Hi everyone,
okay, so this site is super overwhelming. I’m doing my best to try and navigate it.
I guess what I’d like to ask is...as a new and first time owner of a car I’ve wanted since I was a teenager, where do I start?!
I was able to procure a 2005 LJ in pristine condition with 99k miles on it. From what I can tell it’s pretty bone stock. Except it has brand new 30” tires on it, I think stock were smaller? Am I wrong about that?! God I have a lot to learn.
I guess my first question would be, what would be your first move? Take it to a Jeep specialist to give it a once over and tell me what I need? There’s no rust on it at all and the frame is in great shape. The chrome grill I’m iffy on but that’s easy enough to fix
Anyway I’m loving this thing so far, has a best top soft top on it and I was hoping I could find out where to get an LJ hard top ( winters are cold in Toronto) which I believe are hard to find.
Had the top off already and took the kids for a rip and they loved it. Unfortunately getting the top back on proved more difficult than taking it off...lol but I got it.
Again, I just wanted to reach out and say this site is a mountain of information and I’m going to dig in...but if anyone has some advice on kind of my first steps that would be greatly appreciated.
Actually I have done one mod to it, I ripped out the OEM head unit and popped in a Bluetooth enabled new radio but other than that, pretty stock.
thanks so much everyone and I’m happy to finally be in the game instead of watching from the stands.
cheers
