Behold the glory of YouTube premium and YouTube Music app..... 10 bucks a month. No ads on YouTube or YTMusic.... haven't used Pandora or Google Play Music since. Only thing I use iHeartRadio for now is Dave Ramsey podcasts.

It help with fuel consumption etc.

Used to have a 1st gen 4runner with the 4cyl/5spd. It was on 36s when i got it, lol, had to be FLYING before i could even use 4th.
I have 30s on the Comanche and it cruises beautifully in 5th

That was sarcasm as I don't have a 5th, just a 4spd.

Just PM me the address bro, its yours.

Ya, i dont dig the look of the 30s, lol, but damn she drives good.

She's gonna get bigger tires at some point, but ill be doing gears first. Which will make for some fun driving for a little while. LOL 4.56 gears and 30" tires aughta make for a fairly snappy XJ.

I transported my 3-spd YJ on a trailer with stock 215/75/15s after I swapped in 4.56 axles. Burnouts for days, son!

Man that thing is looking BEASTLY, coming out great!


I finally finished tinting the glass, lol. Leaving the door panels off till paint, but put the bits back on so i can run her around. Taking the kids out in it tomorrow so i checked all the fluids, cooling system flush is definitely in her future!

Tossed a crappy roller in as a "for now" spare. Heres hoping i dont need it till i round up something better, lol.


Part of the $50 score from the parts jeep. Im prepared at least if i get a flat.


And of course, im just prepared, lol.



Speaking of the parts jeep. Texted the guy, because i completely forgot to check when i was out there. It has the C8.25 rear. He said i can have it for... $50.

Hell ****ing yes. Picking it up next weekend.

Even though I don't quite have every piece of the Up Country package installed on Bertram, I did "install" this bad boy.



Well, the defrost elements are in the way and I've got tinted glass, but the best part? It's completely repositionable! Don't like that? There is a permanent adhesive version that sits on the outside of your glass! How? Well it's not OEM, but it's the next best thing (and cheaper, too).

Check it out, PM me if interested. End of plug.

Heads up my friend, this link to your sticker page is dead on here. I tried it with two different browsers. But I can copy and paste it into another page bar and it goes like it should. No space in front of it maybe? These form fields have an issue with that sometimes.

Edit... But it is live in the quote box here in my reply... lol ???
