Default jk vs tj?

im about to graduate, may decide leave the jk unlimited with the little bro.
tjs jus seem to have the iconic jeep look to them...tired of moms giving me the "wave" from their stock x's. no offense. but really..what major differences in the tj and jk are there...can i make a tj as good and keep the look i like? jks seem alittle...fat to me

A stock JK is much more capable off-road than a stock TJ

You can put 35" on a stock JK

If you prefer the look of the TJ, it's your choice and I respect that

I'm 21...I care about how it rides. I have 2 jeeps (a YJ and JK) a mustang and a motorcycle, I daily drive my JK, so of course I want it to have a nice ride. My JK is the only Jeep I've ever owned that I don't mind taking it on a long trip. Its your call though. Nothing wrong with the TJ, just not as "nice" of a daily driver
