As a father, I feel a duty to add this on these threads -
Giving your 16 year old daughter a lifted TJ means instant boyfriends.
Those little perverts think they are Parnelli Jones when they see that TJ and everything goes downhill from there .
After that , it's only a few Florida Georgia line songs 'til she ends up living in a van down by the river.
Where is my gun?
Now where were we? What was this thread about?
Keep it around 2" inches , 31-32" tires, put blind spot mirrors on it, show her videos of wrecks without seatbelts ...moreso motorcycle wrecks with no helmet, because that's about what wrecking a Jeep with no seatbelt amounts to , with 3500 more pounds on your head.
All the age old concern about Jeep instability goes back to CJ-5's with big tires , she is fine in a TJ if belted in and drives normal, they are very tough , safe vehicles with a wider wheel base than their predecessors.
Now , back to the little perverts....meet 'em at the door, and say son, I ain't afraid to go BACK to prison. Makes my skin crawl ....
