    1999 Jeep Wrangler 2.2L Kubota diesel swap

    Well, I bet it's got more balls than my automatic LJ at 15 mpg. GREAT project, thanks for sharing it with us. Someday it'll be more than a pipe dream for me.....

    Jack's "new" 2006 LJ Rubicon

    Oh, just wanted to mention that it's funny you had that 45 mph shimmy as mine did too when I brought it home. Also pulled to the right! I measured the alignment and it was right on, so I thought I'd try rotating the tires. They have some miles on them and thought perhaps one was out of...

    Jack's "new" 2006 LJ Rubicon

    That's great, Jack. I haven't taken a trip in mine yet, but ours are almost identical as far as the mechanicals go. I can't imagine I am doing any better than 14 or 15 mpg around town with my 33 BFG AT's, buit as you know it's hard to calculate without the speedo correction. Mine are 16's but...

    Jack's "new" 2006 LJ Rubicon

    Couldn't understand the confusion until I went back to re-read my post. Sorry about that, fellas! Seems I got my ave/simian terms all goofed up! :coffee:

    Introducing Miss Rubi, a 2012 Jeep Rubicon Unlimited

    Looks great, nice job. 1.7 is good enough, I wouldn't bother trying to improve on it either. HF is going to be a different story on my LJ, but I found a real guru that has a TJ helping me out via email. We'll see what kind of results I get! Thanks for the reply! Howard

    Introducing Miss Rubi, a 2012 Jeep Rubicon Unlimited

    Wow, really love your JK! That color would sway me to getting orange, I think it's a perfect shade. Love all that you've done, really well thought out and executed! Being a Ham, I'm especially interested in your antenna mount and such. Have you had to do anything as far as bonding goes? I...

    Jack's "new" 2006 LJ Rubicon

    I haven't inspected my OPDA yet, have to look into it. I DID get the Laughing Monkey about a week after I brought her home, had no idea what it could be and I was a little miffed about it. I was spraying lubricant all over the place in the front to try and narrow it down. Finally searched the...

    Jack's "new" 2006 LJ Rubicon

    Had 73k miles when I bought it. I completely agree with the tires. If I still lived in California and had opportunity for a lot more wheelin', I'd probably keep the 33's and maybe add a BL and MML to go with the BB it has on it now. But back to smaller tires for now, figure it'll make it...

    Jack's "new" 2006 LJ Rubicon

    New to the forum, great looking LJ's! Just bought mine less than 2 months ago. Haven't done anything to it but the locker bypass and removed the nerf bars/steps seen in the photo (wife not happy about that). Removed the chrome grill as well, maybe I'll sell it. I have an RE BB with the...

    2005 Rubicon LJ

    New here, John. Just bought an '06 LJ Rubicon myself last week. I like your style and what you've done so far! Hopefully I can get out there one of these days and I can follow you on a trail ride. Just east of you in New Bern. This is my 3rd Jeep but my first with a hardtop. Just love it...
