What Are You Doing Right Now?

Worked on this one some more today. I think it's going to stay in the fold, which is kind of a bummer because I need to sell some stuff to fund my amp, but I pulled the Suhr SSH+ today and replaced it with an SSV bridge with an A2 magnet swap. Now we're talking, it sounds better than it ever has now and it's a fun guitar to play, my best Warmoth build.

I have a new plan to fund my new amp. I was going to sell my Traditional, but I can't bring myself to let it go. So I'm getting my old 2013 Tribute ready to sell and I have my Melody Maker to sell. One of them is going to pay for a Marshall Origin 20 so I have an amp to play around with while my amp is being built because I'm going to sell my King Kong to pay for my new Ceriatone amp. Those of you that saw my amp thread know what I'm talking about. Those that don't, see my amp thread. :) (seems we don't have a plain smile smiley face, or a regular wink anymore :scratch:)

It's a 2014 Anniversary model with P90s and a thin body.

At first I thought you talking about a wrangler, still a jeep. Some people can live with them others buy Toyota’s. lol
It does look better with wheels and tires.

My wife is just dying to get a Wrangler, I am gritting my teeth. No offense if you if you like them. In general all Chrysler products have some issues.Especially when it comes to electrical.

I like them and also despise them ha ha we have always been a Ford family.

We just put a 4 inch lift on this one yesterday. Tires are just shy of 33's

Yes! Jeeps are notorious for electrical things!
This is my/our fifth jeep Cherokee. Every single one of them have had mystery electrical issues.
This one doesn't have power to the AC/heat console at the moment.

My youngest son and I are building this into a hunting fishing camping project. (He owns a little Honda civic sport)

This has been sitting out back rotting for a few years and we are going through its resurrection phase.
Needs a radiator, and a couple sensors as well.

Ever owned a lifted Jeep?

Ha ha they are a lot of maintenance and the skid plate is on the top!
( roll me back over)

Plus the dreaded Death Wobble!
This one has very minor wobble only between 50 and 55mph.

Jeep stands for Just Empty Every Pocket $$$

No I have never owned a Jeep.
But we did have a 1979 Ford Bronco, I had lifted it 4” and it’s last set of tires were 36” fun country’s, and every so often it would get a death wobble , and you would have to slow down and start over..
It got to the point that I could no longer smog the darn thing and we sold it.

Had a 99 Intrepid. Burned lots of oil at the end. But like you. Would no longer pass emissions test. Was going to cost me more to repair the emission issues than the car could be sold for. And that didn't address the oil burning issue. New engine or complete overhaul was all that was going to fix that. Sent the car down the road for a few bucks and was happy to be rid of it.

I had a Jeep for a short time back in 1990. I don't remember what year, but it was the last year Jeep was owned by AMC, it was a CJ7 with 33"s. I loved that thing. The only reason I sold it was because I had orders to go overseas (Korea 1st then Germany) and they wouldn't let me ship it to Germany because it was lifted and I couldn't afford to store it for 3 years.
 
Laptop seems to be updated for now. Like the milkshake machine at McDonald’s, the key machine at the hardware store was broken. So that errand was a bust. Did stop at Walgreens for a couple shots in the arm. And our sky is hazy from the wildfire smoke from up north.

Think it might be nap time.

Packing up tools to go replace the starter on a 1951 Ford F5 truck. It’s the parade vehicle for the museum I volunteer at. I’m the driver and mechanic.

Bet that one’s easier to replace than the one I helped a friend with back in the 70s. Starter died on his 70 something Plymouth….. in the middle of winter. Under the car we went. Got it done…. But was not a fun time had by all. ;) :pound-hand:
