Nice Rig Dude! You really don't need all the super fancy stuff that costs a fortune. Keep it simple. I have a '99 Sahara 4.0L 5 speed. No AC. Also Green!👍. The green just looks good even when it's dirty. Also, that roof tent is pretty sweet!
That hood and quarter panel art is the best decal art I’ve ever seen on a Jeep. Simple and understated but beautiful and skillfully done. Bravo sir. I’d definitely put that on my 98.
Great video, thanks for sharing! I really enjoyed seeing all the upgrades you did. Just bought my first Jeep a week ago, (97 TJ 4.0 5speed) I bought it as an extra vehicle, but I like it so much, I don't want to drive anything else. I'm hooked!
I took the Dana 35 out of my 05 TJ as soon as it broke, and put a Dana 44, with an E locker,regeared to 4:56 gears. I put a lock right in the Dana 30. Running 33-13.5-15 netto Mud Grapplers.
Gotta love a TJ I had a 05 rubi but sold it just needing more room I sure wish I had it back Enjoy your videos , living in Russellville, we’ve run most of the local stuff I’ve seen on them, and appreciate you not giving locations . Also like the lower budget approach and not getting caught up in the high dollar must have overland gear thing… I sleep in my rig most of the time and keep things as simple as possible. That 8.8 is a great axle, I’m running one with 4.88 and a ox locker in my Jeep. Thanks for the videos , I enjoy them more than some of the other local guys stuff
great build - budget focused but everything you need! what soft top is it and are you happy? nice cap btw! where do you got it? cheers from Switzerland
Another awesome video man! Those little jeeps are sweet for overlanding! My sister use to have one just like that. Me and my pup just got into overland camping out of my truck! You'll have to check it out on my channel! Keep up with the sweet content!
Wait...did I hear correctly? You said you were running the stock 3:07 gears on it still!? How has that worked out for you so far? My Tj also has the stock 3:07 gears and im thinking about a regear (eventually) but honestly its drive-able. The amount of hate this ratio gets on the TJ forums makes me want to regear asap. Ill do it soon but honestly I feel it can wait. Im running 33s also.
I sold that TJ after owning it for 10 years to more room and bought a JKU Rubicon. On the TJ I ran 35’s the whole time and never regeared or broke anything on the axles with the 3.07 and the 3 speed Auto.
"If this TJ's a Rockin, Don't come a Knockin" finally has a meaning with that roof tent!!!😂😂😂

Thanks for the kind words and I appreciate you watching!
That was also a very nice touch. The artistic freedom you have with a Jeep is endless. Make it how you like it.
Awesome rig dude! Great to see you can build a sick TJ without Just Emptying Every Pocket :-)
Absolutely! 🤘🏼
Love the vids, keep them coming. Appreciate the low budget approach.

I really appreciate it Dave! Thanks for the feedback! i’m not a fancy video producer by any means just like the document our trips for memories!
That video approach is what has me watching ya. To many folks wanting to be a TH-cam hero. Yours is more like wheelin with buddies thanks man
8.8 axle is a great option! Stronger then d44. With the 3 speed you'll just need 4.56, probably a sye kit too
Nice job!
Good looking Tj....
so awsome😊
Love the vid 2 door jeep jk gave me all kinds of ideas
great build - budget focused but everything you need! what soft top is it and are you happy? nice cap btw! where do you got it? cheers from Switzerland
Which bumper/ tire carrier is that ? and do you like it ? Nice video, Thanks
Nice 😁👍🏼
Thanks 😁
Switch to a Dana 30 out of an XJ and you can run locked on 35s with no worries
Sweet...
Can you post a close up picture on how the rack is attached in front on windshield pillar?
I have a earlier video on the rack. Thanks
Great video. Just found your channel. Subscribed. I have A stock 2.5l. Will the tent work on a Smittybuilt roof rack?
Thanks, from Hells Canyon, fr
Yes , most have at least a 500lbs limit and that is plenty

What kind of air box is that ????
What did you do for the blinkers under your headlights? Also in your cargo area, is that just made out of wood and covered with carpet?
Just some 2” amber LEDs for blinkers, Yes wood covered in carpet for sound.
If a 3.5 inch lift fits 35’s, do you think a skinny tire like the 255/85/16’s “33’s” pizza cutters would fit on a 2 or 2.5 inch lift from Old Man Emu?
Don’t see why not!
Absolutely. I have an Old Man Emu 2" heavy duty lift and it netted 2.5". I am running 31 x10.5 but 33" would easily fit.
Could you send a link to the interlocking boxes? Thanks!

Did you drill into the tailgate to mount the table?
Nope, its gorilla tape on the hinge 👍🏻

Honey, lets spend $75K on a new Jeep and then take it up into the mountains and destroy it. It'll be so fun.....
lol
