New build advice needed.

Wow, I hadn't considered that, that's a great piece of information. Thank you very much for the heads up!

If you do go with a 2 door or live in the rust belt, here are some braces/reinforcement that you could buy or cut yourself.

Or you just find a MJ.....

Comanches are cool, but I've always wanted to do a Cherokee.

Yeah, I'm in Michigan so plenty of rust buckets around. Those braces will come in handy if I need to rust repair whatever I buy, hoping to find something decent but that won't be easy up here.

I also forgot to mention in my posts to check out Circle-S industries on Ebay, IG, or FB I think. He sells a really nice Bumper tie-in/nut strip or the DIY bumper builder kit.

Something else I forgot was a steel steering box spacer and grade 8 bolts. I think Ironman4x4 and a few others sell kits that come with bolts.

Also if you do a late model, chances are you will need a replacement metal center console latch and brace.
