So this will be the first time I’ve created a build thread on any forum I’ve been a part of. Mainly because I’ve never invested so much effort into a vehicle before. I didn’t start repairing/building with having this thread in mind, so pictures up until now will just pretty much consist of what the ‘after’ looks like.
I’ll start by saying that this is my first jeep, and I’m glad to have purchased a tj. This is a 2003 Rubicon in Inca Gold Metallic, 5 speed. LOVE IT. Had some cheap 4 inch lift on it when I bought it about two months ago. Bought it at 103k miles for $10,750. It had been sitting for about 18 months, and definitely needed some love and attention. I took it to my buddy’s shop, and he gave it some life and got it back to a good point to build on.
Until I get some better pictures, here is what the Jeep looked like the day I brought it home.
