I'm not understanding - what's wrong with the one you have now? Can't you just build it up how you'd like?
Look at it this way, you've seen what you can do with a poor base and it came out, IMO, great looking. All the little things you didn't like in this build you can avoid or do differently with a solid platform and my guess is it will come out even better!!This one was patched together and repaired from a bucket of rust to be what it is now, and don't get me wrong it was done well by the people I got to work on it, but it's all the little imperfections, and all the patchwork that can be seen underneath. For me it just comes down to not having enough faith that this current TJ is going to be alive in another 5 years. I don't want to sink a bunch of money into parts and upgrades, just to have the body or frame start to deteriorate away in the next few years.
I'd just love the opportunity to find a rust free TJ to use as a base, and something that hasn't been pieced together by 10 different people before I got my hands on it lol
And living on the coast, and somewhere the roads get salted every winter, it would be awesome to have the peace of mind of a blank slate that I can rust proof right from the start, and build on something that will at least have a better chance at lasting the test of time lol
An extra 15-20k for a Jeep project just leaves lots of options to explore.

You wouldn’t be the first to have two tjs! But really, you need an LJThat's kind of where my mindset is right now.
It's been a frustrating back and forth in my head, sometimes I even jump to a scenario where I have 2 TJs....I'm a wreck hahah

After taking a trip with my friends who have an LJ...I can't believe how much more room they have. Its crazy how much extra stuff you can fit with only an extra foot and a half of space.Man don't think that thought hasn't crossed my mind either haha
From the standpoint of someone who does a lot of camping with their Jeep, an LJ would elevate things a lot comfort wise lol
Anyone know of a good overall guide on how to rust proof a vehicle? I've got my TJ and another project vehicle ('60s ford product) that are going to need protection from the elements....I can rust proof right from the start...
