Jennifer K's Flame Red 1997 TJ

My love for Jeeps started when I was younger. When I was 16, I was a lifeguard at the Jersey shore and they had several YJ jeeps that were used on the beach that I often got to ride in. They were rough to ride in but I was hooked. I have always loved trucks and convertibles and the Jeep is the best of both worlds to me. Everyone riding in a Jeep with the top down always looked like they were having so much fun. I was also fascinated by the modifications done to them that made each one different, especially lift kits and larger tires. I bought my first Jeep new in 1998 as a college graduation gift and fell in love with it. I did some modifications to it such as bumpers and other cosmetic mods but did not know how to do more, despite the fact that I was raised by an automotive technician (he didn’t teach me because he didn’t want me getting hurt). I ended up selling that Jeep but missed it so much I bought another. With my second jeep, I always dreamed of taking it off road and lifting it but did not know where to start and ended up selling it before getting to do anything to it.
