Just bought a stock 01 tj a few months ago. Got it for $1500. Had to put $2500 in it for repairs. Keeping it stock, just want something to cruise with the top off.
I guess I fall somewhere in the midrange, although with what I’ve spent in mods I could’ve bought another tj, even with doing all the work myself. Built as follows Metalcloak front/rear fenders Johnny joint shortarms/trackbars 4.5” lift springs and sye Fox 2.0 resi shocks custom tuned Metalcloak bump stops Currie steering 4:56 gears with Dana 44/Dana 30 Cromolly rear shafts rcv front shafts Yukon grizzly lockers front/rear Artec Dana 30 truss with Johnny joints Weld in roll cage Front/rear bumpers and winch Aftermarket rear shock mounts Aftermarket front control arm/trackbar mounts 35” cooper stt pros on 15” Mickey Thompson wheels The build is always moving forward and I’m sure I’ll do a stretch, tons, and 40’s at some point, but for now she’s solid. Will crawl 95% of the trails here in az but will also float through the whoops at 50mph.
Basic TJ owner here headed towards high dollar “Gen Right” TJ!!! Loved this video!!! So much fun! Keep up the great content! I bought her for 10k will end up with 60K in build but that was why I bought her!! Again live the vid!
Well my 98 Jeep wrangler TJ is pretty stock, riding on 31x10 1/2 AT tires. No lift. And I just had the steering assembly redone and my rear brakes done.
I drive a mostly stock TJ, not because I can't change it but they are rarer and rarer and the respect I get from modded Jeeps is crazy. It's an 01 Sahara in Stone White with the Camel Hardtop. The only mods have been some Halo LEDs, Stereo and speakers, and some other things that are just maintenance. I rock the stock for it's rarity. Don't get me wrong though...it's my fishing hole crawler Jeeps are great, they are whatever we want them to be. Keep up the content, man
Same. I get compliments on it almost every time I'm out. I kept stock headlights, but modded them with KSuspensions wiring that doubles the light output.
You left out Jeep traditionalists like myself who despise 4 dr limos and actually know what a Jeep is. I built my TJ to adapt to my area, a modest build for beach and dune wheelin'.

You forgot the Nostalgic TJ owner. The guy in his twenties that traded in his Beemer for a brand new '97 TJ as soon as they came out in 1996 (November of '96 to be exact) because he loved that they went back to round headlights, immediately drove it from Philly to Key West and drove the piss out of it for another ~11 years all over God's creation, had a family and had to upsize to a Suburban and then later got a Power Wagon to get back into wheeling but still haul everything including the kitchen sink, and then son got old enough to drive so he bought his son a 2005 LJ, which became his....I mean his son;s Jeep build.

@@SoFloJeeping thought you would get a kick out of that. Shrockworks sliders is about the only major mod on it right now, except for interior stuff. Rusty's 3" Long Arm and SLE / Woods rear drive shaft combo on order. Goal is to make this a solid wheeler that is his daily and handles well on street. Shooting for 35" muddies, 4.88 gears and lockers.
guys please dont be offended by kids hopping on the internet with their unprofessional opinions. I have a TJ and in no way or form calls it a jk. In fact, the jk engines are the worst built. inline 6 are more reliable and easier to work on, which is why it lasted so long in the war and now lasting. These are just his thoughts and should not be taking to heart. If it makes you feel better, stop at min marker 3:24 , read the description on the lower left of the screen and look at his face. He already knew people wouldnt agree. Its just his thoughts with not much primary sources to back them up. google "What is the most reliable engine for Jeep Wrangler?" and see what jeep is the true jeep and why Tjs are selling higher than ever. You can get a Tj for the same price as a Gladiator..... insane and my life partner and I will keep to sell later as it is a vintage classic. Just look at the video to help this guy get some coins for views. its just entertainment guys.
@@SoFloJeeping and i had a 2018 jk golden eagle. and hated it so much i didn't even keep it a year. but i fail to see why any of it matters. maybe some of us just don't like being labeled.
I believe my LJ will keep the resale value after years .. good luck with those JK Fiat 😜 My LJ already is priced more then some Jk in your local dealership 😉
The Amazon guys have to be Amazon guys... We got families, mortgages, kids sports,kids college, and weddings to pay for... Whatever's left in the ashtray is all we got to do whatever we can afford to play with our toys in the garage...lol
I'm late to the party here being 5 months deep since you uploaded the video. You are definitely knowledgeable about parts and suppliers for TJs. Mad respect for being informed and well versed on the subject. You kept my attention with my BS and opinion detector on zero. I think I fall in the capable wheeler with a little bit of Genright high dollar action going on. Wish I could share pictures. She's a beaut. Good content ... I subbed.
