Project Ali-Lander, Building an Unlimited JK for Adventure - Four Wheeler Network
Unlike a trail rig, an adventure rig has to be ready to wheel, drive long distances, and mall crawl at a moment’s notice. More so, it has to carry gear enough gear for week-long camping and wheeling expeditions. I’ve owned a few JKs over the years, and every one I’ve built, I have enjoyed.
