Hello all!
I just wanted to take a few minutes and introduce myself. Unlike most everyone here it seems, I didn’t grow up around Jeeps or trail riding but I have always loved reading about it on forums like this one. Now that I am older and have just enough disposable income to make my wife mad, I picked up a 2004 LJ with 130,XXX miles and the automatic transmission (see below).
I do not have any grand plans about building some amazing trail rig. The real dream for me is to have a Jeep that my family and I can jump into any day of the week and drive.
I also want to go ahead and thank everyone for the time that they have put into this forum. I have already utilized it for what to look for in a used TJ/LJ!
Here is how the Jeep currently sits (from the ad). I did remove the plastic grill inserts and plastic bumper guards once I got home.

. It is quite capable for some trail riding as is . I personally would go with a narrower wheel to put the tires back under the fender flares and get a good set of all terrain tires . Other than that , just enjoy the ride .
