Ah man... that sucks. End of an era, reminds me of when i sold the Golden Badger. I trust the money will come in handy though. On the plus side, you aren't Jeepless! Now you can focus on the silver one, get it where you want it.


I got my 6x9s installed, its so nice actually being able to hear my music, lol. Apparently the other speakers are due in tomorrow, so i stripped and mocked up the speaker bar. Fake-Dynamatted the back and bedlined the outside.

Finally got the power steering pump changed and the tensioner collar replaced.

Its nice ice not having to tighten the belt with a pry bar and getting proper tension.

Steering is is lighter and doesn’t make noise turning anymore.

Next up: zj tie rod and ends and replacing all the drag link ends as well.
New battery tie down.

Hopefully all my parts come in time for a weekend trip over medano pass next weekend.

Anyone in colorado planning any wheeling trips trips let me know.

Unfortunately you are incorrect in this statement. He sold the silver one before the white one. He is Jeepless.

sorry buddy. Sold the silver one a few weeks ago too. I am officially Jeepless. Dont worry though, it normally doesnt last long. I'll keep my eyes open for another good deal. For now, I am going to dump a little money in the Evo and prep it for future track days. Need moar power haha. Racing is addicting. Take that BMW to an autocross event and I guarantee you will be hooked.

btw - if you haven't shipped that shift **** out, dont. Guess I dont need it anymore.

Ran a couple local events in my old E36, SO much fun. Used to run my fobody Mustangs at the drags too. Equally addictive... and equally expensive, lol.

You never got the shift ****?? Lol i wonder if i wrote the address wrong. Wouldnt surprise me.

Well **** man, sorry to hear you're currently Jeepless, but the right deal is bound to pop up.

Well why haven't you taken the green machine to autocross yet!? Too busy painting a Jeep or something? I used to drag race my 70 Camaro. Had a blast as well but autocross is more my style.

Shift **** has not shown up. Didn't think it went out yet haha. Let me double check the address I gave you.

I'm not too worried about being Jeepless. Honestly, I think the next one might be a full size early Cherokee. LS swapped of course.

Lol yeah its time consuming. But mostly cause its my daily. And you know how that goes, once you start down that road... My 96 was slammed, stiff as a washboard, full exhaust, chipped, gears, gutted of all sound deadening/insulation, etc etc...

It was fast as **** and cornered like it was on rails. It was also MISERABLE to drive on the street. Lol, i like the fact that the green one is actually a nice car.


Ok, lets see. Swapped out the door speakers and set up the speaker bar.


And after lots and LOTS of scrubbing, got all my interior plastics put back in after laying in some more knockoff Dynamat.
