New guy with a TJ
« on: February 21, 2017, 08:46:07 PM »
Hey Guys!
I've had a 97 TJ for a couple years. Bought it with 33s and a 5" lift and sprayed it inside and out with Raptorliner. I bought it as a fun summer vehicle and intended on selling it after a few years for the same I bought it for. ...and then I broke a driveshaft and ripped off a control arm bracket out in Nepaug. Since then I've torn it down almost to the frame and spent more money than I'd like to admit. Sound familiar? :)




It’s on 33" BF Goodrich KO2 A/Ts with a 4.5” RC / Savvy lift (a work in progress), currectlync steering, Durango box, Warn winch, rock sliders, tranny skid, and most recently an XJ high pinion Dana 30 with truetrac.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to joining a club and actually having real places to go wheeling. And I'd love to have the advice and support of more experienced guys out there.
I look forward to hanging out and hopefully go wheeling soon!

Nick Maida
