Hey ya' ll just checkin in to say hello. Have a 2011 JK Rubicon and just got envious after 5 years of living next to a TJ owner - decided to pick up a 2001 TJ 4.0 a couple weeks ago and love it!

So far added some Rubicon wheels/tires, small light bar, front bumper, black magic brakes, Hella e code headlights and heat shield for the footwells (these things get super hot!)

Congratulations, she looks really nice! Like the Rubicon tires. I'm a new TJ owner too, since December. It's been fun so far, but costing!

What bumper is that? I like it, just what I'm looking for...Is it the stock with the ends removed and a bar added on top?

Thanks man! Tell me about it, my wife learned from the first Jeep and now she scouts my amazon cart daily.

The bumper is made by Rock Hard - bought it from my neighbor.
 
Rock Hard is doing it right. Just checked their site. They're welding the recovery mount on front and back, not bad price. 100% made in America! I like the narrow version...Thanks, and have fun trying to hide your amazon cart
 
Great looking TJ! So now you've got a JK Rubicon and a TJ! Which one do you find yourself driving more often?
 
Welcome! Good looking TJ. Silver is the best color!! Hahahahaaa!

Thanks all. I've been driving the TJ daily; I think I have driven the JK once to haul the kids bikes. Definitely have to get used to the lack of storage in a 2 door.

No kidding, we come up with creative ways to store stuff in the TJ, that's for sure.
 
I've had four MTB's on my TJ. Three on a cargo rack I rigged up. The three don't even touch each other. The fourth I laid on top and bungeed to the roll bars. No problem! Who said TJ's lack storage space?

Haha! I found myself using the bungees alot and also realize now that 4 cases of costco water become a challenge with my wife and kids in the car. Lap storage!

Welcome... Nice TJ.

I drove a 2010 model 4dr jeep before buying my TJ, and was sold on the low rpm torque of the 4.0 .
Interior space IS limited, but I've learned to be creative with storage area available.