Let me tell you what Melba Toast is packing, we got 4:11 posi out back, Edelbrock intake, board over .30, 11 to 1 pop up pistons, Turbo Jet 390 HP... some bucking muscle.
I'm a little bit of an Amazon and a little basic lifted tj. Going to go 33s and probably a 3.5-4 inch lift cause I daily it but wanna off road it a bit without spending a fortune and I do want to upgrade my lights to LEDs. But otherwise its staying how it is cause jeep nailed it with the tj
You totally forgot one jeep owner that everyone has seen... the girly jeep, lots of pink or purple, says something like "jersey girls rock" on the top of the windshield, some furry steering wheel cover or seat covers, usually the Sahara or at least painted stock fender flares.
There's no such thing as an Amazon Tj. You cant buy one on there. Buying accessories or any parts on Amazon is just a more convenient site to find all in one place. It opaque to see how people, who don't run businesses, have something to say to down the most popular companies. However, if one was to run a business, they will see that most of the products on Amazon is from all types of known or unknown companies that found another platform to market their products. We even purchased some items that was from Extreme Terrain on Amazon. We looked at their site and it was the same price without amazon cut. Those who go against Amazon and Jeff will be left behind just like those in 1994 who clowned that "jeff didnt know what he was doing and was selling too much stuff under the sun in his company" They even clowned his library start up that kicked everything off. I purchase from anywhere that fits the price and have great quality. I also know when to purchase less valuable things that dont last long for certain purposes.
Just giggling, 2003 TJ Jurassic Park 2.5 suspension lift, 31 on stock red wheel, 411 gears, super 35, 5 speed. Saving for Cummins 2.8 or maybe a new Jeep and start over?
Directly in the third camp. 35s, stock Dana 44 with upgraded shafts and custom mid arms. 4inch lift. Would love to be in the high dollar TJ group though. Not going to lie
This was great.. I have a TJ and I want to accessorize, I’ve asked folks about the angry eyes and I think based upon feedback and this video I will likely just upgrade them to LeDs.. I’m like the guy below.. I am kinda Amazon.. but only $1500 worth.. so I couldn’t buy up to the 4 door. Mine is a 2005 TJ with 133k on it.. I’m just hoping nothing big goes and costs me a fortune, I’m about to get a car shield policy.
Not to be rude BigReox7 but who cares what other people think. Properly building your rig for crawling is one thing but cosmetics is up to you. Go against the trend and build what you want.
Stock owner here. I’m cheap and like my vehicles to last. I’ve noticed when you see an old cj, Yj on the road they are always stock. Old stock Jeeps catch my eye to.
Ok @SoFloJeeping so with this video, which TJ would YOU build??? I've had mine for 14 years and it's my daily driver. Would love to do a Pre-Runner build or a "Dessert Racer" build that would also be an ok rig to daily....... What would be YOUR TJ build????
@whitwolf717 I've tried my absolute hardest to try to get my hands on a brute for a reasonable price on a few auction sites so probably that lol. One of the genright guys has a super rad TTB LJ. Not sure if you've seen it
@SoFloJeeping no I haven't seen this one. My TJ is all stock except tires & wheels, running 33x12.50x17..... need to regear since I can not currently use 5th gear LOL. Still would like to build a Pre-Runner build so I would have clearance, flex & play around with a suspension that could handle some punishment lol What do you think, worth it???
I guess my TJ is the mid range wheeler. JKUR Dana 44s, 4.88s, highline fenders, and 37s. I was going to "buggy" my YJ but it is too clean to cut up. It's just my "classic Jeep" cruiser now lol.
hahaha awesome man, I just picked up a 98 Jeep TJ and cant believe how much I am falling in love with it already. I did just post a video on my channel about it if your interested in having a look.
I'm the bone stock lj owner with a set of junk tons ready to be messed or a currie 9in rear and a hp44 front,and with some badass suspension parts than can be slapped on my jeep and other miscellaneous parts like lights a winch......a bunch of stuff Soooooo......idk I bought this jeep lj to keep it stock and as a daily but when you have parts laying its hard not to make a badass build 🤣🤣,its hard out here man Also I got a rubi ecodiesel gladiator as a daily as well and already it's magically got a oil filter bypass kit and a small lift from MC ,diff covers,skid plates/belly pan and somehow I got a set of Maxxis 37s that I bought for cheap sittin in my garage waiting for a set a wheels 😅.........I could also put them 37s on my lj once I build the axles I got 😀
You forgot guys like me, I got a set of brand new jk Rubicon wheels with bfg mudders (5-for $500) slapped them on my tj,2" lift springs on the front. Stocker kinda group?
