everymans dilema
ok so im between a rock and a hard place here. i just cant seem to make up my mind. i want a serious crawler but at the same time i love being able to drive a jeep on a daily basis. when i first bought the jeep about 3 years ago i didnt fully understand what would take to get what i wanted out of it. my ultimate dream is to have a serious crawler that is still street legal. another thing is that i love knowing that everything that i have in the jeep i have done myself and the pride of building it from nothing cant be beat. so heres the delimia. sell the current jeep and use the money to get an already built rig or just keep pouring into what i have until its done.
heres the specs on my current rig.

I vote to keep building it.
I say keep going with what you have. sounds lik a sweet rig already. and if you buy a new rig already set up your miss out on all the. I best part of owning a jeep is you always wnat to upgrade and you always can make new project ands wish list. as for street legal. it all depends on what state you live. so research that before you make you decision. i am still new to wheeling but thats my opinion.
Jeeps are Built NOT Bought. Thats a motto to go by

I agree, keep building what you have.
Build what ya got. You'll never get back the $$ u have in yours or the satisfaction & you never really know what u r getting when u buy one "buildt".
Old enough to know better, too young to quit!
My 2cents is: a. keep building what you have and get another as a DD or b. make this one your DD and get another to start from scratch with, may be do somethings diferently, smarter or better. I am starting to think there is no such thing as to many jeeps just got my first one and am already looking for another for my daughter. It looks like I'm going to have to start looking for a garage for the vehicles with a house attached to it.
