Planning out the perfect Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.
WHEN IT COMES TO BUILDING A VEHICLE, YEARS OF EXPERIENCE HAS taught us you have to go in with a game plan. Failure to plan out your build in advance is a surefire way to end up with more work and money spent. Justin Griggs’ ’05 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon is an excellent example of executing a well-laid plan. Justin knew exactly how he wanted to build his LJ, and he went all-in over three months’ time and did just that.
While he’s actually a full-time dealership technician on a certain type of British 4x4 that we won’t mention here, his passion for wheeling and Jeeps drew him to the long-wheelbase Wrangler platform. Since he wanted something capable of hardcore trails and taking his family to the beach, the Unlimited platform made the most sense. To get the Jeep where it is today, Justin did as much of the work as he could at his home garage and left the rest to the capable hands at Low Range 4x4 in Wilmington, North Carolina.
As is the case with all new builds, there is always a little fine tuning to be done. For now, Justin plans to continue enjoying the Wrangler on the trail and wherever his adventures may take him.

JEEP OR BLAZER BUILDING
I was hoping to pick your brain as to a couple of different builds. I have a '19 Jeep Wrangler JL and a '74 Chevy Blazer. I'm a little baffled as to what to focus on. The '74 full convertible Blazer is my dream vehicle. She's been a long build and now I am thinking of focusing my energy on my wife's '19 Jeep JL. I recently joined a Jeep club and have been going off-road with a few guys. I'm shopping around for lift kits. Would you suggest that my time be spent and focused on the Blazer or enjoy the Jeep? I really can't do both.
