    My modified ZJ thread.

    I've thought over the years that I should probably do a build thread like everyone else. Then I realized that I was not building anything. "Jeeps are built, not bought" Ok, whatever. I did not build my jeep, but I am modifying it. My thought process in this was to have the amenities I want...
