2010 JKU--Homemade Intake, Aftermarket LEDs Front/Rear, Plastidip'd Stock Rolling Gear...its a Daily Driver so its barebones on upgrades

Love driving a majority of the year without the doors, preferably with the Doggo in her harness rig along for the ride--whether its a quick trip to the store or an extended run, its the best part IMHO

1987 YJ Sport 2.5l 4 cyl, manual trans, mostly original. I've rewired the entire rig, swapped the original rims with a full 5 wheel set of take offs from a rubicon, added a center console, mounted a cb in the console, upgraded the bumpers with front and rear tube bumpers that were open box cheap, found and installed a jeep am/fm cassette tape radio.
Most of the two years I've owned it, it has been in the garage in a state of repair but when I first bought it, I did have someone stop when I was waiting for a tow truck and tell me it was a cool ride and asked if I wanted to sell it. Lol

2016 Jeep 2 Door Wrangler Rubicon

Modifications
Hooligan Off Road Skid plate system
Riddler Diff Covers
Warn Zeon 10S
Rancho 2" sport lift
Teraflex 9550 steering stabilizer
Milestar Patagonia 33x12.50
Stock Wheels w/ Synergy Spacers
Teraflex HD Tire Carrier
Fumoto oil drain valve
Dorman metal oil cooler housing
Tuffy Half Console and Glove box
JK Pockets
Spiderweb Shade for my wife
Powerstop Stainless extended brakelines
JE Reel Driveshafts (not yet installed)
Teraflex HD Ball Joints (not yet installed) - These will only be on until I get a PR44 or UD44.

I like the Jeep, because it takes me to a lot of interesting places, and I don't worry too much about getting back with much more than a well thought out toolbox. It's great for camping in the middle of nowhere, and my wife and dog love it. It's gotten me this far nearly stock, and now that it's paid off I'm working toward a more long-term suspension and drivetrain, and taking care of known failure points like the oil cooler housing.

This is my 1994 YJ still a work in process..swapping the 2.5l w/ ax-5 transmission with a 99 Jeep Wrangler TJ 4.0l w/ an AX-15 transmission from Advance Adapters
Wheel Tire Vehicle Automotive tire Tread
the TJ is a part out..I picked up for $500.00 it had the 4.0l with an Automatic transmission and the ECU for an Automatic..in order for the 4.0l from the TJ to talk to the 94 YJ with the AX-5 transmission, I have to figure out if I need to swap out the Wiring harness as well and get the ECU that works with the Ax-15 transmission or if the YJ with the 2.5l engine and ax-5 harness will work just needing to switch the ECU from the YJ for the 2.5 and ax-5 ecu to a 4.0l with the Ax-15 transmission ECU..

Owned a 99 TJ for a few years, recently sold and purchased this 2014 JKUR with 60k miles. So far, I love it. I love being able to take road trips in comfort but also pull off on some mountain road and climb a trail. Mostly highway driving so far, but the little bit of off roading I have done has been impressive!

Most mods were done by previous owner: Fenders, Amp boards, bumpers, winch, 3.5" ST3 Teraflex lift with Fox 2.0 shocks.

Since obtaining I have done: Rubicon Express Tracbar, Rancho RS9000XL shocks and Rancho steering stabilizer, Rubicon Express quick disconnect tie rod end links, Synergy Tie Rod, 35" BFG KO2, Hike-it throttle control, Smittybilt side steps.
