This one is being built to see Colorado and without the use of a trailer. I am going to build it to be comfortable on longer highway drives but still very capable once we leave the pavement. L-TJ was very capable off-road but on road was lacking.
So the build plan is pretty basic. It revolves around the use of 32-33" tires which makes things easy, even more so starting with a Rubicon.
I have already removed the BB and the BL & MML are coming out next. Suspension will be 0-1" lift in the rear and 2-3" in the front. Nothing fancy, just dialed in to work well on both highway and off-road.
Fuel tank skid, AEV/Nth transfer case - trans and oil pan skids, HD steering and diff covers.
Basic stuff, I cant wait to get it started though.

Im looking at the pics on my phone so its hard to tell but is it a tj or lj? Enjoyed your last build too. Oh and didnt you have a 67-72 Chevy project going on too? Im pretty deep in a 71 K5 restomod.
I used TJ LD OME's in the rear of L-TJ and TereFlex 3" in the front. That combo worked perfect with no BL and 37's. That is the set-up that I was running when I sold it and by far the best out of the NINE different combos that I tried. I also plan on trying that set-up on The Rubicon when that time comes.
This Jeep has reminded me of what I really love about TJ's. They are just fun to drive and I need a rig that is FUN (not just tolerable) to drive on the street.
Turn for the better is a good way of putting it. I had a "bad taste", so to speak, about the whole "Jeep thing" for a while but that has passed. I just needed to get away from it all for a while.
Though this build will be minimal, I do plan on using parts that you just happen to produce and that just happen to be engineered by one of the best in the business, Mr. B... I will be in touch, Thanks Gerald.
