CUSTOM AWESOMENESS

This ’12 Jeep Wrangler was Todd Nonn’s first brand-new vehicle. But its future was planned long before then.

CUSTOM AWESOMENESS

Custom awesomeness.” That’s how Todd Nonn described his ’12 Jeep Wrangler to us before participating in our 2019 Four Wheeler Overland Adventure East with his girlfriend Beatrix Hartmann. Once we saw the Jeep in action off-road and camping, we could see that was indeed accurate description-ness.

Todd was not new to Jeeps when he plunked down money for this Wrangler when it was brand-new. “I have been interested in modified Jeeps and trucks since I was young. One of my best friends in high school got me started in the Jeep lifestyle. He had a ’95 YJ Sahara.” Todd was also not new to owning Jeeps before this Wrangler, as a ’97 TJ Sport became his ride at 17. “I took it on many memorable camping trips, spring break to Daytona Beach, and other fun off-roading adventures.”

JEEP OR BLAZER BUILDING

JEEP OR BLAZER BUILDING

I was hoping to pick your brain as to a couple of different builds. I have a '19 Jeep Wrangler JL and a '74 Chevy Blazer. I'm a little baffled as to what to focus on. The '74 full convertible Blazer is my dream vehicle. She's been a long build and now I am thinking of focusing my energy on my wife's '19 Jeep JL. I recently joined a Jeep club and have been going off-road with a few guys. I'm shopping around for lift kits. Would you suggest that my time be spent and focused on the Blazer or enjoy the Jeep? I really can't do both.
