Just gonna save up 100 per paycheck and get a lift.


I don't know what you have on her, but if she's stock naked I'd start with skid plates and recovery points first...then a lift. That way you can wheel immediately without worrying about damaging your drivetrain. Also, you can put individual skid plates on as you can afford them, as well as tow hooks/shackles, and a lift means tires, and they ain't cheap. Just a thought.


Well I already have front hooks and the front suspension skid. The front skid came stock since I have an '02.
I already plan on getting the tranny skid and rear hook/class3 hitch before a lift.
And a lift doesn't necessarily mean new tires. But I will probably just save up until I can get a lift an tires at the same time so I'm ot riding around on tires that look too small. lol

Glad to here a better story than a month or so ago. Congrads on the great deal you got, this definately sounds like this Jeeps and your "second" chance, so to speak. Good things happen to good people and the bad usually happens for a reason too. We all have made mistakes when we were younger, less experienced. Keep moving forward and stay within your budget and means. Good luck with your "New" ride.
