2005 LJ new to me....

[JBailey]

Owned this LJ less than a month and hit a deer on the way to work... Well let the mods begin.
Brought it home. Bone stock 2005 LJ with 65k miles, changed the wheels out to late model JK Moab wheels, found a used soft top, and installed 3" Teraflex kit.

Started on new fenders to replace deer hit damage. Work in progress

Nice LJ. How do you like the tera 3" springs?

 

[JBailey]

Just put the lift on. I have driven maybe 10 miles on it. Drives nice. It feel firm but not harsh. The stock springs felt mushy...

Congrats on the new LJ.

Hope to have the fender project buttoned up over the weekend...
So I can start enjoying it again!

 

[JBailey]

All done except cleaning the shop...

Added and odyssey battery while I was at it.

That looks great! Love the CJ style turn markers on the front clip

 

[JBailey]

Used JK signals in the grill. Drilled holes and popped in the old TJ lights. Easies part of the whole project!

Great looking truck. Just picked up a 2005 myself. It reminds me a lot of my old 1969 Jeep commando.
What did you do to make those JK moab's to fit? Spacers?

LJ is such an awesome Jeep.
I was really close to buying an '05 Unlimited Rubi, but ended up with an '04 G.C. Overland due to two big dogs, and a girlfriend who appreciated the "finer" things in life... lol
Thinking back, a fully mod'ed '05 Ulimited Rubi would have cost less. :elkgrin:
.
In all fairness I loved the G.C., but there is no substitute for a Wrangler.
Will look forward to following along with your build. :beer:
