Newbie pulled the trigger today!!

Hello Everyone,

The wife & I finally chose a TJ that fit the bill!! Still new to Jeeps, just sold my '05 Hemi ram QC 4x4, lifted on 35s. Wanted something more rugged to have fun with and not too concerned about hurting it.

It is lifted, 2" body lift, some kind of suspension work not sure yet what was done. Transfer drop, Warn front & rear bumpers, w/ a warn winch up front. With the jeep came a box w/ a jet chip part in it, not sure if it's the stock chip in the box, plus a throttle body stock or aftermarket???

Well here is the link to pics, it's the dealer I bought from. Went smooth, for the area a fair price @ 11500 with 98k on the clock.

The new addiction has begun!!! Feel free to give ideas, tips, suggestions!!!

Thanks, Greg

Just so you all know, If I think you're an ******* I will gladly tell you. I'm not your everyday girl, so don't expect me to act like one. And yeah, I do like it topless and dirty!

Nice looking Jeep. You can raise rear brake light by putting in a 2x4.

before you ask, that center cap on your shifter just pops out so you can spin it back and center it. you just need a small screwdriver or other some other flat tool to pry it out. good luck with it

Awesome!! Thanks All!!

I had to travel almost 3 hrs to get her. The story was that a Army pilot from south Carolina traded it in on a mini cooper.

I tried to spin the shift knob as I was driving home, and am searching ways to raise that 3RD brake light right now!

I almost bought an '03 Rubi, but it had a strange rattle that sounded like a throw out bearing, but it wasn't. After some research I think it might've been the transfer case shifter. A set of Dana 44s and some gears w/ lockers and I'll be better than that '03!!!
