Found my unicorn

Update: PICS!

Just bought an ‘06 LJR after driving a ‘97 TJ for the last 10+ years. I have plans; I’m open to ideas. What’s good, what’s bad, what should I do/fix/build first?

Congratulations!

First you should post some pics of it so we can be jealous!!!

First things first, ditch the chrome grill!

If he likes it then there isn't any reason to ditch it. I'm not a chrome fan either but it's not my Jeep nor my funds being used to make it the way the OP wants it.

I’m not a fan of chrome either, but cosmetic improvements are a low priority. Function is second to form right now.

Be very careful. We like to spend other people's money.

Get rid of those candles aka sealed beam headlights and get an H4 conversion set or a set of quality LED headlights.

And great find ️ nice color.
Looks like a great base for a nice build.

If the Toyota lights are still available, get them. It's the best deal out there for real glass lens H4s.

X2, the toyota kit is the best bang for your buck for H4s

What do you want to do with it? What are your goals? That will help guide our suggestions. If you want a road warrior that will only see very light trail use, I’m going to give you a lot different recommendations than if you want to rock crawl.

A very nice find indeed. We need/want more details and pics!

It looks like this is one of 308 US LJRs in that color.

 

[Hog]

Looks great just the way it is.. enjoy!!

 

[BLindzy]

First thing you should do is trade me even up for my 97 TJ! I'm sure you miss yours.

I'm showing 497 total between 05 and 06 on this color on the list I have. Either way its still green, so its definitely one of the best colors.

Should have been more specific, i.e. 308 US 2005 LJRs in that color.

Thats kinda what i was figuring, my color list isn't broken out by US and Export Just by models and years.

I have a set of JW Speaker LED lights I’ll be installing.
