was the pwderpuff thing by barstow...yes
I was pretty sure I saw your rig with the Ranger in the back like that on Saturday.
Tell that guy to leave your bumper alone.. lol
Don't really keep up with the newer ones. I'm more into the older CJ's. The only draw back is they only made CJ-5's before 1975 so in Cali you will have to deal with smog laws on a CJ-7.
The Rubicons are very capable rigs but they do come with a price. I am more of the "buy an older and build it to what I want" type of guy so it would really just matter on how much you want to spend and what's on the market. There are countless after market parts for any jeep out ther e from 1976 and up.
Nice Jeep! Thanks for the info. There is a lot of used jeeps out there. I am working on a deal for a 97 TJ that already has a 4" lift on it with 33" tires. It does not have a/c but I can always add it later.

Thanks.
Yep there are add on Ac kits for sure. So your 97 with have Dana 30 Axle up front and a 35 out back. Fine for 33's and moderate use like you describe.
Garvin makes all kind of wildneress racks, etc that might suite you well for camping/hunting.
Pass on the 4cyl if it has one especially if you plan to load it down with gear.
