Caught the Bug
To start a build on the TJ X 6 speed manual I have, and on a small budget to start with, where should I start, after recovery and safety upgrades? I want to get my hands dirty on as many of these projects as I can.
Here is my intent for the rig. Generally, I'm shooting for American made products that will stand up to harder punishment than I'll throw at them.
33"-35" tires on bead lock wheels
A strong and safe steering system
A suspension system that can take a beating
A safe lift to body and suspension
Dynatrac Pro Rock 44s front and back, ARB air lockers, 4.88 gearing
The ability to do MOAB reasonably well, even though the TJ wheel base is short, but also able to take on East Coast conditions of rain, mud, snow, river crossings, rock crawling, etc.
Still maintaining daily driver status
Is my best bet on suspension and steering first? Or axle upgrades? And of course, I realize that lifts mean changing out drive shafts. I'm thinking tires and wheels can come later.
