Do any of you know if there is anything to look out for on TJ's?
I had a TJ & really liked it. My daughter drives it now. Dont install a locker on the stock D35 rear differential... they are prone to snap the axles when locked (even with the 4 cylinder engine). If he wants to lock an axle, the front D30 will be fine.

Other than that... tell him to have fun!

There is an old scrambler in the parking lot. I'd take a picture but that would be a violation of the department policies. Sorry!

I don't understand, it would be a violation of your departments policies because the vehicle is in the company parking lot?

alright thanks! ill be sure and tell him that. I doubt he will be doing much to it anytime soon though. Do you know if the stock springs from our jeeps would fit in the TJ's? Cause i am worried his springs may fail soon and i always have my stock springs as back up.

I am fairly certain that the JK springs would be a no-go in a TJ.

Yeah, thats what i was thinking. Just didnt know if there was a chance of the same size of seat for the springs. Oh well...hope his springs hold up.

All i know is i cant wait for fall so the jeep can just stay stripped 24/7
