Over the last several weeks I've been paying close attention to how different Jeep owner's modify their vehicles. Not just Liberty's, but also Wrangler's, Cherokee's, Grand Cherokee's, and Commanders.
I've come up with 6 categories I believe covers every general style class from stock to extreme, and would like to see how others approach (or view) their own Jeep and what they've done to it....
Stock...kind of self explanatory, those who like to leave it factory stock.
Moderate - Utilitarian...This would include a suspension modification from leveling kit (or clevis lift) to a full 3" lift, either stock or Soft 8 style rims, AT, or mud terrain tires. Can also include an after market steel front and / or rear bumper, winch, recovery points, skid plates, and roof rack. Moderate use of after market lighting.
Moderate - Stylish...This would include everything in the utilitarian category with the addition of flashy paint job, highly stylish after market rims, an assortment of chrome add-on's like lense guards, fuel filler cap, windshield wiper arms...etc...etc... Excessive use of after market lighting.
Fully Modified - Utilitarian....This would include everything in the "Moderate - Utilitarian" class, but would include suspension lifts over 4", and may also include body lifts on solid frame Jeeps, plus appropriate size tires in all categories of tread. This category also includes SFA conversions on IFA vehicles, Snorkles, high lift jacks mounted externally, spare gas cans mounted externally.
Fully Modified - Stylish....This would include everything in the "Fully Modified - Utilitarian" class with the addition of flashy paint job, stylish after market rims, and chrome add-on's.
Extreme...This would include a combination of suspension and body lifts putting the vehicle at dangerous heights, Monster truck size tires, stuffing the biggest V-8 possible under the hood, open exhaust, enough lights to play a game of night baseball under, show type vehicle.
Vote early and vote often.....
