Merry Christmas! My awesome Aunt got me a couple things for the Jeep. Some new LED flood lights for my front bumper light bar which was installed when I bought the car with no lights. Plus a safari hat to keep the sun off of my head in the Arizona Summers. Not really for the Jeep but my wife...

I mounted 2015 Rubicon wheels to my LJ a couple of weeks ago. Been meaning to post but life happens. I picked them up from ORE. A fun road trip from AZ! I got to spend some "quality" time with the new Jeep. Thanks to SaddleTramp for selling me the wheels. Good luck with your new build...

Jeep LJ/TJ Rear Seat Belt Buckles I am looking for the rear seat belt buckles for my 2006 LJ. These would have attached to the floor behind the rear seat (see link to pic below). A previous owner replaced the carpet and they are missing. Perhaps a TJ owner ditched their rear seat and have...

I will be driving out to Fullerton, CA from Phoenix on Friday September 4th to pick up some wheels from ORE (Thanks SaddleTramp!). I will be spending the night in Fullerton before driving home on Saturday. Thought it would be cool to check out an easy to moderate trail on the way home Saturday...

A tiny bit of collateral damage coming off a steep hump. Bent the trailer wiring bracket and cracked it a little bit. Think I'll try mounting this flush in to the bumper instead. I hit the end of the tow bar, too. Nothing a new tow bumper won't fix. ;)

Got back from wheeling today (first time on a decent trail with the new LJ) and found this under the hood. It appears to have come out of an opening on the back of the coolant reservoir. I'm assuming it's an overflow and the coolant may have just been a bit overfilled. Any thing to worry...

Had a great time! It was good meeting you guys. I'm looking forward to the next one. Didn't get a lot of pictures unfortunately. Great (late) lunch!

Hi, can anybody recommend a good, trustworthy Jeep shop/off-road shop in the Phoenix area? Preferably in the East Valley as I live in Chandler and work in Tempe. I'm looking for an experienced shop than can do general mechanic work but is also experienced in modifications, such as lifts. I am...

The Four Peaks Trail in Arizona! (thanks for the recommendation TheFunSmith!)

Safety first! The front brakes have been pulsating like crazy so I knew some brake work was going to need to be done. I noticed this on the test drive and used this in the negotiation. Also, the brake fluid was due for a flush. The fluid was dark and I could tell the brakes became less...

Hi, my LJ has a 2" Teraflex Budget Boost installed with Rancho shocks (not sure which model). I noticed the front bump stop extensions were installed which appear to provide very little suspension compression. I'm guessing the bump stop compresses some but still doesn't seem like much travel...

First order of business was to figure out why the Sony stereo wasn't working. I gotta have some tunes for in between trails. :D That'll do it: Look at how the guy crimped these things. That ain't gonna work. :crazyeyes: Much better: Now I can listen to my Huey Lewis and the News CD...

I wanted to post up some 'before' pictures showing the LJ as it was the day I bought it.

I finally found a Jeep I liked and closed the deal today! My 3yo is almost as excited as I am. :D My wife already threatened to steal it. :crazyeyes: She's a 2006 LJ with only 101k miles. ;) Mostly original but does have a Teraflex "budget boost" with Rancho shocks. That's good because I...

Looking good! I hope I have the opportunity to tackle a project like this some day. Think it would be fun and something I can use as a bonding experience with my son. I appeciate and enjoy seeing the progress!

Not sure where to post this, but those with kids may be interested. http://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/autos/2015/08/14/britax-recall-child-safety-seats/31702911/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

I'm headed up to Peoria to look at a used LJ this afternoon. Private seller. Any of the Phoenix area guys available to go look at it with me? I have a good idea what to look for when looking at used vehicles but thought it might be a good idea to have someone familiar with Jeeps with me. And...

I looked at a 2006 LJ today at a local used car dealer. I noticed some crazing in the paint on the hood and front fenders. Looked like snow flakes sort of. The salesman told me this is a common issue with Wranglers of that vintage in darker colors (this one is red) due to the lack of any type...
