Those look like aftermarket wheels and 31" tires, I would add that in. Don't forget a little backstory like where you got it or how you got it, get creative.

Hmmmm.....

Two girls so far.

Do we have more girls for this that are willing to dive in?

Better question: Do I see a girl fight in the future?
Only if there's a kiddie pool and Jello. Someone get bugs! She'll do it with me

This project started a year ago August. A partnership between my 76yr old father and I. Started out being a Jeep for the hunting club and turned into a Rock Crawler. (i could of influenced that). He's out there all the time turning wrenches, wiring things and driving it around town. It's given him something to do. He kept telling me we weren't going to lift it or put big tires on it... Well look what we built. I drive it on the trails and he yells at me to be careful. God for bid i grind the gears when i put it in 4 low. It's been a lot of fun.

2001 TJ
40" Maxxis Creepy Krawlers
17" Rockathon beadlocks
Suspension by EOR:
14" coilovers rear, 12" coilovers front
Triangulated 4-link rear
3 link front
Spidertrax 9" pro series axles

Savvy aluminum bumpers and skids.

Custom cage by Wide Open Design
4.0 bored .30 over.
ARB air lockers front and rear.

We bought this Jeep in 2005. All I could afford at the time was a 2" budget lift and 31" MT's. In 2011 I started getting serious about building it up. I have a couple of friends that I was helping build a tube buggy, and we were going to start on mine after that was done.

Well I was watching Xtreme 4X4 one morning and saw a commercial about how the Powerblock was going to take some viewer vehicles and help finish them. I got on the website and filled out the app. and a few months later Tim Strange and Ian Johnson showed up at my door. It took one month for transformation, and we had the tube buggy finished enough by that time, so we hauled it to Tennessee for the reveal and went wheeling. It was an awesome experience.


Stock to finished
