Okay, so like the title says, this is gonna be a pretty slow, boring thread, but I was smart enough to save about a year and a half worth of pics to start the thread off. The basic build plan is to make a reliable, lightweight (and most importantly, daily-able) Jeep on 31s and roughly a 2 inch lift.
For background, I'm a first first year business student and currently commute about 20 minutes each way to school about 2-3 times a week for class. since I commute, I need to keep the Jeep reliable and DD-able, and I am working part time in construction, so making more than minimum wage, but not tons and 40s money. My dad had two stock YJ's back when he was in collage, a GMC Sonoma on 33s, before I was born a couple Tacoma's and a 09' FJ when I was little, and he currently has a Gladiator on 35s. so I've been exposed the different flavors of offroad vehicles, but budget and a distaste for 4 door wranglers lead to me buying a TJ in August of 2022.
