Blue Jay

1997 Jeep Wrangler TJ SE Utility 2D

I’ve had this reliable 4 banger since 2003. I’ve done all the work and this is definitely a BUDGET build. Is it really a build if it takes more than 10 years and you never finish? It’s built for trails and does it well. Street manners are still pretty good.
