I have been down that road, and it is a challenge (not that I ever needed an excuse to indulge myself).  At any rate, that's a beautiful Jeep.  Love the color!  Best of luck to you.

It sounds like you definately need to invest some time and effort back into yourself.  A TJ is a great way to do that.  I had a 2004 TJ for a few years and let me tell you, they are a blast!  While not very practical (horrible gas mileage, no bed to haul anything in, not enough torque to really pull anything, etc..) they are a blast to bomb around in.  It was really fun for my wife and little girl to load up, take the hard top off, and drive around the lake or wildlife area and look at deer......especially this time of year!

Enjoy!!!!

PS.....a small 2 1/2" or 3" lift works perfect for these without messing up your driveline angle too bad.  ;)

Well, after all those issues I can only say I wish you well and hope everything smooths out and you can enjoy some calm times in your life.

Nice ride Jeeper, sounds like you could use a little R&R.
After the bikini top you'll probably be thinking of a couple other small mods like lift kit, skid plates, rock rails, 35" tires, winch, lockers, ??

I recently bought a 2001 TJ as my daily driver. It's been a long time since the Cj3a has been worked on in any significant manner. Lot's of things demanding my time, mostly aging parents and terminally ill oldest brother. After 18 months, lot's of hospital visits, 2 funerals, a move to assisted living and engaging hospice (Dad is 92 and still going) I decided that I needed something to satisfy my jeep cravings.

I bought this 2001 TJ. It's got the inline 6 with A/C (for the queen), cruise and a hard top. I bought it with the hard top as winter is coming and this Florida boy gets cold easily. Come Spring, I'll put a bikini top on it. With only 108K on it there are lot's of miles left on the engine.

I am truly having a good time with this jeep. It's inspiring me to get back to the 3a. Hopefully things have calmed down and we can get to a new 'normal'.
