I plan on using whatever vehicle for a dd 90% of the time and offroad occasionally when I go canoeing or camping. When I graduate I will be able to afford a more dedicated trail rig. Trying to do both in my Grand kinda made it go to hell pretty quick (tranny started slipping, cv boots broke, TC...

Does anyone else have an opinion?

It's much harder here in Texas. A lot of 4x4 get shipped up North where they will bring more money. There are 2 3rd gens for sale but both are 170-190k miles. Not a big deal for a Toyota I know but after buying my GC with 210k miles and inheriting all the old age problems I really want to get...

So my 1998 Grand Cherokee is on it's way out. I've had it from 210k miles to 250k miles and it has served me well these last few years. Sadly she is showing her age and parts are breaking faster than I can fix them. I will try to sell her but I'd be suprised if someone will buy her, I might just...

Fixed the electrical issue and got a new wire from picknpull. Time to clean this thing up and get her sold!

I've been a member of 1h8mud.com since we bought the car in 2000-2001 and showed my dad the site to help him with maintenance stuff. Thanks for the great input. Oh and the "Heep" died on me yesterday because of the o2 sensors grounding out on the drive shaft. Damn thing wont stay up, now I get...

I'll talk to my dad about giving him payments if I can't sell the Jeep right away. He kinda needs the money from me selling the jeep for him to buy the new car though. It doesn't hurt to ask I guess. Man I wish they did another cash for clunkers that would be easy to get rid of it that way.

Thanks for the replies, the Jeep is probably is worse condition because of the mileage and transmission issues. I'm regretting buying this particular jeep, Grands are still one of my favorite cars, but I was kinda in a rush to get some wheels. Now I'm stuck with a Heep that needs work and is...

I copied this from my local club's forum that I posted earlier but thought I'd ask you guys too... So as I mentioned in my feeler thread in the classifieds (http://www.lsjc.org/board/showthread...256#post741256) my dad approached me to buy my mother's 1997 Lexus LX450 or fancy version of a...

So any reviews on the duroflex joints vs JJ or similar flex joints? I'm thinking about getting some TJ short arms for my ZJ ( good flex while keeping that plush factory ride (I hope))

Welcome. There are a couple ZJ owners on here.

Well it's been a couple months since I've updated this. I didn't end up getting the Falkens but got a brand new set of JK take offs for... FREE! Now I know the Wrangler ST is nothing to write home about but free is always better and gives me some time to find something better. I added an old...

hey what bumper is on your new brown zj?

The tires are here, just not on the jeep yet. I went in for an alignment and they said I needed to replace my steering gear because it was leaking. Brakes Plus in Carrolton gave me a good deal on the install for $400 with alignment included but that $400 was money for the Falken's so I have...

The lights already came with a joined positive wire so I'm good there. i guess all I have to do is extend the negative wires from the lights so they can "actually" reach a ground source and get a 30/40 relay, the wires they had were maybe 5" in length. Thanks guys.

Yup it was. With almost 226k on the clock I'll be saving for a new engine some point in the future. I'll probably buy it before I need it so I can work on it outside of the jeep and get it built up the way I want. Next week... TIRES! Yay finally something I want instead of something I need :wings:

So you splice both possitive wires from the lights into one and then wire that wire to the relay?

I just got the Heep back from the shop In total I spent $1025.00 which was way more than I thought but I also got every issue that I know about fixed. New CA bushings, new balancer, timing cover, timing set, and the oil pan gasket replaced. I have to take it back in on Monday because something...

Ya I have a Haynes but my tool collection is limited to a few tools and I don't have much space to do work on my Jeep. While I'm comfortable doing most things like bolt on stuff and suspension but I don't want to mess up the engine on my DD. It's also 29 freakin degrees here in Dallas and...

Well the repairs keep on coming. I took the Heep in today to get a better idea on where the oil leak was coming from on the front of the engine. My first thought which might still be leaking is when the PO had the oil pan replaced they didn't seal it up all the way and it is leaking from the...
