Howdy folks, I'm a long a time jeep owner. My first jeep was a base '91 YJ 2 liter that I drove off the lot in winter of '91. I never did any mods to it beyond a stereo and homemade bumpers. That jeep did, however, see a lot of trails throughout north Texas, New Mexico and Colorado. In the summer of '99 I bought a stock '98 TJ that was previously owned by the dealership owner and only had 100 miles on it. Evidently he only drove it around the dealership with the top down. It has been my DD since. Originally from Dallas Texas I moved to Oregon in 2000. Maynard's primary off roading was muddy and snowy forest roads. I now live in Phoenix and want to start exploring Arizona's back roads and trails. So it's time to upgrade the suspension and do some restoration work. In the 20 years I've owned my TJ I've only had it in the shop once. That was to rebuild my rear diff. All other work I've done myself. Thanks in large part to this site and of course a Haynes manual which I no longer use. Anyway, hope to see some fellow Arizona jeepers on the trails.
