Howdy! Just introducing myself and my 2006 TJ. She's bare bones! This is my second Jeep, first being a 2018 Rubicon JL.
I used to run an event for a couple of years called Power Wagons in Moab which lead to me buying my first Jeep thinking I wanted to get into even harder trails.
But it turned out, I'm just too used to the long wheel base and did NOT like wheeling the Jeep hard. What I did fall in love with was having the doors off all the time and cruising mountain & forest roads in Idaho.
But, I ended up selling the JL in 2020 to fund some life goals and a lot has worked out since that decision.
For the past two years I've been toying with the idea of picking up another more basic Jeep to cruise around in and do some work on. Really liked the looks of the TJ's. And finally found one that checked the boxes in terms of it's overall condition on the frame, engine and interior. A good base, not too heavily modified and at a price I could pay cash for.
Just picked her up on Wednesday morning, so don't have too many photos. A few things to change right off the bat and a few things to figure out. LIke for starters, I'm pretty confident the suspension is stock, which means in case of the 33's she ain't got no articulation. But it's a start. She's bare bones SE with out even AC.
Anyways, glad to have found this resource!
