Any Jeepers in here?

BTW, I have a set of RR Trek 8 wheels, that i was gonna put on my Renegade and never did.
Got em on sale, 4 for $150 each. Also have 5mm spacers to make em fit newer Limited models.
The spacers came w new longer 1 pc lug bolts, so can dump the factory ones that swell and corrode. Spacers were 100 bucks a pair. So I have 800 bucks worth of "wheels" for her Renegade.

Wonder how much I should charge LOL.

I keep looking at a Renegade Trailhawk. Won't buy a '21 or '22 since new facelift is on '23 models.
Dealer has quite a few '22 on lot (recent delivery). Ideally find a 2018 glacier metallic one, low miles and not thrashed.

Of course I score a beater CJ or YJ and I'll forgo another Renegade.
Drove the ol lady in hers to ER this last week, the Renegades are fun.

I'm low buckin things to pay my Cherokee off ASAP.
Man I HATE HATE HATE having a car payment.
Almost hate it as much as late night wrenching to drive my POS to work the next day.
Glad those days are over LOL
Just gotta grumble as an old fart. about having a car payment.

Really like the old ZJs, but they're rotted out by now.
Wiring in doors gets old/stiff and breaks..........even if babied old stuff just deteriorates.
Sucks as I'd drive a 5.2L w 2" budget boost on 31s every day.
had about 15 yrs behind ZJs, like em a lot.

The old lady brought home a '21 Renegade Limited.
She wants Falken Wildpeaks and diff wheels.

My daughter's Reny has Wildpeaks. That little car has snow traction like a cat on Velcro. Truly impressive.

Finally got my buddies 02 Sahara up and running with the Vortec 5.3

What adventure swapping in an engine and its computer and trying to make it all work with the original jeep dash cluster. Just need to tidy up the wires a little bit.

It’s an absolute beast now having a five speed manual versus the old automatic

What 5 speed did you use?

Hadn’t thought about this thread in a while. I sold my XJ. Life changed and was no longer prudent or fiscally responsible for me to own it. I needed something more practical due to the loss of my company car.

A young man was beaming when he drove away in that Jeep. He knew he got one done right.
