Just kicking the idea around. 2 doors with 2 kids and 2 dogs isn’t ideal.

A 2 door with 1 kid isn’t really ideal honestly. A 2 door is only usable without the back seat in

Having two kids and two dogs in my jeep pretty regularly, having a 4 door JKU or JLU would be better than the JT. As much as I want one some day, I could fit all six of us in it with out the back area behind the back seat.

It's pretty ideal for a family vehicle. Especially if you're planning on keeping the wrangler.

Yeah, the length seems like it would be not much fun on our tree lined trails. Especially compared to my go-cart of a Jeep.

Yup, you are exactly right. We went to the dealership to look over the back seat and it wouldn’t cut it. You really need the cargo area.
But my goodness, they had a fully optioned out Sting Grey Mojave edition in the showroom and it was amazing. It’s crazy how jeep setup those front reservoirs.

Yeah they are awesome, I’ll need a new “work truck” in a few years and really hope they have the 392 in it by then. They are bad ass Jeeps off the lot

Still thinking. It’s truly a cost/benefit analysis.
Would be nice to not have to take the utility trailer for every hardware store trip but the trailworthiness would definitely take a hit.
Seems that ARB has a front locker for them so I could set it up like my Willys JKU after the axle swap.

They’re working out great so far. They didn’t need balanced. They seem to be wearing well.
They’re in hibernation for the winter but that has more to do with the wheels and salt then tires and snow.
Here they are w/ 5,500 miles.

Well this build has come to an end. It was the right time to move on, otherwise I was going deep down the rabbit hole.
Amazingly, I’m walking away from this one with only a net loss of $830. I think the affirms that now was the time to make a change if I was going to.
Next would have been more lift, that would required driveshafts, which would have led to bigger tires, which would’ve required a regear and... and... and...

I never have and will never put together a spreadsheet on a jeep build! That would be way too much evidence for Heather

No kidding.
"Babe, That pile of jeep parts has always been there. You've never noticed?"
^ I'm sticking with that line.

I recently did and it was horrifying, but to my surprise I have made alot more back selling stuff then I thought.
