They aren't gonna be cheap and easy to fix like XJs and CJ/YJs. These are expensive problems to fix.

been thinking about how i want to organized all the junk in my jeep, whipped this up in sketchup.
i wanted to have a flat deck to set stuff on and be able to keep my tire in the back(i dont care for a tire carrier to much cause it blocks the crap out of my view lol) the drawer will hold all recovery gear smaller trail spare stuff, tools
will probably have a drop down door to cover the spare to make it look cleaner
and ill install some sort of tie downs on the deck as well
i am also aware the wheel wells are quite right but most measurements were guesses as i did not want to go measure stuff haha

The oldest TJs aren't 20yo yet, and they're plagued with electrical and transmission problems. The oldest JKs are 9 years old and have even more electrical problems, with questionable engines and unproven transmissions.
They aren't gonna be cheap and easy to fix like XJs and CJ/YJs. These are expensive problems to fix.

Unfortunately sooner or later the supply of Xjs is going to dry up and we will be left looking for something else to drive. I am watching the prices of JKs, still way out of my price range, but the only option if you want to stay with Jeep and solid axles front and rear

I broke my engine. Sad to say but it went out in a cloud of smoke, lots of noise, and horrible smell.
Limped it the 1/2 mile back home. At 215,000 miles I'm lost as to keeping or junking.

Every time I put in an angle bracket to signify "less than," it deletes the rest of my edit from that point.

Finally got the exhaust put back together so I could drive it without passing out from the fumes 
And it looks like my caster adjustment also tweaked the angle on the Trackbar/Draglink so my bumpsteer/tramlining/wandering appears to be GONE

I was driving home from work in my J10, and a tractor trailer merged into my lane next to me. Forced me down a 20mph exit at 70+, and I was sideways through the whole turn.
Truck is fine. I'm fine. One hell of an adrenaline rush! I still can't sit still, and it's been 20 minutes
