I appreciate you writing this. In fact I just read it to my wife. Helps to see others making the same move and helps her to see that although I might be crazy there are others out there :-). Thanks to all for the comments on the wheels. They came with the truck. I cannot see a time I would...

Nice write ups and pics on your project so far. I appreciate the time and thought that is going into your build and the write up.

Is there any bolt in solution for raising the seat height of this vehicle? I am 5'6" and even in my jeep I raised the seats 1.5". Cannot seem to find a similarly off the shelf version for the burb...

Wow... I panicked just looking at the wiring loom! Amazed at what you guys can do. My first 4wd experience was in my brother's scout back in the early 80's. Don't remember the year, but it looked the same as yours. What a beast. Heavy as a tank... he was rear ended by a VW beetle and...

It is nice, although I wonder about it only having 4 mounting bolts through the frame... I have an old Warn HS 9500 in need of some refurbishment. I think I will rebuild it and that will be on here until I can swing a bigger winch. Hoping over the next couple days to continue replacing...

I ordered weather stripping and window seals today from A1Auto. I am doing the barn doors and the front doors first. When funds allow I will hit the rear entry doors. I will report on quality, fit etc... I had some light left today and accomplished 2 things... 1 - confirmed that the burb...

Thanks Jim. This move is a combination of the vehicle change and also then to help pay down the 40 acres we just bought. This LJ is the best riding jeep I have built up for sure and as I mentioned I know there are going to be plenty moments of regret. I have half doors and soft uppers and...

Ordered weatherstripping for front doors and rear cargo doors.

BIG problem when I got home... I was hijacked by a masked outlaw...

Awesome. I will dig up info on the Cherokee steering mod. I am surprised that I cannot find a vendor who just sells a complete weather stripping kit for the whole dang truck. Tonight we took care of some basic stuff, replaced that high bean headlight, air filter, and started messing with the...

Thanks Warrpath! I had heard about the cracks and will get to that this wknd.

Hmmmm... where do you find these roof caps?

Mike, I will put it in the for sale section. Just have to get it ready to go, and pull a couple things off of it that I am going to keep. If you are interested PM me for now.

Thanks Klutch!

So I could not think of a creative title, so there it is... 138,000 miles, no rust no leaks. I pick it up on Tuesday. This does mean that the 2005 Jeep LJ Rubicon will go up for sale. I figure I will regret that part from time to time. Goal for this change is: have a more family...

Thank you Brett! It is always a pleasure to work with Dale, kindness and honesty go a long way in my book.

She's going up for sale. Just made a deal on a suburban to replace the jeep. Will post here when I get it ready to go. John

I am going through the same decision process for my 2005 LJ Rubicon. I think the family has outgrown the noise and cramped size for long trips. I am going to look at a suburban today. The LJ is no doubt a better vehicle than the TJ in most circumstances, and having had a CJ8 in the past there...

Great idea and nice work.

May be putting the LJ Rubi up for sale. Going to look at a suburban today. Might be time to changeover for a more well rounded family, wheeling, camping, adventure vehicle. No decision made but we have been considering for a while. Any thoughts?
