What did everybody get for Jeepmas?

I got some new mirrors. I can't wait to bang these on a tree.

Arvin, read this:

My wife got new BFGs, new OEM stamped steel wheels, new boomarang rear shackles and new currie front towbar shackles and a new towbar and a "snakelight style" dash light. Lucky girl. I got to work on a Jeep for Christmas tho. :^)

Didn't get diddly for X-Mass just some chrome for the bike but for my birthday in February I will be getting a brand new shinny 04 TJ model TBD.

My very first new one, I have restored 5 in the past from a 44 willies to a

Now on the other hand, Santa delivered a brand new shinny 04 Grand Cherokee fully loaded for the wife.

Wifey got me a Big Tex flatbed trailer to bring the Jeep to far-flung trailheads. I flat towed a lot with my Ford Superduty and occasionally, panic stops were real puckerish. The trailer brakes will help with that. And now I can back up!

My wife got me a $35 gift card for AutoZone so I can buy a tail pipe for the CJ7 my inlaws got me a battery Jump-Pack/Power inverter/flashlight/air compressor to carry along incase of emergency. My dad gave me $ to buy a hitch for the Grand Cherokee My mom gave me $ to buy a new recliner so I can relax after working on the Jeep.

Got nothing new for the Jeep for Christmas!

BUT over the past 2-3 months, it did get:

- new Dynatrac Pro-Rock60 frontend and HD hi-steering,

- two new front RS9000X (RS99036s) shocks (I moved the RS9012s that were up front to the back),

- front long-travel shock hoops (M.O.R.E)

- extended bump stops (M.O.R.E.)

- refabricated the rear upper shock mounts so the shocks sit at about a 45degree angle using XJ lower mounts (gained over 4 inches of shock length/travel - desperately needed on the YJ rear).

Given this list, if I would have mentioned "Jeep" at Christmas my wife would have shot me in the ass. Ouch. :)

Hey Cal, what are "Mega-shackles"? Also, why bother with the rear trackbar on the YJ? Some will tell you it is for safety purposes on the road, but I ditched mine about 10 yrs ago and haven't noticed a bit of difference in handling.

i agree. i have never seen any difference in handling after removing the trackbar on a leaf sprung jeep.

The ZJ got

Oh well.

If ya read it fast it almost sounds like the countdown in the "Twelve days of Christmas"

Not a darn thing for the Jeep this year. =(

I think I need to get mine tuned... I don't know for sure though. I haven't done anything other than install it and use it a couple of times.

I got a nice set of seat covers.

And some nice long clamps for repairs on things like my 'glass body and a couple nice flashlights, a Coleman and a mini Mag light.
