Post Pic's of your Jeep

[jeep-N-montero]

Im a Jeep salesmen. There was no "LJ" build code. The long wheel base wrangler was just a different sequence of code after the "TJJH77,.....". For example the build code for a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Sport is, JKJM74. this is 2 or 4 door. No matter what the Dubbed name is, its stills nick name. Just my 2 cents cuz im a nerd ... lol.

I already covered this on the previous page. And I love that JK8!! My dream Jeep if I had deep pockets is a Scrambler sitting on 35's with a 60 rear and 44 front, full coil-overs, and an LS1. But this JK8 just may come somewhat close to this idea, what's the price tag on those?

Well im not really trying to sell anything here. Im just showing it off. As this one is built the price is 50. Ish.

Good dream. Same for me, but 60s front and rear, and 37s or 38s.

I want to keep it street-able as much as possible. A scrambler on 35's and coil-overs will do all but 2 or 3 trails in Moab, and I can do without those few trails that are prone to rolling.

 

[Bubblegoose1]

Smart. I agree.

And I'm an investigator.
You know how to sell ******** and I know how to research ********.
The link should have clarified the issue, but I guess it was missed?
We were essentially saying the same thing.

-Just a quick factoid-

Each Wrangler model has received a designation in addition to the nameplate Wrangler corresponding to their generation: YJ (1987–1995), TJ (1997–2006), LJ's (2004-2006 Unlimited models) and JK (2007–present). Military versions of the Wrangler have carried the J8 designation.
TJ Wrangler Unlimited

Jeep TJ Wrangler Unlimited soft-top
In 2004, Jeep introduced the Wrangler Unlimited (unofficially dubbed "LJ") with a 10-inch (250 mm) longer wheelbase (LWB), a Dana 44 rear axle with a 3:73 gear ratio and the Command-Trac 231 transfer case. In 2005, Jeep released the Rubicon Unlimited, which has the wheelbase of the Unlimited and the off-road features of the Rubicon such as front and rear Dana 44 axles with locking differentials, diamond plate rocker guards, an NVG241OR transfer case with a 4:1 low range, 245/75R16 Goodyear MT/R tires, a six-speed manual transmission and other comfort and convenience options not offered on other Wranglers. This model of the Jeep Wrangler has nearly double the towing capacity than its shorter wheelbase sibling due to the increased wheelbase size.

I already covered this on the previous page...

I guess we both covered it in our own way.:coffeedrink:

And I love that JK8!!... But this JK8 just may come somewhat close to this idea, what's the price tag on those?

It's definitely a good looking rig. I had to take a few double takes at it last night when he first posted it.
My only questions.
Is the top removable?
Is there a full hard top for it a-la the scrambler.

If not, I'd have to defer to this as my dream jeep:

Maybe once it is sitting on 35's, but not stock.

35s on an XJ is ridiculously unnecessary... 31s with 3-3.5" lift for mine. that will go through anything I want to go through. crawling is boring for me, thats why im on EXPEDITION portal I want to drive it another 330k miles but this time all over the world.

the JK8 is kinda ugly IMO but then again I don't like JK's at all. id rather have a Brute. TJ's are the last real jeep IMO...

anyways, this has gone on way to long without pictures! so back to subject

Just want to point this out, on the bottom of the grill on my LJ there is a plate that has the VIN number on it; it says "LJ" on it. If I was home I'd take a picture to share with you. I've seen this come up on debate a few times.

Ah look, I found a picture online.

Anyway, here is my 2005 LJ. Slowly building it up for long distance traveling off road. For purposes of camping. I wouldn't call it "expedition" but, away from people.

Future plans include a fairly small list of:
-Font D44 (Superior axle shafts, ARB locker and Vanco's 15" brake kit)
-Superior axle shafts and ARB locker for the rear
-Spyderlock 15" beadlocks. Powder coated all black
-AEV 4.5" springs
-Outboard rear shocks
-Rokmen's tummy tuck with engine/trans skid
-Novak SYE
-35" Goodyear MTRs with Kevlar
-Garvin roof rack
-Kilby OBA
-GenRight's Safari gas tank (31 freakin gallons! I'm gonna hate the gas station)
-New front and rear driveshafts and shocks (once I figure out the sizes needed)
-CJ tailgate
-Savvy LED tail lights
-Rokmen corner armor (to mount the rear of the roof rack to)
-Electric radiator fan
-Dual batteries
-Work lights for around the camp sight mounted to the roof rack)
-Bunch of other silly little things.

That's all for now. Bye.

That's a nice tj! .. the tag also is stamped TJJH78... LOL..

Beautiful Rig! It's coming together nicely. You are fortunate to have a rig as that. :Wow1:

 

[Bubblegoose1]

TJ's are the last real jeep IMO...

This is a funny statement to me, IMO.
IMO, I think any JEEP with an actual frame is a "real Jeep" IMO. ********

JKs are the best out of the box Jeep ever built. That is a fact.

 

[Black Dog]

So now should we start the JK vs XJ ********** down thread? Because I think that as far as every day driving, from the mall to the mountain top, you simply cannot beat a four door Cherokee.

 

[Bubblegoose1]

I agree. LOL. I was actually just trying to show how ridiculous some statements are.

If it is actually used in some Jeep/dirt/trail fashion, I give it credit for being a Jeep.

I can guarantee that my Jeep sees more off-road miles per miles driven than 90% of the Wranglers on the road.

Disclaimer: The Jeep is a 3rd vehicle for us and only leaves the driveway when we are going to play, so the average is in our favor.
