been a while got a new toy to go golfing

[jdub]

its been a while since I had the chance to log on, my old golf cart was getting to cramped to put clubs in(99 miata) so I have to upgrade to something that could get me to the course that took any weather or terrain to get to..

I opted for this baby 7 inch lift on 35 inch tires

al gore can kiss my ass because this beast gets about 7 mpg highway :-)

so since I have my new toy I am always out golfing now and its the best decision I ever made







the other day I went trailing in mud for 2 hours straight... drove her right to the golf course after wards




just figured I would let yall know my dedication to the game

Good lookin' CJ!!!! They may not get the best mpg... but who cares!!! If you wanted mpg, you could have got a Prius and not had half the fun!!!

Do be extremely careful with what you leave in the CJ! Those are a favorite of scumbags wanting to steal clubs, etc. The canvas top doesn't allow much in the way of security.

Be careful out there!!! Even though they are virtually indestructable, they will go over. When you do get 'er stuck... When she's buried to the axle... When she's high centered on the gopher hill... give me a call. My Silverado and I will come give you a tow!!!!!!!!! LOL

What the hell does this have to do with golf?

Anyways.. be weary of what you leave in view.. I don't think I know anyone with a Jeep that hasn't had their car gone through by strangers.

That chopper looks sweet!

You do any of the build?

I used to leave my doors unlocked so thieves wouldn't cut the top on their way in.

You should easily knock down 15+ mpg unless it's an earlier 3-speed automatic, even then you should be 12+. Speedo's probably wrong as hell making you think you're getting worse mpg than you are, and think you're going a lot slower than you really are. You can get the appropriate speedo gear at the dealer for about $10, and it's an easy 10 minute install.

Get rid of those nerf bars.

Actually, that's a TJ Sport with a 4.0L I6, late 90's thru 2003 model (I think) based on the mirrors, bushwacker flares, body lift, mud tires...(I have an 04 LJ)

How is the 7" of lift made up, and have I seen those pics on a Jeep site before? Looks familiar.

[jdub]

insurance cost me 8 dollars extra a month for a 0 deduct plan that covers any theft, broken windshields, windows, tops, stolen parts of anything

so basicly anything stolen or robbed from the jeep is covered

I am not a guy that buys a jeep to drive highway.. I want to go the scenic route

heres some pics of my adventure to chadwick in the day

sadly the lift is a 3 inch body and a 4 inch suspension but it gets the job done





went with a 15 jeep convoy at about 8 at night in pitch black... was awesome

yup its a 99 tj 4.0l sport

bushwacker flares, procomp lift, body lift, steering stabalizer, trailjammer intake, trailjammer large throttle body, trailjammer programmer module, flowmaster exhaust, tons more parts

Speedo gears are in the $70 range now at the dealer...at least, they are for mine.

[jdub]

nah its the giant lift and tires causing horrible mpg

[MCDavis]

I thought that looked like a big body lift. You could change that to a 1" and still clear the 35's with ease, you know.

[jdub]

ya but to me the bigger the better, if I roll it I will just flip it back over thats what a jeeps made for

[MCDavis]

I'm a big believer in "It's your Jeep and your money, so do what you want"...as opposed to the opinions on some forums. Like the nerfs, for example: I've got chrome ones on mine (on there when I bought it). Not my favorite, but there's nothing wrong with them and they work great for my kids. So, I'll leave them until I mess them up, or I come across a great deal on some sliders.

I did replace the tube bumpers, but not until I got deals on the replacements.

The jeep looks nice, btw!

[jdub]

thanks, I left the steps on for protection and to help the shorter chicks get in my ride

I already bought a bumper that can handle being pulled

[MCDavis]

I put the Mopar rockcrawler front/rear bumpers on mine. Like the way they look, and got both for less $$ than the front cost retail.

Holy hell! I had to Google it to make myself believe you (no offense - that's just a huge price for something that used to be so cheap.) No joke, I bought mine a few years ago at the dealer for either $7.99 or $8.99 for my '97. That's nuts.

No, it isn't. Either your speedo is horriby wrong or your exhaust manifold is cracked. Both are likely. Mine looked like this and very easily got ~14mpg in city driving and ~16mpg hwy. It got about 10mpg while the exhaust manifold was cracked.
