Alright time to post about my Jeep. I am pretty new to this, first jeep wrangler, relatively young and have too many hobbies!. So I have to be careful not to overspend when building my jeep but still make it practical for my needs. Mods will come as my confidence and skill grows. I intend to grow with the Jeep to build better skills.
This is my adventure vehicle. I need it to take me to remote campgrounds and to carry my kayak fishing gear. As well as any other gear I might need for a trip, be it offroad camping, hunting, climbing, backcountry skiing, hiking, mountain biking, or even regular campground glamping. It needs to take me alone, or me and my wife, or me my wife and my baby.
I've been growing with it, taken it offroad stock until the stock suspension started giving up on me a bit, thats when the mods started. Main thing is to keep it budget friendly, light and practical. Keep in mind this is a 2 door, and a smaller lift and tires should suffice. I take weight and price into consideration with all my mods.
