After many years of lurking on this forum I am finally getting around to my build thread. Reasons for lurking for so long (albeit lame ones) are deployments, training, crappy Internet when overseas, quietly learning before speaking, and finally life in general as I have two young kids and a grown adult child. I recently retired from the Army after 21 years and now have some time to start contributing a bit. I have already modded my jeep a bit and have much much more to do to get it where I want it.
The end goal is to be up on 37's while keeping it as light and low as possible and still be able to daily drive it. I have installed a 2.5 inch BB, CB, front bumper and winch, rear tire carrier, and flat fenders (at the wife's request). The most important mod to date was my kids car seats. The rest of the Jeep is stock as of right now.
First mods I would like to start on are locker(s) and re-gear and a proper lift. I have some research still to do on the re-gear and lift choice. I am eyeing 4.88 for gears and Evo 3 or 4 inch enforcer or the RK 2.5 or 3.5 flex to start with and build from there. All input and suggestions are welcome, valued, and much appreciated.
