Hello all! I have finally taken the time to join the Forum, can't believe it actually took me this long... I own a 2002 Jeep Tj Apex edition that I have cherished since I bought it in 2013. The build has taken me way longer than expected but it sure has been a great experience.
About a year after I bought the Jeep the motor stated to burn oil like there was no tomorrow. This ended up calling for a new 4.0 (ouch). About 6 months after that the tranny blew a line and drained all the fluid out on the freeway, thus cooking itself. So a new tranny was built. After that I noticed the dana 30 was bent and decided to get G2 dana 44's.
The Jeep is now lifted with a ProComp Stage-2 4" lift with 33" BFG KM2's and Method Race wheels. I finally got Fox shocks and am very pleased, but probably could have lived with something less expensive. I have a Smittybilt Hard top with a GoRhino roof rack, what an improvement over the soft top!
I wish I could get the Jeep out as much as I used to. It's now an every other weekend warrior and sometime a Friday rig to make the drive to work a bit more entertaining.
I will upload more photos later, I don't have many on my work computer.
