Ok, decision has been made. Gonna keep the JT.

Here is the plan:

Find a place in SE Minnesota to change the gears and start running 35s.
Gonna skip on the lockers (haven't gotten stuck yet in the back woods of MN).
Add some lights and new front bumper with winch.
Just empty every pocket over the next five years and give it to my son when he turns 16.

That gives me five years to figure out what I will get next.

Thank you everyone for the advice and comments to my question. I do appreciate it.

Buy a diesel Rubicon, change out the hood and cowls to the taller Mojave/392 hood and add shocks? If you're just going to build it then the Mojave is of questionable value anyways since your changing the springs and shocks most likely.

Why put on a taller hood that makes it harder to see things on the trail?

Because he wants Mojave? I agree, I actually love my JK hood being so damn low

But that's just the look of a Mojave, it's like putting a "4x4" badge on a Civic or installing a fake winch fairlead that sticks on with tape.

Well he wants a diesel Mojave, so it's always gonna just be the look, still looks better than 90% of those ugly aftermarket power bump hoods

If you haven't gotten stuck yet, why do you need the winch?

It would help in the winter up here to help people out of ditches. Tow straps can be a pain. It would be another option. The ice and snow on Route 14 can be insane.

Yes and nice 20 foot eye to eye pull strap is always good to have . Harbor freight sells some nice ones and I aint kidding they do .

Use kinetic, unless performing a static pull.
If you are using a winch on ice, you'll want to have scotch blocks to keep from being pulled towards the stuck vehicle.

I got one. I store it under the back seat bench. I have used it a bunch in the winter.

Stuck is when I need to call someone to help me out.

I’ve never been stuck because I have a winch and lockers.

Very true and sage advice. It would be awful to try to pull them out and instead of them moving you move to them. Yuck.
