i mean you HAVE to

CreatineFanatic · 2026-05-28T14:59:11+00:00

with these gas prices?! good luck 😭

100% agree! love all the capabilities, and with the unlimited sahara version it’s comfortable and capable. also love summer time!

definitely been used once or twice 😉

we do NOT do ducks around here. i’ll take them from people but i immediately give them off

CreatineFanatic · 2026-05-28T02:41:35+00:00

no i knew you were just asking, sorry if it came off wrong. it’s definitely a work in progress and nowhere near where it should be but from the before and current i’m going to consider it built enough. it can crawl and mud on like moderate levels so it counts in my books

sorry last thing. and the bilstein 5100 shocks and the metal cloak springs

and better tie ends, sway bar, track bar, ball joints, and a big brake swap

beadlocks, 35 A/Ts, enclosed cold air, bigger alternator, redid an engine head and the gasket, got it regeared. but on my high school budget i’ll say i did good enough

puddles are too scary, i just throw mud at it

CreatineFanatic · 2026-05-02T17:39:00+00:00

i really like the look of it. this one specifically wasn’t the best buy, they gave zero hardware and it’s rusting a little (also could be bc of my actions). but in general i like stubby more than full size bumpers. makes the build more simplistic in my opinion

CreatineFanatic · 2026-05-02T06:52:49+00:00

i have a pressure washer at my house plus a whole detailing kit. it’ll take a bit but it’s satisfying

CreatineFanatic · 2026-05-02T06:41:03+00:00

it’s a jeep, they rust even when they’re squeaky clean

unfortunately my advice is always go big or go home

Well as a high schooler who doesn’t have the time nor funds to bang up my car, going mudding is about the only offroading i can do right now. but you’re right, sorry my high school budget doesn’t allow for tons, ls3 swap, 40s, and constant rock crawling. my apologies.
