So my wife has given me tentative approval to start looking for another wrangler for a trial rig. No details, budget, or time frame yet but I thought it was news to share.
Tentative Approval (Approved)

Yay!

The woman's a saint!

Get a spring under YJ on 35's and beat the piss out of it. Cheap, reliable, and FUN!!!

Thats no budget as in no budget was set yet. Not, I can spend all the fake money I have... . Were you talking about a specific on on pirate? -

the government spent fake money they didnt have, why cant you? oh wait, look where we are now... -
I'm not sure what direction I want to go or even can go but I was thinking ether doing what Billy already said; buying a lifted YJ and running with it, Start buying all the cool parts like D60's, ORI's, etc, etc then buy a rig and build it, or just find and buy an already built rig. This is getting into a whole new level for me that I dont know much about so feel free to chime in with opinions and keep your eyes open for capable rigs for sale.
I dont have a tow vehicle or trialor so I would ether need to keep it street legal like Billy's or become good buddies with a couple of you that have big enough trialors for 2...Sal...Aaron... Ideally I would like to keep something street legal but still tow. I have a grand cherokee so I might be able to flat tow. -
Were you talking about a specific on on pirate?I think he meant to post these.

Oh $124,500... is that all? At that price I should buy two trail rigs so my wife can have her own. -
I'm thinking more along the lines of a YJ or TJ and slowly building it. Unless the right deal comes along for something of course or I win the lottery.

I think it might be difficult for you to build a "trail only" rig and still want to drive it to wheeling locations. I think the best option is to buy a package of somebody getting out of the game. Quite often on pirate you can find people selling a buggy and a trailer combo.
Also, it is going to get really old really fast trying to keep your trail rig street legal. You are going to crush fenders, break lights, etc....

Just a little something to test out? -

Good point.
I need to come up with a realistic budget before doing anything. This is going to be months or longer in the making before I move on something. It's alll talk and glazed eye excitment right now but I'm pretty impulsive too, so who knows... -

Matt - I got a buddy at work who's either selling or will be in the near future a TJ rubicon. Not molested or anything but would be a good starting platform. I'll holler at him today to see where he's at w/ it. Only reason he's selling is to buy a JKU. -
With a cage and a little bit of love, this would be one hell of a dual purpose rig.

Let me know what he's thinking and the price. Like I said in the above posts, I'm not sure how fast this will happen and not sure where I want to start but I'll run it through the brain if it all looks right. -
Maybe use the budget to buy a nice tow rig and trailer, then make your JK the trail rig.

I'd like to keep a street Jeep.
