My son just returned home from being stationed overseas for the last 2 years and the whole time has been saving his money and dreaming of getting and building a Jeep when he got home. It only took him 4 days to find the Jeep he wanted and in this video we take you one a tour of the good and bad things of this 2006 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon TJ…. Sorry we didn’t get and LJ, but we’ll explain why in the video!

6 months ago I bought a 98 Wrangler Sport SE with the 5 speed. 8,000 miles, one owner, garaged it’s entire life. It was bone stock when I bought it, never even had the roof off. I put some new rubber floor liners in, leveled it, put some wheels on it and that’s it. Super fun weekend car. It’s only a 4 banger so I don’t go anywhere fast but I love the thing. It was a great find.

@toddmartin4471 4 года назад

So that transmission is finicky it has bronze guides so if you replace the gear oil in it i recommend Red-line synthetic or royal purple synchromesh. I took this advice from someone & it made a huge difference in shifting my 2005 LJ , just thought I’d share . You guys are the best much respect thank your son for serving.

@danhambrick6331 4 года назад

Congratulations...That is one sweet TJ.The six speed manual with the 4.0L is the cherry on top.....

@k5edd128 4 года назад

Thank your son for his service, and you too Sir. My Dad was Navy, WWII Aviation Machinist's Mate 1st class, use to ware his uniform as a kid. Very cool project for a father son. My son, grandson and I were going to take our Jeeps to SMORR's (Southern Missouri Off Road Ranch) in Seymour Missouri today, 100 miles away but 100% rain and 40 degrees, we backed out.

I bought my 06 TJ Rubicon 3 years ago. I'm so happy for you guys. I'm also happy that they have held their value so well. I still only have 76K miles. We need to preserve these classic TJs.

@justinhoman1593 4 года назад

Congrats on the Jeep! Extremely clean Tj’s are a hard find these days. Theres a lot youll have to change to get 35’s such as steering and youll want better brakes but i think its worth it. As soon as my fax money hits Ill be throwing a set of 35s on mine. Cant wait to see what you do to it!

@lukewhitecloud8240 4 года назад

Strong looking young man. You must be very proud of him. It makes me happy to know that there are high quality people like your family still walking the earth.

@boldrbangr9834 4 года назад

Congrats to your son for his service & his TJ! Your comment on weight really hit home. I just got a 2020 JLUR & added the usual mods: lift, 37's, bead locks, winch, electric step sliders, recovery kit, ARB twin compressor, jack, etc. My point being that my stock 4450 lb rig is likely now 1,000 lbs heavier! I may need to rethink what I carry with me on the trail.

@jerrymarsh5171 4 года назад

Hi Brad ! Awesome that your son is back! I hope you have a great time with the jeep build. Thanks for the time you put into filming all your great adventures. I use to think it would be nice meeting up out on the trail, however myself or my friends would feel a little out of place with all the super high dollar$$$ rigs you show on TrailRecon. There are more people that off road and overland 20+ year old vehicles than the High Dollar stuff! I use to be able to relate to the show, but that time is no longer. I wish you all the success in E3 and in your future endeavors. Thanks to you and your family for your service to this Great country and all the sacrifices made on my behalf and that of my family, it's appreciated!

@wyattoneable 4 года назад

@messix7768 4 года назад

no need for a sye on the rubicons. its already done from factory. and look into the savvy skid plate system

@Motorep146 4 года назад

Exactly what I was going to say and recommend. Savvy is a quick run up the 15 from SD and Gerald can get him setup no problem. In fact, it would make a great video to get a the behind the scenes look into Savvy Off-Road/Racing. My last TJ had every Savvy product available at the time and it wheeled like a champ!

@JeepTJWheelin 4 года назад

Just thinking that. My '05 TJ Rocky Mtn needs a sye, have to replace the transfer case drop kit. Looks terrible.

@Tanner731 4 года назад

@jameshaasdyk3657 4 года назад

Great choice going with a TJ. I miss mine everyday. Thanks for all the great videos. The only negative is that I am currently without a Jeep. Can't wait to get another one in the next couple months. Looking forward to following the build up on this one.

