    I thoroughly researched my setup for months before deciding on it. Even though my rig is a daily driver, I camp, fish, and explore A LOT (the last 6 straight weekends) with it. A lotta overgrown backwoods trails that require some blazing and are very primative. So I guess mine was primarily for my weekend wheelin in the mountains.

    As for the "modded/lifted vehicles don't sell" argument, I think it's a niche market. My wife has always wanted a Heep (Jeep) and with the kids getting older we're starting to look. Found this beast that I'm seriously considering. Only thing is the wife can't drive stick. Wait, that's not an issue... For me! :eek: :wink: :laughing:

    Zacky. You are looking for that. Now what's KBB on that Jeep? You would buy it at KBB + part value of that lift kit and other aftermarket parts? Probably not.

    It's actually priced very good considering all the mods. I'd try to talk them down a bit, but would buy it if the boss signed off on it. :D

    KBB is $17,821. They're asking $23K. I figure it's got right around $4K or $5K in mods, give or take. The wife isn't biting on it because she can't drive a stick though. :(

    My last gen 1owned had a lift and I took it off road 1-2 times a month in the desert during the season. My 13 is stock and only sees dirt a few times during desert season, not going to lift it, getting in anything higher is a pain.

    Looking for some advice...

    I bought my used TRD Sport from someone who put a leveling kit on it, (clearly for looks). I, however, do a lot of Mtn. biking & fishing as well as like to just play around off road. I Feel like the spacer lift is terrible - will putting a 3" lift make a big difference?

    I'd love some advice - also, if it will make a difference, which lift is recommended?

    Thanks in advance!

    It all depends on how much and type of off roading you do also budget. 3" is 3" if just for looks. If you're a crawler then you need more than 3". Lots of good feedback from OME and Icon's. In the end you decide your need. :thumbsup:

    You don't get any more actual clearance from a 6" inch lift over a 3" do you?
