Mine's an SE, but had the V8 and tow package. So I've got the D44a in the rear. I've heard mixed reviews about that. Maybe I'll just get a stronger aftermarket diff cover and leave it at that.

Wish I had the auto dimming mirrors, going to see if I can get a wire harness out of another WJ that had that feature so I can get an auto dimming side mirror. I work 2nd shift, so do a lot of night driving and everyone driving new cars with LED headlights are blinding me!

When I do finally retire my WJ from daily driving duties and decide to only use it for trail riding, I'd like to get a winch for the front. But I haven't found a bumper I like yet. Any suggestions?

My goal for the wj is gonna be daily driver and light trails (basically to get to a campsite or trailhead for hiking). I have found a 2004 with 55,000 miles owned by an elderly old man with an NRA sticker on the window haha. Hopefully she will treat me well. Looking forward to starting a build thread soon. Thank you all

Very low mileage for sure and the NRA sticker that's a good thing. Sounds like it was well taken care of and I have not had any issues with mine in 3 yrs.
