New to me Jeep

craig333 · Feb 16, 2024

I picked up a 2003 Jeep TJ. Lifted, lockers, pretty much ready to rock crawl as is. While I'm mostly interested in exploring historical and general outdoor stuff she'll be ready for whatever. I don't know what I'll do with a heater that works and ac. Mostly I wanted a Jeep that I don't have to tow everywhere though it'll get plenty of time behind the truck. Apparently it was trailered before as It wasn't even wired up for towing.

Nice TJ Craig !!

Craig, looks like you’re going to have fun exploring (with heat and AC

)

I'm jealous Graig. I've been thinking of going that way also for a comfortable ride but I've invested too much time and love in the old flat fender.

I understand that. I'm not selling the CJ. Too much sentimental value at least for now.

Very nice, Craig! I hope it leads to Big Fun!

I quit mud in my twenties. Looking forward to a trip to Mojave.

What a coincidence -- I also quit mud in my 20's.

Worked on the Jeep today. Warning. Not for the faint of heart. Sometimes things don't go well.

craig333 · Feb 22, 2024

Drill jammed while drilling a hole for the safety chain. Jammed my finger between the drill and the bumper. Not quite sure how I got it free but this was one of those times I knew a bandaid wasn't good enough. Six stitches in all. I'm a bit drill shy at the moment. Am I getting to that age when I need to put the drill down? Nah, I'll get over it

That should heal up nicely. It will be quite sore for a few days. It happens quick, doesn't It? No drilling 'til the stitches are out. Okay?

Ouch!

That’s gunna be tender for a while.

AWG_Pics · Feb 22, 2024

Yikes! It surely hurts. Hope you recover soon, Craig!

craig333 · Feb 23, 2024

A friend of mine felt sorry for me and finished the job! Doesn't hurt as much as I expected.

Wow. Very cool rig! Those are some big shoes.

Ouch- that would've had me cussing up a storm!! I worry about something like that whenever I use my "Hole Hawg". Jeep looks so clean and un-molested and already you'll have fond memories of working on it.
