Post Pic's of your Jeep

I'm so stoked I found this site. I mostly use my rig to camp and overland so this site is perfect.

The point of my build, with this Jeep, is a Practical Jeep that I can drive to work every day while also take it camping in the Nevada outback on the same day.
I had always wanted an LJ but being a broke college kid, a well-maintained LJ was out of the price range. I finally came across this one in late 2021 and pulled the trigger.

When I set out to buy this thing I knew I was going to have it forever and was pretty picky. The Jeep I would buy absolutely had to have these 3 things:
1. Below 100,000 miles. Preferably closer to 70,000-80,000 miles.
2. Had to have a hardtop. Where I live not only gets all 4 seasons but I do so much interstate and highway driving I wanted something more sturdy.
3. Very little, to zero frame rust.

It definitely was a bit of a long drive to pick it up in Oregon but it was worth it. It's a 2006 Auto and had all 3 of my requirements. When I bought it only had 59,000 on it. Given the car market was a joke in 2021, I paid a fairly high price for it by today's standards... However, given the cleanness of it and having all 3 of my requirements (And even a few other things I really wanted) I pulled the trigger and never looked back. I've done quite a bit of work to it already and am not even close to being done. Here are a couple of pics!

I tend to agree with @ZONE ZERO. That is one nice looking 2dr. JL!

Do you know the name of the colour? It's similar to JKs which I believe are "Sting Grey". I think JLs have a different name for their grey. I painted my LJ a similar colour of grey and had the JKs and JLs in mind. Jeep TJs and TJ Unlimiteds ( LJs) never came if grey. I think they would have sold well!

Side by side they appear closer in colour than in this pic.

Nice!!! Looks like its been modified a bit. What do you have planned for it?
I've been wanting one of these for a while to gear up with more period-correct gear for travel.

Yeah it has a few things handled already, nice thing about that is it’s all stuff I would have done myself so it’s like I got a little head start!
End goal is more of a “crawlverlander” so it’ll be getting camping gear type setup/layout and while also focusing heavily on it being a very capable family wheelin rig.
