Hey guys, kind of new to the whole online forum thing. I posted this info already in my Jeep build, but figured I might get some input here as well.
I am getting out of the Army as my friend is. In a year and some change we are driving around the world in my Jeep. From Florida and finishing in New Zealand.
Here are some mods and pics so far:
2005 Jeep Wrangler TJ
Mileage: 41K
Stock transfer case, motor (inline six), and transmission (manual)
JKS front and rear lower control arms, reinforced uppers
JKS front and rear track bars
JKS drag link and tie rod, which where cut in half and sleeved and welded back together
Bilstein shock absorbers all the way around
Bilstein steering stabilizer
Warn gas tank skid, radiator skid, transmission/oil pan skid plates
Posion Spyder rocker rails, front fender flares and rear corners
33 inch x 11.5 inch Goodyear Kevlar M/T tires
