Incase you missed out on my last two builds, the first one was my 2005 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, followed by Project Pissed Off Wife: A Story of Indecision and Frivolous Spending. Unfortunately I had to sell my last TJ to @toximus, as I owed the IRS 28k in backed taxes from 2008 when I was an idiot. They had put a lien on my house, and I didn't know what else to do. I didn't want to sell it, and I knew I would just end up replacing it with another TJ.
So maybe it's true what they say, the third time is a charm, right? I needed something to replace my last TJ, which was I regret selling, but unfortunately had no choice in the matter.
After moving to Arizona I've found that what I really enjoy doing the most isn't rock crawling, it's "exploring". Here in Arizona there is tons of exploring to do, so I'm going to try to build a mild TJ that will handle that sort of stuff without going overboard and being more than I need. I want a TJ that will still be very fun to drive on-road, but will also allow me to go off the beaten path and get me to my mountain biking and hiking destinations, shooting spots in the desert, and also allow me to tackle some more mild trails with the sole intent of exploring.
So what's the plan with this one? I'm going to keep it simple and resist the constant urge from people on this forum to build something I don't actually need. I've owned enough TJs to know that 35s and a huge lift is great for off-roading, but it sucks big time when it comes to driving on-road.