@robertmock7509 4 года назад

Welcome back home shipmate. You and your father look so much alike. Will truly enjoy watching your build. Make sure to vlog it Brad. Again welcome home.

@maverickreichert8876 4 года назад

If you ever planned on doing some hood louvres I would definitely recommend cutting out your holes first then having it prepped and sent to paint so all of your new exposed metal is nice and protected then installing your hood louvre. Great looking TJ👍🏻

Please thank Jordan for his service (and welcome home). Looking forward to seeing his build. Super excited for him. A great addition to the TrailRecon team.

Go with the Savvy aluminum front bumper! Comes with the winch mount! Savvy aluminum gas tank skid. You can raise it up with the body lift.

@JDR1971 4 года назад

I bought my 2004 with 78,000 miles on it several years ago and I suggest you change out the radiator(for an all metal one) and hoses straight away. mine would overheat in extreme conditions. Also, you don't need a SYE as you have a NP241OR which doesn't have a slip yoke. Go Savvy for all aluminum stuff, super light weight.

@johnstup4479 4 года назад

My first Jeep was a 2000 TJ. Love the plans your son has for this TJ. This will be great seeing this Jeep evolve over time.

@tmar9159 4 года назад

5:00 If you get rid of those plastic end caps and keep the front bumper for now, maybe get a set of Armadillo 11902 Xtreme Front Bumper Ends for 97-06 Jeep Wrangler TJ. Inexpensive, more tire clearance, and look MUCH better than those factory end caps

@playingbadgolfwell9732 4 года назад

Love it!! BTW: The black headlight and grill inserts are only $40 or so on eBay. I think it'll end up looking better and you can use the time saved for a different project on the Jeep. Again, loving the Jeep and am really looking forward to watching the build!

@mikemikemike2884 4 года назад

Congrats on the new vehicle. I'm glad to hear its not another crawler build. Sounds like your going to have a lot of fun with it.

@DanaBottomley 4 года назад

Nice! I also have a TJ Rubicon. Just changed from Rubicon Express lift (previous owner) to Metalcloak Lock and Load 4.5”. Big difference, really happy with it. I run 35’s with 5:13 gears.

@matthewthiessen1049 4 года назад

Speaking from owning and daily driving a TJ and being 22 stay below 4 inch! I wish I would've gone 3.5 inch with a 1 inch body lift and tummy tuck. The 4 inches is great and all but it rides stiff and you feel everything. At least with 3/3.5 you keep some of that stock control arm angle

@phxamigo 4 года назад

Sound advice, I have 05 LJ I personally wouldn't go over 2" suspension lift, or else your in for horrible ride, I eventually went with Rock Krawler 5" long arm kit

@trailrunnah8886 4 года назад

Congrats! What a great find, in such a good start for a build. I'm so jealous of all the clean older vehicles you guys have out in Cali. Most of the TJ's out here all rot boxes by now. I also love the soft top and half doors, I think that's perfect for a TJ in California.

@danbemman2271 4 года назад

@Leon-lp9fl 4 года назад

Your two great loves shine through all the time. Family and Jeeps!

@bustedback 4 года назад

There’s a place in Chula Vista called Jeep King or Camper King, they build and sell hard tops for Jeeps that are insulated and carpeted inside. They’re very quiet and nice. I recommend going with long arms if you’re going with a 4” lift on a TJ. Those short factory arms will make the ride very rough and unpleasant at 4 inches of lift. I also recommend installing a Centerforce dual friction clutch and high inertia flywheel when the time comes to replace the clutch. Good luck with your build and thank you and your son for your service.

Being a 2004 TJ owner, it will be exciting to see this build. I thought I was low miles with 119,000 but I guess being the original owner is key. So much fun to see your TJ being built, enjoy the process!

@keithblackburn7516 4 года назад

Right on with the ‘06 (bought new) TJ! That is the exact model and year that I have down to the color. Running 4.5” Rubicon Express long arms on 35” tires on 15” rims. I want the extra rubber for the air down ride. Full doors on mine and a Bestop twill top. Warm (Colorado temps) and fairly quiet. Armored underneath as well. Insane audio system. Sorry I don’t mean to go on but I’m just as excited to see you build your TJ as I was building mine and my gal did her JK.
