Operation Desert Squirrel
Well as a lot of people know, I sold my 03 Rubicon a couple months ago to fund a trail rig and a DD.
Today I bought a 97 TJ. Specs are on my profile. I pick it up on friday and this should be a fun build!

Here we go... i bet this will turn out great... How many miles? Defiantly want to regear that thing if you plan on putting some good size tires on it.

175k, but it was cheap and a trail rig. No rust and has never really done any harder offroading other than dirt roads

So you have a Trail rig and a DD instead an 03 rubi?
I have a trail rig and a DD, yet i still end up DDing the trail rig lol!
its nice not having to worry driving the rig you trashing on the trails to get you to work on monday!
whats your plan of attack? first mods? so many things to do to a stock rig!

Looks good man. Glad to see you got out from under that runner (pos really) and got back into the Jeep game.

not sure on the first mods yet. Still deciding whether or not I want to paint it Camo tan with black accents or not. The hood has chipped paint with fading around the front, but i can deal with that for now. I want to do MCEs with 2.5" suspension and 1.25" body. Hopefully find a front locker. Make stock bumper into a stubby, replace the worn 97 seats with the black rubicon seats coming with the jeep

I will let you know later today cause we'll know then. I'll still take it for his asking price if he doesn't go down. I cant find a TJ cheaper around here that runs

I am, but I blew a radiator hose 150 miles from home. So I'm currently having it towed back to the house to work on it tonight
