Here’s a picture of my 2000 TJ. I ordered it from the Fleet Salesman with a rear Dana 44. I lifted it a week later; 4.5” RE Super Flex, Tera-low 4:1, SYE, Short shaft, and Tom Woods Double Cardan Driveshaft. Back then there weren’t a lot of lift and wheel choices so I settled for these with BFG 35 x 12.50 x 15’s and I also added Sun Performance Rock sliders and removed all the plastic and rubber from the stock bumpers. I cut the factory tire mount down and welded it to a plate so I could center it on the tailgate and raise it. This was my daily driver for 10 years with no issues. I lived in Georgetown, Ca and worked in Sacramento, so it was driven on road every day and has about 20 Rubicon trips on it as well as a few other local trails.

It’s changed a little over the years but it is still driven on and off road regularly, no vibrations, no death wobble. With exception to the ATX Slab Beadlocks, it still has the original mods that I did 19 years ago, plus a few more. It’s my favorite vehicle to drive still.

Thanks for the welcome lowranger, that’s a nice looking TJ you have there.
Thank you! Same year as yours. You have yours set up great....looks good too. Kinda partial to yellow. I had a 1974 CJ-5 that I bought in 1976, had it for 13 years....it was yellow. I did a lot of hunting with it and drove it daily.
 
Did you add a front locker on your Jeep? The picture of you coming up the escalator in Moab, I'm thinking you have to have a front locker. That is really good that you have pretty much the same modes that you first added after all the Rubicon trips and Moab and the other trails.

Yes I have front and rear ARB Air Lockers. I went with G2 Core 44’s with 5.38’s
