A little back story. I bought a 2001 TJ 2 door one week before I got married back in 2010. Loved it, did some basic upgrades myself, like tires/wheels, shocks and steering stabilize. Then a year later had our first kid, moved and sadly decided a 2 door Wrangler wasn't an optimal commuter and family vehicle.
I've been grumbling ever since and basically sold my lady on the idea that now that both of kids are a little older and the 4 door is "safer" and more stable, we should get a Jeep. Also turned 40 and said I was worth it ;-). Got the 2016 JKU a couple of months ago. I had to wait a while because I wanted the Hydro Blue and Willy's Wheeler. It's a sweet ass ride!
Part of wishes I'd gone base model and slowly done all of the upgrades and part of me likes have a few extras above the base model.
Sure enough I'm wanting to make a few changes and trying to slow play it.
As much as 35s and a 3.5 inch lift would be nice, I'm pretty sure I'd be happy 33s and a 2.5 inch lift and not have to worry about a beefier bumper or any other major accommodations (exhaust spacers, drive train, etc). Would love some opinions on this. I'm not going to be a rock crawler, it's my daily commuter, but I'd like faster offroading at some point in the future.
Cheers
