Hey everyone, I'm making this thread more for me to track the progress of my Jeep over time. Not doing extreme buggy builds like some of you are, but I have nothing to do at work today so here goes...

Started out as a stock TJ


Then it got a little budget boost


Then a small body lift and 33"s


Front and rear bumpers next




My girlfriend bought me lights for Christmas...also threw on some rock sliders somewhere along the line.



As she sits now.


Sorry if this isn't considered "a build" officially, but I thought it would be cool to keep track of progress and organize all the pictures.

-Cheers, Cody

this is a nice looking jeep!

Funny, when I had my TJ, it was built simular, 33's + BB + BL... I never got to the bumpers, but I always wanted to buy the bumpers/sliders you have. I had canyons on it too! If yours was only white....

They all look like this when they start.
Kazu started with a bone stock YJ on 31's and ended up with rockwels and 47's, give it time you never know where its going to end up!

i bought my tj bone stock and on 29's 6 years ago.  i couldn't even change my own oil. 

i'd recomend that you come out and wheel your jeep with us

I did get her out once at the Gutter with you guys right before it closed. It just seems that whenever there is a run scheduled I have other plans. For example, there is one this weekend and I am going to Pennsylvania. I really hope I can get to the wheeling 101 in the fall though if it happens.

Cody, your Jeep looks great and you'll done a good job with the upgrades.

If your interested in exorcizing your tj on some easy/moderate trails and can't make a club run let me know.

nice TJ, looks clean...my YJ was a beauty when i got it...
all straight and shiny!! just like yours...now it's all bent
and scratched up!! either way, enjoy it and build whatever works for you
not everyone wants to one ton their jeep.

When I got my current YJ, it was only 4 years old, 50K miles, never had the hard top off and the only "mod" was the air brushed clown fish white spare tire cover.

now the only thing that has not been touched it the transmission.

man looks great Cody, good idea to start a thread to track everything for a variety of reasons.

as far as being hardcore...there are a lot of guys out there, not necessarily here, who have modified their rigs to a point they wish they could return from to be more streetable/enjoyable/family friendly/legal whatever. 

Keep up the good work!

Box came in the mail while I was away for the weekend. Looks like I have plans for Sunday now.

Picked up this bikini, windjammer, duster combo dirt cheap.


And also picked up plans for next sunday too
