Jeep News
Going off-road will take its toll on your Jeep. While the underside takes the most abuse, the body can become equally carved up with dents and exposed-metal pinstripes. Many of these marks can be seen as badges of honor. A showcase of sorts, littered with memories and trail tales from your Jeep’s history.
For our dedicated wheeling rigs, we couldn’t care less about winning the local show-and-shine. So, if our rigs are a little rough around the edge, that’s perfectly OK. For those still toeing the delicate line of a daily driven wheeler, shredding sheetmetal is high on the things to avoid list. We get it. Driving up to work Monday with your fender zip-tied to your rig might make for a good story around the water cooler, but it’s not the best way to pick up a hot date.
We recently picked up a mostly stock ’04 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Obviously, it didn’t stay stock for long as you can read about elsewhere in this issue. The longer wheelbase makes for a great ’wheeling platform, but the increased body means more exposed sheetmetal. Without question, there is a tremendous amount of aftermarket armor upgrades for the ’97-’06 TJ and ’04-’06 LJ platforms.
The challenge is finding the right parts that fit your build, budget, and needs. We’ll show you more of what we decided on in a future issue. In this installment, we are delving into the bench-racing parts-picking process and mulling over options.
