Just like the title says, I'm deployed and planning on purchasing my first jeep when I get home. I would like to get a new 2012 2 door Rubicon, install the 4in offroad evo lift, Tom Woods drive shafts and 35in tires. I'm going to do the work in my driveway. I've never owned a Jeep so I'm really looking forward to getting one and turning wrenchs on it. Any advice you guys or gals have would be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance!

 

First off thanks for your service man! The plans sound great. I'm a little to new to the Jeep world to give advice I'm toatly stock right now tryin' to save up for some mods. Can't wait to see some pics. of what you are going to do. Get back soon and stay safe!

 

You have come to the right place. Congrats and welcome to the forum! Thank you for your service and stay safe!

 

Welcome...and thank you. You will find many opinions on this forum so do a lot of reading and make your decisions based on what type of wheeling you want to do and to fit your personal tastes. I'll add my two cents on the TW shafts with the qualifier that I don't have them so take my opinion with a grain of salt. With that said, I have read a lot of posts lately from people who are less than pleased with their TW shafts and the service after the sale.

 

I have been lurking on the forum for about a month and it has been an amazing wealth of information. 3 of my buddies own jeeps and have really put a lot of work into them. There really the reason I sold my Frontier and decided to go with a Jeep. The aftermarket support is amazing, it's nice having choices. Also I can appreciate how easy it is to actually work on a Jeep compared to my old truck. As for the drive shafts thanks for the heads up I will continue to research and see what I can dig up.
