.  in between situations at the moment

hahaha that's good stuff.  On a semi-related topic I'm pricing a peel and stick man-bun, tryina update my look to go along with my new ride but can't grow enough of a wad of hair to do it right

I told him at the outset...no using any of the upstairs bathrooms but he was sneaking in during the day when we were at work. Norma finally  nixed the deal. I mean, she had to plunge them, I have a weak stomach.

he's a filthy animal, takes pride in that sort of thing not to mention photos, videos & so forth

Hurtful and spiteful. Next you will be making fun of the pixel resolution of my ten year old photos of aged beef.

Look into fluid filming the undercarriage of your jeep. I did mine in the spring and before winter. The thread below has all you need. Short story it's much better than traditional udnercoating and protects from salt and dirt. Keep that thing rust free. Wranglerforum is also the mecca of everything you'll ever need, beware though it's just like this website. You find something new you want to buy every day...


http://www.wranglerforum.com/f274/the-end-all-fluid-film-thread-1267809.html

so yea I joined that forum, read the thread & added a few $10 cans of Fluid Film to the shopping list as it's clearly a necessity; oh, of course now I'll need a car lift (& a bigger garage to erect it in) to properly apply the film so my initial modest investment will no doubt cost me $75,000 by the time all is said & done 

Can't take it witcha

First time I fluid filmed mine I just laid on the driveway and went to town. Ended up covered in the stuff. I wore glasses and one of those disposable paint masks. The second time I did it (last month) I brought it out to work and the semi repair shop has a pit that you can drive over and stand underneath the Jeep. Much easier... I was originally going to buy some ramps so it would be easier to crawl under.

Mines my daily driver and I live in Toledo where salt is on the ground for around 4-5 months of the year. The rest of the time it'll be protected from dirt/mud and make it easier to clean after going offroad.

I'd rather spend $80 a year and protect my frame from rotting out. Much easier to sell and I can get top dollar out of it.

Would be a blast taking the jeep across the creek in Salado...

i rolled it over driving home, thru a snow bank, thru several trees, down a hill, and into a swamp. didnt know h2 sut's were that tippy. 24k worth of damage   had it 10 days. kept the spare tire and swing out carrier, now looking to replace all the other parts

You could try calling Bruce at the mothership.  From what I hear, it is hit or miss.  You never know, you could get lucky!

thats certainly different than the way i drove mine thru the woods this winter just saw it online in a coparts auction, its at $1350 right now, almost thinking on bidding for it

sounds like you treat it like a rental, that's cool - to each his own, maybe after I bang it up a few more times I will too (ripped the front right flare half off & nearly took the fender with it on Saturday  ),  I still like it all banged back straight & shiny too:

oddly enough that's the part i need most, this one came with a useless undersized spare on the stock carrier & even it was too big & causing problems with my tailgate hinges, then I picked up a full size spare which absolutely necessitates a new bumper/swing out carrier... for the time being I'll just toss the spare in the back when needed until i can pick one of these up

i kept it because the insurance settlement said it wasnt an up grade even though it cost the original owner 1800 bucks. im sure ill get 600 to 800 for it with the rim, full size bfg, swing arm and lock etc.  or find another one without the carrier which is what i need to do

I had a 74 fj back in high school and still regret selling it. Nothing more fun than a 4x4 with no top.

Bottom Mango Tango is my current JEEP since having 2 small kids.  Lots of fun..

what color is the tj, that's nice

Not sure of the factory color name of it. 
Loved that TJ. 

This thread got me cruising craigslist.  Unfortunately, the only jeeps they allow in my town must be made of platinum and gold.  213K miles = $12,000 for basic 2 door.  Seriously?  Wish I had invested in Jeeps.

Just got our mall crawler yesterday.  Had 10 miles on the OD.  Now it has 84.

 added some 33s with rockstar 2 on the Wifes JK, mall parking can be crazy. Installed the TerraFlex 1.5" lift to make room. I had to trim the pplastic air dam under the motor because it rubbed. No seped bump will stop her now
