Getting Started in MI

MI02TJ

Jeep Newb
After a couple years searching, found a clean, salt free 5spd 2002 to work with.
Fresh 33/12.5/15 stt's, factory opt rear 44, in to 4.56 gears now, Currie hd steering kit, Bilsteins, jks track bar. Just beginning but looking forward to everyone's insight/experience

Thanks. 120k from NM, bones are excellent just some gasket work and axle seals now. Winch, new fog lights up next
Side step, rock slider suggestions? Trying to keep original look
Honestly if your trying to keep the original look I wouldn’t do any sliders. Keep it as a road/dirt road rig. If you go with sliders for this model, they are typically mounted to the body.

Wow! What a beautiful TJ! I am a huge fan of the tan/brown hardtops, and it looks especially nice against the white. I agree with Pthorpe84, no sliders to keep the OG look unless you are wanting to rock crawl it. I am a huge fan of metalcloak's slider options for the TJ, but there are tons of great MFGs out there.

Appreciate the advice. Want to drive it for the year and see if any, or should I say how many, more items need to be addressed. Just added a SYE and tw rear driveshaft... everyone warned me about an older Jeep but I couldn't pass on this one after a couple years searching