I’m amused most if not all JK,JL owners are under the impression TJ owners want a newer 4 dr jeep. Maybe some day when I get enough money and match with every soccer mom I’ll be accepted. Just playing I know we will never be accepted.😀😀😀
@@rappidgamer142 I've seen 5k mileage Saharas sell for over 25 grand..... The Rubicon came with danna 44 front and pack, nvt transfer case, rockers, etc from factory....Plus the TJ was peak jeep, iconic reliable amc straight six , amazing turning ratio and small foot print for crawling...... It was one of the first factory vehicles to do be able to do the Rubicon trial, stock .. Why do you think it's called "Jeep Rubicon"? I've seen low mileage TJ rubis go for 40 grand mint condition..... .....
@@SoFloJeeping i have a 2006 jeep rubicon with only 82k on it 😎 should i build it out? it has a fox lift on it. should i put aftermarket parts on it or leave it more stock
I would say I have a tasteful, not as gaudy as your examples, “wanna be jk” tj. I took 3 years deciding how I wanted to make it look and I couldn’t Be happier w how it turned out
I LOVE THIS VIDEO.... the one that boggles my mind 100% is the wannabe JK.. im the dude with an 04 Rubicon trying to make mine look like it came out in the 80s.... i subbed... i love the video.. OMG.. the amazon wrangler is LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.. before the internet it was JC Whitney
man this was a great vid but i got a question, would you recommend this for a first car? im 16 and i am really considering getting a TJ. i was thinking i could use it as a daily driver and when the weather gets nice maybe take it on a trail or something.
It's meant to be fun not critical. If you really gotta now the TJ rubicon is the thumbnail was mine and I currently have a 1 ton jk build you are more than welcome to check out @soflo_jk on ig. Critics welcome 😉
JKs just don’t look appealing to the eye when they are decked out. A tj does tho but that is my personal opinion because I drive an 01 … and I disagree fully on the truck conversion they look horrible🤮 After watching this I have come to the conclusion that you have no taste and have no idea what your talking about
Disclaimer, don't get affended, hey little baby boy. You said you wish you could have one just to beat the hell out of. Ohhh it's 94 degrees you better get inside before you melt. Real men backed by Real women made jeeping and off roading what it is today . Get off your stool/ chair and start building like we did some 40 years ago.
I watched the jk video and I’m sort of the same. Only bought a bumper from Amazon for my Ik because I didn’t have a job. About to buy more stuff from 4wd, extreme terrain, and Quadratec
IDK why I wasted my time watching that video..I suppose your the perfect TJ owner? You've done just the perfect amount of mods 2 urs witch separates you from everyone else.
Late comment but whatever. You have great content but the actual structure and way you do your video is awful. You have too many pauses and "um"'s and you don't trim your clips. Just taking the part out from when you stop talking and when you stop the recording makes it so muhc more professional
Back when I was a kid the Amazon guys would have had to order all their stuff from the J. C. Whitney catalog.
WEll, I BELIEVE THAT THE TJ'S WERE THE LAST REAL JEEPS EVER MADE BUT THAT'S MY OPINION. 🌚

@SoFloJeeping no I haven't seen this one.
My TJ is all stock except tires & wheels, running 33x12.50x17..... need to regear since I can not currently use 5th gear LOL.
Still would like to build a Pre-Runner build so I would have clearance, flex & play around with a suspension that could handle some punishment lol
What do you think, worth it???
@@SoFloJeeping is that TTB LJ keep the Silver Surfer jeep?
@@whitwolf717 check out joeybickers on Instagram. Its a super sweet rig
I used to be a wild Rockwell axle TJ guy.
Now I’m a Dad stock TJ,
Every 2.5 ton becomes a d30 with age. I heard there's a blue pill to help with that
I guess my TJ is the mid range wheeler. JKUR Dana 44s, 4.88s, highline fenders, and 37s. I was going to "buggy" my YJ but it is too clean to cut up. It's just my "classic Jeep" cruiser now lol.
That's a sweet setup! It's impressive what that jk axles can do under a light rig like a TJ
Surprised there was no mention for mall crawlers like myself😂
That doesn't need to be said. We're all mall crawlers at heart 😂
hahaha awesome man, I just picked up a 98 Jeep TJ and cant believe how much I am falling in love with it already. I did just post a video on my channel about it if your interested in having a look.
That's a pretty sweet little tj!
@@SoFloJeeping thanks man I am pretty stoked
I run 33's Because I overland, I do agree with what you said about the types of TJ owners.
