We went out and got one and out of the 2 other vehicles that we have the TJ gets driven the most while the others sit. We could not believe how much fun we are having. We wanted to tackle some trails and decided to do some modifications. I originally wanted to go 33" tires but my wife would not let me go below 35"s. Needless to say I can see the advantage of the extra high. I am glad she always makes me listen to her :-) | |
