Has there been a thread created for all the Wrangler owners here to share pictures, stories, adventure, ask questions etc? I know there are lots of Jeep owners around, some very impressive builds and some weekend warrior types...

If there isn't a thread, lets kick it off right here! If there is a thread, lets kill this thread and give new life to the old thread.

I have a 2006 TJ Wrangler with 23k mikes, 4.0, 6 speed manual, 44 in the rear from factory , Rubicon Express 4.5" long arm suspension, terraflex 1" body lift, 35's, 4:56 gears *****tybuilt 9500lb wench, front and rear bumpers. To install, Currie antirock front and currie heavy duty steering.

Honest use currently is weekend duty. Plan on running Matagorda this summer chasing birds with flyrods up and down the shore this summer... but I have planned on doing this for two years now so... don't hold your breath. Would eventually enjoy really building a true low center build with real axles, lockers, suspension but will have to wait for now.

'06 TJ 4.0L as well. Way ahead of you at a whopping 27K on the odometer. Mainly used to run around New Braunfels/Gruene on the weekends when the weather is good. I've been wanting to lift it, but, it's more my wife's car and she likes it as is. It'll be getting sandy this summer for sure as we just bought a place on North Padre

A buddy of mine built this about 10 years ago and I bought it from him about 2 years ago to replace my TJ.

92 YJ
4.0
ax15
Atlas
Spider 9 front housing with 60 outers
Ford 9 rear with 40 splines
5.13s
39" Krawler Reds.
PSC hydro

Its getting a little rough, so I have been thinking about tearing down and building something else, but it currently works very well.

This is in Clayton back in December

Yeah. All I've done is tires, transmission, York, and maintenance. Thing just work, but its getting pretty ugly. Plus I need to get away from being the guy wheeling Busa's old rig and build something of my own again.

I wouldn't worry about it being someone's old rig. I think it looks great. I sure do love YJ's and have considered building a more trail worthy rig on YJ instead of a cleaner TJ example.

Paint or new body panels will solve that problem. Bumble bee paint job is the only reason I recognized it since I'm so far out of the TAMOR circle these days.

Not sure if you brah's saw that SCS started making wheels for JK's. I have matte dark bronze Ray10's on my white Tacoma and I'd love to get some matte dark bronze [something] on my white LJ.

Whats their strategy? I found SCS about a week ago, and noticed they only have wheels come up for sale once a month and they are all gone very quick. I want a set of SR8s for my wife's 4Runner, but they make it pretty difficult to buy.

Facebook says they get the next order in tonight, so I will give it a shot.

I bought my Ray10's during their last release and it was a bit of cluster f. They advertised, via social media, the colors and sizes that were going to be available on X date at 6pm PT. I set a reminder on my calendar to be at my computer 5min til 8pm CT to be ready to go at the top of the hour. I refreshed at 8:00pm CT and tried to add 4 to my cart and kept getting an error that there were none available, yet the website showed them in stock. I went to the their instagram page and saw that everyone was having the same issue but I kept trying and persistence paid off. At around 8:20 I was finally able to add 4 to my cart and purchase them.

After that I had zero issues. I contacted them about a week later after not receiving a tracking number and they instructed they were shipping them out in the order the orders were placed but would ship mine out that afternoon. They arrived a couple days later and were packaged very securley and looked great!

Their limited release sucks but I guess it's driving some demand for them. I don't think the issue I experienced is typical but I would be ready at the moment they say they're going to release them.




ok, back to Jeeps!

2016 Red JK Willy's edition. Manual trans.
- 2.5" teraflex suspension lift with teraflex shocks
- Barricade trailforce bumper
- Raxiom offroad lights
- Raxiom LED headlights
- Smittybuilt 9500 lb wench

I made a deal with my wife that I could get 35"
off road tires after the factory mud terrains are worn out. Now I work from home so I don't think will ever happen.

Traded my F150 to another TA poster for this '05 Unlimited back in January. I really, really like it...my kids (boy 12 and girl 14) absolutely LOVE it, and Mrs. Goose, well...I think she's starting to come around on it.

I remember that thread, you got the good end of that deal, that's a beauty.

Nearly stock '17 JKU, already have 32k on him. He's about to hit 11 national parks visited, here's Bryce Canyon.

All my mods have been interior related so far.

I've been drooling over the JLU Sahara lately. Luckily for my bank account, the colors I want aren't available yet. that being said, I really like my current truck and not having any kind of payment. I'm not sure if I will be able to talk myself into an expensive toy that I really don't need.

98 TJ Sport. 4.0 5 spd. I'm the third owner, originally came from New Mexico. Have plans to lift and upgrade to 33s, but it just hasn't happened yet. Doors off and topless is the life!

My 1942 Willys MB that I've been working on for the last several years. My grandfather gave it to me before he passed. My mother used it as her daily driver in HS. It now has a windshield and serial numbers on the sides. I haven't taken a recent picture,

You said you wanted repairs...just accidentally closed my garage onto my open tailgate =( =( =(

Never dealt with cracked paint like this, the dent itself will be easily bent back out, latch is unaffected.
