The wife and I set out to buy a jeep because we were wanting to start going wheeling with some of our friends. We looked and looked and most of the jeeps we found were basically the same in that price range. We finally found one that was unique in it's own way on the back lot of a jeep dealership. It had been there a while so we were able to get a decent deal on it. Some of the rhd issues have caused me headaches but it has been fun for the most part.

After wanting a Jeep my whole life, I convinced my parents to let me sell my truck and buy a Jeep with whatever money I received upon the sale of the truck. I got the Jeep at the end of my Junior year of highschool and I have been adding to it every since. This is my daily driver and trail rig and I never plan on selling it!

Story:
Less than two years ago I purchased an '04 TJ Rubicon in bone stock condition and drove it down to Nashville, TN from Peoria, IL. Like many others Jeep owners, the purpose behind it was to have a daily driver that could conquer most moderate difficulty trails on the weekend. But it only took a matter of months for the jeep addiction to kick in and the modifications to begin. Within the first 6 months, she grew to 35" tires, 4" Clayton long arm lift, 15" TrailReady converted beadlocks, MetalCloak front & GenRight rear bumper, Warn XD9000i winch, UnderCoverFab skids, and MetalCloak armor all around. Though the jeep was still street legal, it became a trailer queen in order to gain some extra confidence needed to handle all the local moderate trails and hit several difficult trails. Simply put, the Jeep was awesome... however, I still had a desire to hit the real bad boy trails.
After breaking a rear shaft and locker on the stock Rubicon 44, I decided it was time to start Project No Compromises. I came up with the name to remind me to never stop improving the build... no matter the time, cost, and effort. The first step of Project No Compromises was a set of '03 F350 SuperDuty axles. Things quickly piled on from there and I knew I was starting to get into some unfamiliar territory and needed to involve a shop that really knew what they were doing and I could fully trust. After working back and forth with Jimmy @ Essentially Ofrroad (EOR), we got some plans finalized and the work began. Over a four month span, they backhalfed the jeep, installed King 2.5 IBP coilovers, designed a badass roll cage, put ARBs in the axles, integrated Corbeau seats with Crow 5 pt harnesses, hooked up a custom switch panel, mounted a fuel cell and on board air system, fabricated a hi clearance rear bumper, and threw on some new 40" MTRs with 17" TrailReady HD beadlocks.
The end result: a beast of a machine that can hang with buggies on some of the toughest trails around here.

Story:
I bought this TJ in April 2011, Easter weekend. All it had at the time was a 4" RC lift, 33" KM2's & 6" wide fender flares. It’s my Daily Driver 70 miles round trip to work every day & I try to wheel it pretty hard. I’ve driven her 2.5 hours to the trail & home every time without fail & even drove the family 14 hours from Indiana to North Carolina on vacation just so we could drive her out on the beach. It’s still a work in progress, but we’re getting close. Next mods up include Chromo shafts front & rear & a tummy tuck. Check out my build for more pics & info.

Story: First Jeep I’ve owned! Bought it as a daily driver in ’07 and was basically 100% stock. Got hooked on wheeling and on building it bigger/stronger! Today it’s still a daily driver that I can now go to the trail and tackle just about any obstacle that I want.
