Future Plans

We are planning on keeping this Jeep as a daily driver and performing upgrades on a budget.  After spending 30K on a new Jeep who needs to spend another couple of thousand to upgrade it.  See the Additions, Installations, Modifications, Projects, and How-To's page for what's going on with this Jeep.
