The old app uses HTTP instead of HTTPS. They made the site more secure, and the old app no longer functions as a result. It isn't an easy fix, and the old app has been officially unsupported for a couple years.

I don't think we ever officially had Tapatalk. The current app is Garage Talk. It has its problems, but I use it. Alternatively, many people have said using the mobile site is the best option.

I'm not all that happy about it either, but it's the result of a more secure website. Unavoidable.

Side note, where the hell can I get a CF sticker? Lol, if anybody can PM me a link or whatever it'd be greatly appreciated.

Replaced radiator, e-fan and Tstat in the '96. Dropped the radiator in from the top. Easy. Also removed the heat control valve which was leaking.

Crown Auto radiator $135
Ebay E-fan $45

On a side note, you have 666 posts
So you are saying i should set it closer to 35-40° the way I am meauring? Would that help more up travel? I cant get the bump stop to hit how it is. I actually havent been about to find any sorts of ruts or mounds to get this thing to pull a wheel off the ground yet. Its twist very good.

Jeep is washed, compounded, and waxed. Hopefully tomorrow I will finish detailing the tires, wheels, and interior. Want to get maintenance out of the way so I can start on the projects I have to do.

For the CF sticker. Not sure if this is still current.

Finished painting my CavFab 3-link crossmemeber. And finished fitting/welding/grinding my Dirtbound offroad DIY bumper.

Now I'm about to crack a beer, have some buddies over and BBQ this evening.

Sweet, thanks man, ordered two!

That is Duplicolor BedArmor in "Sandstorm", straight outta the rattlecan. Careful prep and patient application, and this stuff has held up to all manner of tree branches, flying mud & gravel, etc.

The paintjob on the jeep looked fine when I got it, but the scrub-brush and tree branches were trashing the sides. I went with this cause I figured it'd make touch ups easier. Lol, this stuff is tough, almost a year of abuse and I have yet to do any touch ups.

good news everyone!

got the trans cooler lines built(kinda, revision is needed) trans filled, replaced the #1 coil and bank 1 coil harness. re installed the drive shaft


IT SHIFTS! drove it around town about 10 miles before stopping to wash all the grime off it then threw the winch bumper back on, looks like ive got a cali lean going since the ls swap is around 200lbs lighter than the 4.0/aw4.

still have lots of little stuff left, but that will wait till after its road legal again
