I've owned several TJs since 99 with all different levels of modifications. My favorite setup was the first one I had when I didn't have the money to dump into expensive mods. 31" swampers, stock suspension, welded rear diff, a diy special tummy tuck skid plate, and a cheap mile marker winch for added offroading confidence. My current TJ is sitting on a 4" lift with 35" km3s and everytime I use it I wish I had my old jeep back. The simplicity and stability were not worth scrificing for the ability to climb something a smidge taller. As far as tops go. Yes you can buy a cheap top for a third of the cost of a good one but the good one is going to last 10x longer
Ha! I thought it was a cool bird crap sticker! Man, you should sell those, and spray-on mud splatter from all the great trails.. Rubicon mud, Black Bear etc... Imogene...😂
Standard slip yoke elimanator gives you additional 4” in driveshaft length, extreme gives 7” extra. The driveshaft is on that much less of an angle for upper u joint failure and vibration. My regret is that I didn’t go with that one first.

Preach it brother! SwayLoc is the way to go! I did mine about 2 years ago and wondered why I didn’t do it sooner.
Totally agree. My belief is this should be a TJ’s owners 1st mod. You can’t go wrong.
I put 31" tires on my tj, i didnt want a big tire but i wanted to get rpm's down on hwy
Awesome video guys 🙌
Yah man

You can also regret not having a 115mph speedboat to pull behind a nice looking TJ
115 on water is what 150 on road😀?
Dunno but I can tell you 156 mph in my outboard is scary stuff.
The coupon code doesnt work
In particular, the slip yoke on the xfer case shouldn't have been a thing. I can see no design benefit whatsoever.
Why do you say that?

My regret is that I didn’t go with that one first.
@campbellbuilt i said it should never have been a thing. The slip joint should have remained on the drive shaft. I am agreeing with you.
