I have been starting and mostly stopping builds on my Jeeps for years and years, this has always been my dream. I had a YJ that changed build direction so many times that I need to start fresh and just install the parts I have been acquiring. So here she is my "about time" build. I started with an LJ, requirements to buy were Auto, Hard top and working AC. I wanted to try and get my wife to go with me again. I found this one, it had a Teraflex LCG Enduro kit with 35" tires, bumpers that were just not my style and a few little issues that I had worked out. the first time I went to head up the canyon to test her out the transmission went into Limp mode. Not the best way to start. So it sat around for 4 months. Then the adventure began. I had to get a new TCM and I worked out many of the little bugs. Then I loaded it up on the trailer and took it to MOAB. It has evolved rather quickly since. I debated between an LJ and a 4 dr JK for a little while and I am very happy with my decision. This has turned to be EVERYTHING I have ever wanted and more. It has tested my build skillz
