At Webber Off-road & Diesel Performance, we don’t just build trucks and Jeeps—we build purpose-driven machines. This week kicks off our deep dive into one of our most exciting projects yet: converting a classic Jeep TJ into a trail-dominating LJ using a GenRight Conversion kit. If you’ve ever wondered why someone would stretch a Jeep, this post is for you.
TJ vs LJ: What’s the Difference?
-
TJ: Short wheelbase, nimble on tight trails, but limited in cargo space and stability.
-
LJ (Unlimited): Adds 10 inches of wheelbase—more room, better ride, and improved off-road capability.
-
Why It Matters: That extra length makes a huge difference when climbing, descending, or hauling gear.
Why We Chose the GenRight Conversion Kit
-
Precision fit and finish
-
Maintains factory geometry while adding strength
-
Built for serious off-roaders who want more than bolt-ons
The Vision
This Jeep isn’t just for show—it’s built to conquer trails, carry gear, and turn heads. The owner wanted a rig that could handle anything the Southeastern USA terrain throws at it, and we were all in. This build is about pushing limits—on the trail and in the shop.
What’s Next
Next week, we get into the gritty stuff: cutting, welding, and laying the foundation for the stretch. Sparks will fly.
