A little bit about myself:
Happily married and father of the two most awesome boys a dad could ever imagine (of course I’m not biased the least bit). I’ve had the 4x4 bug for as long as I can remember, and finally put together enough money to get into a 1997 Wrangler Sport, green 4.0 5-speed with 246k miles. The drivetrain is solid and the body/frame is in even better shape, considering the miles on the clock.
As I bought it, the Jeep came with a 4 inch lift (RC I think) on 33 x 12.50s. I have plenty of mods planned for the long term, but plan to take it slow. It will see more forest trails and mud than rocks in this part of the country. I grew up wrenching with my Dad (Suzuki Samurai) and would like my boys to share that same experience with me. I have already learned a lot from reading this forum as a guest, and I’m looking forward to learning a lot more as I work my way through this Jeep build.