Honestly 33s will get you to 99% of the world. But I still have to poke fun lol
I'm the bone stock lj owner with a set of junk tons ready to be messed or a currie 9in rear and a hp44 front,and with some badass suspension parts than can be slapped on my jeep and other miscellaneous parts like lights a winch......a bunch of stuff
Soooooo......idk I bought this jeep lj to keep it stock and as a daily but when you have parts laying its hard not to make a badass build 🤣🤣,its hard out here man
Also I got a rubi ecodiesel gladiator as a daily as well and already it's magically got a oil filter bypass kit and a small lift from MC ,diff covers,skid plates/belly pan and somehow I got a set of Maxxis 37s that I bought for cheap sittin in my garage waiting for a set a wheels 😅.........I could also put them 37s on my lj once I build the axles I got 😀
I got given a tj n parts are so hard to find in australia. mine boutta be the wannabe jk cross with some others
You forgot guys like me, I got a set of brand new jk Rubicon wheels with bfg mudders (5-for $500) slapped them on my tj,2" lift springs on the front. Stocker kinda group?
Oem+! Honestly imo some of the best/cleanest looking jeepsnout there lol
@@SoFloJeeping thanks bro, watching your Rubicon build journey
Loved this video. Very funny and spot on.
Thanks!
Nailed it!
I’m amused most if not all JK,JL owners are under the impression TJ owners want a newer 4 dr jeep. Maybe some day when I get enough money and match with every soccer mom I’ll be accepted. Just playing I know we will never be accepted.😀😀😀
Not all tj guys just some of them 😉
I’ll admit, I’m the stock Rubicon TJ owner! In the process of restoring my TJ to sell it for 30k 🤣
I wish I was in those shoes!
30k !!?? Where are u I just got a Sahara 2001 for 8 good condition
@@rappidgamer142 I've seen 5k mileage Saharas sell for over 25 grand..... The Rubicon came with danna 44 front and pack, nvt transfer case, rockers, etc from factory....Plus the TJ was peak jeep, iconic reliable amc straight six , amazing turning ratio and small foot print for crawling...... It was one of the first factory vehicles to do be able to do the Rubicon trial, stock .. Why do you think it's called "Jeep Rubicon"? I've seen low mileage TJ rubis go for 40 grand mint condition..... .....
The Tj Rubicon was perfectly engineered..... The E46 M3 of Wranglers..... The TJ generation needs more purists........
Great info. I'm a stock 06 LJ Rubicon owner in Central FL.
Ooooh I love me an lj rubi lol
@@SoFloJeeping i have a 2006 jeep rubicon with only 82k on it 😎
should i build it out? it has a fox lift on it. should i put aftermarket parts on it or leave it more stock
@@danielwolfe5374 honestly sell it while the market is hot 😂
@@danielwolfe5374 thats a gold mine lol
Where's the jeep in the cover photo for the video?That looks like my buddy's jeep he sold.
I owned it for a bit and now a local here in daytona owns it.
I got 60k miles on my 06 rubicon. I still rock crawl it. Those miles are pretty brutal.
Dude you're sitting on a gold mine lol
Me still rocking the fender flarea
Mine is all stock just a little lift and bigger wheels
That's honestly all you need for 90% of trails
@@SoFloJeeping yeah all I’m trying to get is a hard top because the soft one makes so much noise😂
Stereotyping TJ Jeepers.
Hopefully there's no tj cancel culture 😬
@@SoFloJeeping lol
Have to admit I'm a big fan of the angry eye grills.
Hey, Whats wrong with GenRight everything!!!! LOL!!!
Absolutely nothing! Wish my pockets were deep enough for it!
I would say I have a tasteful, not as gaudy as your examples, “wanna be jk” tj. I took 3 years deciding how I wanted to make it look and I couldn’t Be happier w how it turned out
That's all that matters!
What about the overlander?
Pssshhh who wants to build an overlander out of something the size of a shoebox
@@SoFloJeeping lol. People who like a challenge.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO.... the one that boggles my mind 100% is the wannabe JK.. im the dude with an 04 Rubicon trying to make mine look like it came out in the 80s.... i subbed... i love the video.. OMG.. the amazon wrangler is LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.. before the internet it was JC Whitney
Glad you liked it 😂😂😂😂😂
I'm the stock tj with just 31s lol 245k miles
And with that 4.0 it'll go another 100k lol
1:25 due thats my exact setup wth
U forgot about the tj guys that think every new Jeep isn’t an actual Jeep
They made themselves apparent enough in the comments
Lol I’m over here on 2.5 lift and 33s
That's honestly good enough for 90% of the trails in the country lol
You forgot the million dollar build TJ that only goes to the store.
man this was a great vid but i got a question, would you recommend this for a first car? im 16 and i am really considering getting a TJ. i was thinking i could use it as a daily driver and when the weather gets nice maybe take it on a trail or something.
