My 1999 Wrangler
A few words about my Jeep
I purchased my TJ in March of 2004. It started out as a way to explore the hills while still being decently comfortable on the highway. Then I found mud and rocks. Suddenly I had the urge to mod it slightly. Then hail came and that made things easier, as it was no longer a pretty Jeep. But I still held highway and comfort over mods. Now it is used as a moderately serious rock rig, daily driver, and road trip vehicle. All I need now is a car and it will become a full time rock crawler/trail rig.
The best upgrade I ever made to my Jeep was a daily driver. - James
