My guess would be that Chris took some time off because he has read the dialogue on this page 1,345 times and decided to spend some of his free time doing something besides beating a horse to death.

I’ll most likely add the leveling kit since it’s sitting in a box in the closet right now, and then maybe a tonneau cover.
Gotta find the right at the right price so I don’t throw off my mortgage numbers too bad. We want something to drive on the weekends, beach, off-road, etc. and I might bring it to work once a week.

will never really be a great wheeling vehicle, but a great DD and all-arounder. I wouldn't touch it further than you already have, but that's just me.
I would highly suggest getting something coil sprung like a TJ or JK. 3.8 JK 2-doors should be getting pretty cheap these days, worth looking out for if one could be had for cheaper than a TJ.

TJ or 3.8 JK are my front runners. I saw a nice blue JK for like $13.5 with some Rubi take-off wheels and tires. Was all until I saw the carfox anndddd it’s a theft recovery vehicle with differential damage.
That's a pretty tough place to be...
You'll be be looking at a 02-04 TJ for that price... 02s still have the fked up heads... I would look for something that was rebuilt at that point already... 15+ years old would need all new suspension pieces as well.

Good chance I’ll hold off until Q1 before pulling the trigger on anything. See what my raise/bonus sitch might look like.
No harm in looking, that's the fun part.

If it's in nice shape and you can use it as leverage to lower the price, I'd still do it. Find a set of Rubicon take-off axles and swap them in. The 4.10's and lockers would be a nice upgrade for not a ton of money IMO.

I am on the 3.8 jeeps, the engine itself is OKAY, but the 4 speed trans is legit, maybe it's ok for a cruiser
Can't be worse than a TJ.

That is dogshit I couldn't stand it... even the TJ was better... those epic throws, no deadpedal... weird clutch uptake etc etc
I didn't hate the in my JK. But I was used to in a CJ, which is...agricultural to say the least.

Yea and the Tranny in the JL is actually fine, I really didn't mind driving it... however in a JLUR I felt like the engine didn't have enough torque, it was lugging pretty hard under 2.5k rpms... I would go Auto, except on the 2 door/stripper.

Man, the JT I drove was terrible. The gears are all wrong.
When the 8-speed is as good as it is, the is irrelevant IMO.

Also, it’s def gonna be a 2 door, TJ or JK.
Ah, smart. Best for a toy/wheeler.
