Well, I started looking at Jeeps for my boy that turns 16 in Feb but won't actually be driving on his own until August- KY requires 6 months of permit. I picked him up what seems like a very solid little Jeep with a VERY nice frame and what seems like a very nice tub.
I bought this jeep to keep him from driving like teenage boys do. I'm trying to instill in him that Jeeps are cool because you just chill when you drive and make it look good. Shoot, even camrys and accords are fast nowadays. He seems to have taken the bait. He's really liking the whole Jeep thing- unfortunately so am I and I'll need one too.
Give me some advice. I've asked a couple die-hard jeeps guys I know and they all say that cheap lifts are terrible. I'm also reading that on here. BUT, I'm not finding what kit we should be looking at.
He's not gonna off-road it. It'll be his daily. Of course he wants 4" and 33's. I'm ok with it and we don't expect it to ride like a Cadillac but it does need the look. There are so many companies and prices it's really confusing- especially being green with Tj's. I'd really prefer not to spend big bucks on tires and a lift then both of us hate driving it.
Any advice would be appreciated and we'll keep digging on here to see if we can come to a conclusion. He's probably gonna get the lift and tires for Christmas so I'm trying to get out in front of this...