Honestly I think a TJ is a great first car. It's a lot of fun and the 4.0 is a super reliable engine
@@SoFloJeeping thank you bro im really looking forward to getting one and modding it out
@@kadetyt they're definitely fun!
And that’s your opinion
This little snot wouldn't know a real Jeep if it fell on him.
Who rims out a Jeep Wrangler?
Flares look better. Might as well buy a rock crawler the way you have it?
It's a rock crawler that still has heat and cruises 80 ;)
I am in the list. Don't give two shits you're roasting me you still get a thumbs up. Jeep on.
This is the kind of attitude I like to see 👊👊
I wish you could put pictures in comments
Okay , which of the 10 type are you ?????
The type that sold his tj when the market spiked lol
No Overlander Bro with cages over everything so you can carry the apocalypse gear, awning and roof tent?
I added them to the jk guys since they normally like the 4 doors 😂
Hey it’s me!
I swear I only have one genright thing on mine. And it’s not my fault I had too 🤣🤣
😂😂 genright fuel tank saga ptsd?
@@SoFloJeeping lolol
Good video
Thanks!!!!
Love your channel man!
@@SoFloJeeping Thanks brother! I appreciate it!
I am an old man with a stock Jeep!
What about a wannabe jk guy who wheels too 🤔🤔
Too rare 😂
‘99 TJ Sahara, single owner, only upgrade has been to take out the tape player it originally came with (but I still have it somewhere).
I guess I’m a Basic… 😎
No talk about the owner at all... 😅
Ive heard Grumpers are worth 25hp!
27 to be exact
Since you are very critical of TJ owners, tell us what type u fall under and show us your Jeep So we can criticized you!
It's meant to be fun not critical. If you really gotta now the TJ rubicon is the thumbnail was mine and I currently have a 1 ton jk build you are more than welcome to check out @soflo_jk on ig. Critics welcome 😉
“Gotta now” lol holy shit the grammar to match the opinion
Ok let's get serious. Rate my TJ. Nothing will offend me.
Solid 8. I actually love tjs. I had one lol. Don't know why so many people got pissed off at the video lol
0:45 I see myself
Is one of those yours lol
@@SoFloJeeping nope, I’m just the type to take off the top and drive around like it’s a go kart
@@Terence135 ah gotcha lol. Ngl one day I want to just get a bone stock tj, throw a 5.3 in it and use it for exactly that lol
I want my 9 mins back! Gonna get it from yo momma 🙃
JKs just don’t look appealing to the eye when they are decked out. A tj does tho but that is my personal opinion because I drive an 01 … and I disagree fully on the truck conversion they look horrible🤮
After watching this I have come to the conclusion that you have no taste and have no idea what your talking about
Disclaimer, don't get affended, hey little baby boy. You said you wish you could have one just to beat the hell out of. Ohhh it's 94 degrees you better get inside before you melt. Real men backed by Real women made jeeping and off roading what it is today . Get off your stool/ chair and start building like we did some 40 years ago.
Sounds like I'm not the ones who's offended 🤷♂️ if you wanna get technical I'm putting a d60 together and your complaining on the internet 😉
I’m the Amazon one 😜
Come to the dark side 😉
I watched the jk video and I’m sort of the same. Only bought a bumper from Amazon for my Ik because I didn’t have a job. About to buy more stuff from 4wd, extreme terrain, and Quadratec
99 Sport, Ford 8.8 axle, Metalcloak lift and armor, cable shifter for the t-case, air lockers front and rear and 35" Cooper STT Pros.
That's a pretty solid build!
Amazon lol
I was thinking this would be funny, but...meh, it is not. However, it is all true.
No gay squat?
IDK why I wasted my time watching that video..I suppose your the perfect TJ owner? You've done just the perfect amount of mods 2 urs witch separates you from everyone else.
Nobody is a wannabe jk
😂😂😂 speaking the complete truth
😂😂😂
Late comment but whatever. You have great content but the actual structure and way you do your video is awful. You have too many pauses and "um"'s and you don't trim your clips. Just taking the part out from when you stop talking and when you stop the recording makes it so muhc more professional
I dont care what your tj looks like.. but if you have chrome wheels..you need to go to jail.
Didn’t mention the judgmental latest trend only millennial Jeep owners....
Also missed the ones that take jokes too seriously 😉 take a breath of fresh air and put on a smile will ya:)
