I guess its about time for me to create a build thread now since I've 'got the bug.'
Back in March, I sold my 2003 R1 so I could buy a Jeep. In April I ended up with a Yellow 2002 TJ Sport. There were a few reasons I decided to get rid of the bike for the Jeep. I wanted to park my Camaro and keep her all nice and shiny so I needed something I could drive every day, and also as Devin got more into the club we quickly realized that if we took her Jeep out it would get a little torn up...so we got an older Jeep that we wouldn't much mind if it got dings, dents, scrapes etc (and it has already). Bought the Jeep from a dealer in FL sight unseen. When it came it had 33's, a Procomp 3" suspension lift, some plastic faux diamond plate corner and rocker guards, 4 hella lights with kc covers, a non-working passenger door handle, an idle issue (very rough), and minor rust spots along with a crack in the tub by the passenger tail light from a previous shitty tire carrier.
There was some stuff to do, so first things I did were: fix idle problem, toss the faux diamond plate and hella lights, fix the passenger door handle, remove the milk jugs and side steps, cut the stock fenders, and plastidip the chrome headlight bezels.
Future plans for this thing are to build it into a capable rig without going 'Ghoulie mode' on it and getting out of control. I still need to be able to drive this thing every day but I also want to be able to go on some mean trails.
