Made a wall storage area for the soft top.
Ladder hangers and large clamps from Harbor Freight.

Put the hard top and full doors on. Washed all the cobwebs off.
The top has not been on in almost 2 years.
The wiper/washer/defrost even still work.

Ready for snow? Most likely the mall. :oops:

Good for you. My thing just sits and drips fluid onto cardboard.

I replaced my 5.5" springs with 3.5" springs on my LJ. Was tired of the body roll around corners and behavior in crosswinds. Have some minor track bar adjustments to make today. :thu:

Still have 6" between the bottom edge of the plastic fender flare and the top of the tire.

Well... I did something spontaneous over the weekend... traded away my little red LJ for this:

If anyone is interested in the LJ, it is at the Lithia Jeep dealership in Kennewick.

Yep... new rig is certainly not as "rock worthy" as the LJ... but the JKUR will fill a dual-purpose role as a daily driver and family wheeler. I'll be shopping for a salvage / cheap TJ for a more carefree (don't need to drive it to work Monday morning) trail rig that I can push to it's limits. :cool:
