Description
My new toy...
My 1995 Wrangler was approaching 100K miles and had starting showing signs of mechanical distress on some key components.
I test drove both the stock Rubicon and the Tomb Raider 2 version--liked both, but com'n, $33K USD for a Wrangler?!
I "settled" for this Sport version. I did have to change out the tires from 33" to 31" because the 33" tires, with the 3" lift kit was waaay too close to the top of my garage opening--plus I'm only 5'9" so even with the step... (GRIN).
*** Update ***
Also, expect more renders soon. The Render Machine HDD has been restored and I should be reconnecting it to my network this weekend.
Thx for viewing!
--S. (the very proud papa) GRIN

Yeah, I replaced the 31" Les Schwab's with 33" Pro Comps due to excessive wear on the tires (disappointed--at 28K miles, they were worn at the level the set I had on my YJ when it was at 60K and L.S. refused to replace them--they were going to "cut me a deal" on a new set). Work continues on the '03 even though it is now paid off. I still have the Or-Fab rollbar kit for the front of the Jeep (replacing the "showbars" about the driver and front passenger). Would be nice as well to swap out the I6 for a Cummins Diesel--and double the fuel economy... I'll just add it to the list
