I'm guessing the old guy in a new 4 door didn't wave back to you. Jeep (and it's culture) as we knew it has been dead for years. (owner of a 99 XJ)

Waves at her. She posted on Facebook that some weirdo was flirting with her.... Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

You put on a tie and go to the tea party, too. I miss my 98 TJ sport. The truck I have now has more people space, more cargo space, a better ride, a better radio, and air conditioning with about the same fuel economy. Still, I miss the Jeep. |

Clutch release bearing exploded and water pump started leaking in two week period on my 04 TJ
Still has a sticky lifter that needs to be replaced. Of course unlike the older 4.2 I have to pull the entire head to get to one failed lifter. Dana 35 ate its pinion bearings a couple years back. Really no reason why. Lube changed on regular basis. Jeep thing indeed. Thank god I have a garage and tools. |

I had a 1987 Jeep Cherokee. I called it the FrakenJeep because it was a mish-mosh of Chrysler/Ford and AMC parts. It needed a transmission so I found one with the same model number as the one I had in mine and it wouldn't fit. Eventually I got tired of trying to find one and I sold it to some kid in Colorado who was going to turn it into a rock crawler. Don't know that he ever did though. I did like it and wish I could've found a transmission for it.

On a related note, my Jeep will be paid off in two weeks. I've successfully managed to leave it pretty much as-is since I bought it - including the chrome wheels that I hate. Starting next month, what was my loan payment is going to go into fixing and upgrading stuff.
The tires I have on it are 31x10.5". I'm thinking of upgrading them to 33x10.5" when it's time to replace them, but don't plan to go bigger than that. It's got a 2.5L i4, 4.10 gears, and a Ford 8.8" rear end under it. I'm thinking the first orders of business are new wheels - probably black steelies. After that, I'll take off those chrome nerf bars and replace them with armor or at least something that isn't shiny. Then I'm looking at a ~3" OME lift and will be replacing the front axle (currently a Dana 30). Then it'll be fixing the heater (clogged core) and radio (cuts out at high volume). Then I'll look at the expensive stuff... |

We went to TN this past weekend to a big Jeep event in Pigeon Forge. I made the executive decision to drive our new Cherokee Trailhawk instead of the Rubicon since it's so much more comfortable and there wouldn't be any off roading to speak of. Needless to say, we were shunned while we were down there. So I made a game out of parking next to other Jeeps and taking pictures of the Trailhawk next to them. That was kind of fun.
PS out of the thousands of fellow Jeepers down there, we only got waves for two or three
These guys parked across the lot from me. Didn't want the Jeep cooties? 
Aw hell, i'll share'm! 
Mall crawling @ Fuddruckers 
Oh yea!

Mine started going through axle bearings every 5k miles - the last time, one of the balls made its way back to the ring and pinion, and fucked it up real good. I strongly recommend the Ford 8.8" kits from East Coast Gear Supply. I have about $2k in mine, and it's twice as strong as the Dana and has all new parts. |

Jeepers are worse the motorcycle riders.
