Replying to: jdward4446 (Feb 25, 2008 7:34 pm) I went mild with a 2.5-3" lift by Old Man Emu from www.dpgoffroad.com. I also added a 1.25" BL. this let me fit 33x12.5x15" tires. Added lockers for traction and armor for body protection. Here is mine.  I've done additional mods, like regearing to allow for the larger tires, done interior changes, added winch, etc. The budget can be anywhere from $200 for a simple budget boost with spacers and longer shocks, up to several thousand for long (control) arm lifts over 6" or so. For a good daily driver, like mine, and something that can handle moderate to challenging trails, 3-4" is probably your best bet. Go with a quality lift setup like OME or Rubicon Express. They will provide the best on-road driving feel. Many items are available from several vendors, but shop around because the prices are not always the same. Places like JCWhitney and Quadratec can be higher priced than places like www.dpgoffroad.com, www.northridge4x4.com, redrock4x4.com, 4x4groupbuy.com, etc. You can add functional and appearance mods like driving/fog lights, racks, flat fenders, LED tail lights, side rails/steps. The choices really are unlimited. If you have particular questions, just ask. -Paul |

Replying to: tsjay (Jul 07, 2005 10:50 am) Name: Pete Birthday: 7/11/85 Location: Twin Cities, MN Family: Not married. For now I'm happy to have parents rather than be one. Jeep: 1998 TJ SE. Doesn't have a name yet. I wanted to wait to get to know him/her better first. My first and favorite car (which is sadly no longer with us) was a male, so this one might end up male too. The Jeep has 29 inch mud tires, diamond plate rocker panels, and a small lift kit. I am hoping to get more exterior armor, bushwacker fenders, neoprene seat covers and rhino line the interior. Anybody from the Twin Cities or New Orleans?

Replying to: gungfu524 (Jun 29, 2008 8:27 pm) Also, is there a cost difference?

Replying to: propagator4 (Jun 30, 2008 6:05 pm) If you REALLY want to do this, I'd go with Line-X. That stuff they put in pickup beds. VERY tough, meant to be exposed to the elements, and should last longer. You will pay more, but you will also get a warranty if you have any issues. Not likely if you roll/spray on Herculiner. Rhino lining, if professionally applied, should have a warranty as well. -Paul |
