Jeep Wrangler TJ available as 1997 to 2006 models featured an all round coil-spring suspension and a return to the classic CJ's round headlamps. If you want a taste of the original Jeep the Jeep Wrangler TJ is a direct descendant and a great choice for the beginner to the seasoned offroader.

Good performance, especially with the 4L engine.
Short and light weight.
Great suspension and strong axle choices.
Try to find a 4.0L TJ to start your project. A Rubicon would be the best, but they are also more expensive.
Dana 44 front and rear is great for a Jeep Wrangler TJ on 35 inch tires. You need about a 4-6 inch lift to fit the bigger tires. Get the gears lowered to 4:56 and consider air-lockers for serious offroading. A winch would be nice also 🙂
Dana 60 front and rear for anything bigger!
6"lift 35" tires, jet stage 2 chip, cold air intake, 4:56 gears, 4.0 stroked, winch to come, has detroit locker in rear, a rb in front. I go wheeling in Clayton, Ok I like rocks but there is a lot of mud in my area so its ok too.
1997 Jeep Wrangler TJ Sport. - Rick says he is pretty much a newb to 4 wheeling. He's been in the lowrider truck thing for years thought and would do something new. Rick takes his Wrangler wheeling around Little River Canyon...mostly old dirt roads and a few river crossings, power lines...steep muddy hills and huge mud holes.
Bought this on a Thursday bone stock. Was up in the mountains on Saturday with 4 inch Terra Flex lift, 35inch MTs, and a warn 8274 winch. Future mods will be airbag suspension and beefy axles. Love the Rocky Mountains and wheeling Moab! If your ever in Colorado, let me know. Always ready to go wheeling!
1997 Jeep, TJ - This is Jay's first off road vehicle and it has provided his family many hours of fun and exploring, since retiring from the fire service a couple of years ago. Jay's son also has a Jeep TJ, 2000 year model, also modified, providing us some great family times together.
