Like my build? Now For Sale:
https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/for-sale-2000-jeep-wrangler-sport.13070/
The Jeep is a 2000 4.0L Auto, I believe it has rear Dana 44's
Here are some pictures of my Jeep that I bought 2/22. I'm starting to research some builds, I think I don't want anything too crazy, something to make it have a bit better stance while still driving well on roads, and being able to handle light rock crawling/offroading. I wouldn't mind going an overland direction also, I love backpacking, camping, etc and being able to have a utility vehicle that can go anywhere and set up camp with not much work is appealing to me. Probably a lot of the work will be done by a shop as I live in the city and don't really have anywhere to work (or that much mechanical know-how)
I'm mainly in the research stage right now and looking at these parts below looking for advice, I was wondering if I was missing anything obvious especially if I went with doing the short term all in one go, or if any of the parts could be cut. I've been reading a lot of Chris's build and like a lot of the things he's doing to his new Jeep.
