"If you believe that paved roads are simply access-ways to the open range, you and your JK need this book. It contains the vital information to convert any mild-mannered street vehicle into an all-conquering off-road rig. Whether it's lift kits, wheels, tires, drivetrain, or suspension and engine parts, this book provides detailed information, insightful guidance, and installation instructions, so you build an off-road JK to handle the toughest terrain."
