Reno and surrounding areas: Official spotted, BS, and meets thread

Shoulda bought the LJ

I’ll give you a crisp high five for the bumper so you don’t have to deal with the burden of storing it

 

A) The LJ already had a deposit on it, so it's 50/50 if I could have bought it anyways
B) The LJ was built decently, but it's not how I would have built it. But it was built well.
C) 4 door JK gives usable room like the LJ, and we can fold the seats down flat and basically get the same cargo area
D) The JK is pristine. I can put a couple grand into it and make it what the LJ is, because I have f/r lockers, a swaybar disconnect, and a 4:1 t/c on a stock jeep. A short arm lift to the tune of about 3.5" and I'm ready to go out of the box.
E) The LJ had more miles and taller axles gears.
F) I got the JK for $2k cheaper than the LJ
G) It's my money, get rekt

 

Anyone going near grass valley in the next few weeks and could do a little TW express on some skid plates? Goin just there and back doesn’t sound super fun lol

 

I wish there was a way to thumbs down a post… sell jk and Tacoma and get a gladiator.. and then tell me how it is so I can know if it’s a good idea

 

Allow me

wah wah jeep brand is shit nowadays and the last REAL JEEP was the TJ and LJ. Chrysler Jeep Dodge went to shit the second Fiat bought it and Stellantis is garbage now. I got lucky with mint service records and this thing will outwheel the Taco even If I dumped 15k into mine ---- What @kairo is gonna tell you

 

Best jeep I ever owned was my '82 CJ7 on scout D44s. It had the 258 i6 with the nutter bypass. 2n'd best was my '95 XJ on 33's with enough armor to fight a battleship in a broadside.

 

You graduated college like 3 months ago. You don't have a useful opinion on gas prices, much less jeep valuation

 

If my dad wasn't a cheap bastard in 1996 when he bought that XJ I had as my first car, I'd be driving it around today and wouldn't know any of you.

Who buys a 2 wheel drive XJ??? Some guy bought It from him just for the interior and Doors lol

 

What’s the go-to for exhaust re routes? Just the small section that goes under the T case.

 

Spent some time on the interior today. Stupid 14 year old jeep looks factory new lol



And more rear legroom than a crew cab tacoma...

 

Even the engine bay was clean

 

McVays has always done me right.

 

also went to McVays for the same t-case reroute probably 6-7 years ago, no issues thus far!

 

You do realize that the LJ is also a TJ?

 

Same but people talk about LJ’s like unicorns and TJs as some old 90’s jeep and nothing more

 

This is the same guy that wants me to write him a personal letter of recommendation to Navy flight school. If he can't tell his jeeps apart, who's to say he climbs into the cockpit of an obsolete F4 and thinks it's an F/A 18.

These damn youths.

 

Geico raised my rates twice in a year after like 15 years with them and 4 vehicles and 0 accidents so I told them to get bent and went with progressive which was cheaper than geico ever was so… shop around.

 

We got diesel gladiators before 70 series pickups and that makes me really sad.

 

Couldn’t hear the wind whipping and opened my door, hand slipped off and it swung way hard. Can hear a slight rubbing of door on fender noise when the doors about a foot from closed. Not awful but don’t want it to get worse so, any suggestions?

Not sure what to look for/how to fix. Any of you have experience DIY fixing? Or Any places in town yall like for little fixes like this?

 

Turn your car 180° and let the same thing happen. It'll fix it right up
