So, first time Jeep owner here. I bought my son a 2002 TJ and have been jealous ever since. My new solution to the question "What do you want for Christmas/Birthday" for the next several years is a 1997 Wrangler SE. It's a real mall crawler with absolutely no mods, except for the fishing rod holder attached to the front bumper, which I have already removed.
Planned next steps:
1. Remove the complete body and inspect/fix/treat/coat any rust issues - I did not see many when I crawled around under it before I bought it.
2. Monstaliner the whole body in either Predator Green or Apocalypse Orange and black for the top - Opinions welcome!
3. New shoes - BFG ALL-TERRAIN TA KO2 31X10.5R15, keeping wheels until I'm ready for something bigger
4. Maybe a new soft top. We'll see how the funds hold out.
I'll post more pictures as this project progresses.
I'm glad to be aboard and have already received some good advice.
