Damn, I like your style. With your aggressiveness, I predict your build thread will follow/look like this one.

Hah, actually I burnt through more than my initial budget and my very supportive wife has requested I repay some of the "new deck money" I borrowed from first

What I will be doing is creating a list of things I want to change, determine priority, and start piece by piece as I get them. I'm a very novice wrencher so looking forward to the challenge

Just driving/looking at it today there are a few things... the tires rubbing, upgraded brakes... it still has the 4.10 gears, I need either quick disconnects or an antirock... some soft of hide away step for my wife (she's a bit under 5' lol )...

it's a long term project, just thrilled to have a great base to start with.

plan is to find a club or two in the area and start some wheelin, learn/upgrade as I go... this is NOT a daily driver

That rubbing at full lock issue is so easy to fix it’s almost a joke! There’s a how to article on the forum for fixing it. When I get back to my desktop computer, I’ll find it for you.

Here's that thread I promised:
How to adjust the steering stops on your TJ

That will stop the rubbing entirely.

Probably a good thing! When you get 10-13 mpg in your daily driver, life can get quite expensive!

Awesome, that looks like it will definitely fit the bill... thanks again!

Here's a fold away step for the wife.

I use something similar for mine with a string in it to pull it in behind you. (although she's getting used to the height these days)

Nice LJ! I saw when Chris posted this and thought it looked nice. Already on 35s which is kind of needed on an LJ too IMO

What build thread? That thing seems to have all you could want already...@DaveF, great LJR, congratulations!

Looking to buy an LJ Rubicon, Auto/air. I'm in the Seattle area, but willing to look outside the area. Budget allows for up to 25k (maybe a bit more) depending on mileage/setup/condition.
