Rewind to when you first purchased your Jeep. What were some things you thought about? What were some things you would have done differently? I need some help!
To give a little background, I've been researching Jeeps for the last year and gearing up to buy one this June. I'm trying to spend under $33k and I'm only interested in a 13+ Unlimited. My biggest dilemma is deciding to spend extra buck on a Rubicon for the axel features (gearing, lockers, 44 front axel)...Or, spend the money I would have into buying a Rubicon into a Sport on Wheels/Tires/Lift/Regear?
This was my thought process
a.) Pick up a 13+ Rubicon Unlimited, $31k-34k.
-Teraflex 2.5in or equivalent
-35in Toyo RT/Goodyear Duratrac/BFG K02 (stock wheels)
-stock gearing (4.10)
-Superchips flashcal
>upgrade over time
b.) Pick up a 13+ Sport Unlimited, $25k-30k.
-Evo 3in Enforcer
-35in Toyo RT/Goodyear Duratrac/BFG K02
-Banks monster exhaust
-superchips flashcal
-4.88 gearing, C gussets
-EVO front/rear bumper
This will be a DD (hence the AT's), and probably utilizing off road capabilities 2-3 times a month. Eventually I'd like to get a 4in long arm, drive lines, axel upgrades w lockers, 37s and more.
What would you do? Would you do something completely different than what I had in mind? Thanks!
