Enough with the chrome and lowering BS. Throw on a 1-2.5 spacer lift and 33's and you'll tackle anything within 100 miles of Manhattan. There is really not much here unless you go out on the Island (long island). Some of the members out there can help you out with that. And get a hard top so you can lock it cuase that thing will get broken into with a soft top sitting in Queens. One more thing why the hell would you leave Cali to come to New York?

My advice would be not to be in too big of a hurry. Spend the next 6 months to a year on the forum and maybe join a club and go on some ride along with others. One thing I can almost guarantee is that your thoughts and wants will change over time. You will save a ton of money by doing something once. If you buy something that you have to change you will be getting pennies on the dollar when you try to unload it and it actually will delay you getting what you really want.
By the way, welcome and good luck, GRIZZ

I live about 90 miles north of Manhattan. I'm wondering how you (in California) know about "hella places to go off-roading." I've been searching, and only found a few. I guess you have better resources/more friends than I do. When you get to NYC and want to go wheeling and know some trails, hit me up!

Mud Terrain Tires and Sway Bar Disconnect is really all you need for a very capable offroad machine. Anything else is a bonus. Resist the temptation to add appearance items unless you have the extra $$$.

What do u want?
Just depends on what you want the jeep for. I have 2 jeeps a 93 YJ and a JK that i just bought a week ago. My yj is the wheeler and the jk is DD. I just put in the TeraFlex leveling kit in my JK and plan on going with new wheels with 33s. Now my yj it is lifted about 10 inchs has a HP44 front axle and 9inch in the rear locked up F&R with 4.88s. Just depends on what u want if its going to be a DD dont go big i would say 4 inches with 35s max and thats if you want to re-gear the axles. If its mainly offroad the skies the limit. Or ur state laws. lol

in a wrangler?..thanks brahs.I just added DuraTracs on mine.
If you wanna do a quick fun mod, the sill guards are worthwhile IMHO, and were only $36.00 new at my dealer.
Enjoy
