We will start with a history of my Jeep named Gem
I bought a bone stock Jeep TJ in upstate NY in 2015.
I've always been of the mind that you take things out and fix what breaks.
Well... things broke. Every time I brought it out. First thing I did was pull the radio and speakers.
Next- I destroyed the rear tire and in the process of removing it I realized the rim was all but fused to the axle. Had to cut that out.
Then I found some half decent 33's with rims and spacers. The spacer failed. (Never going that route again) and on the same trip pushed my steps up on an angle.
Remedy for that was to buy some awesome Boat Sides.
Then the rear brakes failed catastrophically.
So I replaced every component of that (to include the lines, master cylinder and brake booster)
So here I am with a Jeep that all of a sudden became a huge project. We started taking apart the front just to replace some small parts. NOW I have nothing in the Jeep except the frame, body, axles and tires.
This has been an excruciating learning process but, I couldn't be happier about it. This will be a frame up build and will likely take me years to accomplish.
