Building your own Jeep Wrangler

A lot of things have changed since the World War Two vets came home and purchased a surplus Jeep to go play in the hills with after falling in love with them in the field of combat.

There are a lot of web sites and catalogues telling us how to build our Jeep big and bad which goes along with the adage "J ust   E mpty    E very   P ocket". But is the biggest baddest Jeep on the planet really going to suit our needs?

Six inch lift kits, snorkels, 42 inch tires, thousand pound body armor kits; all can be just ego trips that make the Jeep so un-usable for everyday use that it get's sold a few years later at a major loss.

The first question you need to ask is what you really are going to use your Jeep Wrangler for?

Will you be in the hills or up on Moab every week? What do you expect the Jeep to do and who will be driving it daily? These questions will really help you save some dollars and maybe save a marriage.

I love my TJ wrangler and drive it every weekend, but fortunately I did a lot of research before I bought it and talked to a lot of Jeep owners. It really helped me see what I needed. On the flip side my enthusiasm for my Jeep encouraged several of my friends to buy Wranglers and within a year their wives had me on their hate list and they had lost a great deal of money.

So out of guilt I am starting this blog, to point Wrangler enthusiast to look at the various options and where they can get better information to make better decisions.
