As a CJ owner I know little to nothing about the TJ of our breed, other than renting them and being surpised at the level of abuse they can take /wwwthreads_images/icons/smile.gif.
My sister is wants to purchase a TJ in the very near future, and since she was an avid 4 wheeler in her old 4 runner, I think she will take the TJ out for a walk now and then. She has enough $ to buy new and get the appropriate fixins to go with it so, my questions are:
1. 5 speed or automatic which is more robust? Which tranny is the strongest dealer option?
2. Transfer case, again strongest option?
3. Diffs, what is the strongest, best option. She does not necessary need lockers, if she wants the later I assume the after market options are much better than the dealers.
If the TJ owners out there could let me know what options are the best and why (What would YOUR TJ look like rolling off the dealer lot with no $ limit)
I believe jeeps are built not bought, but my sis won't build (Yet) /wwwthreads_images/icons/wink.gif.
TIA as always!!
