Here is a list of what has been done to the Jeep so far, and each thing is linked to its post.
So tonight I picked up my 2005 TJ Rubicon. It has 160,000 km (100,000 miles) on it, and is a 6 speed. The lady I bought it from owned it for 6 years, and kept all receipts for the work done on it, and kept it undercoated. It's in good shape, but has the typical TJ rusty fenders and windshield frame.
So, the build plans.... Nothing major on this one. 2" lift, and maybe a 1" body lift, and later down the road, a tummy tuck. Also no bigger than 33" tires. Tires also won't come until new ones are needed. Right now it has 31" Toyo AT's that are still in very good shape.
I don't have much for pics now, but will try to grab more tomorrow.
