T-Jay Miller-Bilt: 1997 Jeep Wrangler
All Wrangler For Off RoadSometimes we're a bit self-serving here at Jp magazine. It seems that if we're not bilking old ladies out of their bingo money we're talking friends into buying Jeeps they didn't know they needed so we don't have to. Jay and Ricki Miller's '97 TJ is a good example. Jay, a long-time friend, was gently persuaded into purchasing the then-fresh Wrangler shortly after Cappa took the reigns as Editor of Jp magazine sometime back in '00. You see, magazine folk are generally dirt poor and bad with money. So when it was determined a good Wrangler was needed on which the magazine could test parts, nobody on staff could afford to buy one. Thankfully, Jay is wiser with a dollar than we and infinitely more skilled with a wrench. He bought the TJ and over the course of the next 10 years treated it to countless build iterations, many off-the-shelf and custom-fabricated components, and a whole lot of real-world off-road testing. The culmination of all that effort is the Creamsicle-colored off-road machine you see here. Is it finished? Not by a long-shot. But JKs are getting pretty popular and the last time we checked our bank account we couldn't afford one of those. Hey, Jay....
