TJ: KJben's Build

[TurboTJ]

Hi all,

I thought i would start my first buildup thread, now im earning some serious $$$$.

This is a bit of history of the TJ in our family, we bought it brand spanking new in Mackay september of 2004 and we have loved Jeeps since, so we went to the Jeep Jamboree in 2006 and then my dad decided to ad a couple of things like a lift, BFG All-terrains, UHF and Pod filter. And its been that way till i recieved the keys for my 16th birthday in 2008. and since then ive spent literally every single cent ive earned on my Jeep. But now im going to be buying some serious stuff for it.

Nice work man... I too have just started spending the money on the major mods and am now frustrated that i cant afford to do it all at once.... Still more hard work earning the $$$'s and hours of drooling over what she will be at the end....

Good Luck.

dont fit the front locker with the standard gears if you intend on changing ratios down the track as you will have to buy a new locker again with a ratios change .
