Ok so this thread started in the TJ discussion forum but after already posting some updates I decided to have it moved to the build thread.
This will be my fourth Jeep and 3rd TJ, but my first Rubicon! It's a 2005 with the NSG370. It came with a hard and soft top, and was bone stock upon purchase. I bought it from the original owner who purchased it new in November of 2004. It's been well kept mechanically and aesthetically and needed nothing major done.
So far my plan is to do what I had originally planned to do with my last Jeep Jalapeño before I sold it, which for now will start off with a 2" BB, 1.25" BL, 32s, Antirock, and at least an inch of tuck, maybe more. It helps that I already have front and rear lockers. I love cruising around off of the beaten path, but rock crawling has become very appealing to me after doing Elvis Trail with the AZ crew last December. I'm at a crossroads as to what do do, but it'll be easy to add to my planned setup if I want to move to 33s or 35s down the road.
So far as of 10/5, I have installed the 32s, the 2" BB, the 1.25" BL, the 1" MML, and the Antirock. I had thought I would need a Savvy TC shifter but after the body lift my TC still shifts smooth, so I can put that on the back burner for now. I had also planned on getting a super short SYE to prepare for a tuck but I'm also going to wait on that until I know a tuck is coming.
