I got my '07 Sahara JKU in September of '11. Been adding a few things here and there to make it my own.

Lots of cool ideas from the jk-forum the first of which was a home-made grill insert. Made from rain gutters, of all things

Nice JK

The cool thing about a jeep is it starts with a blank canvas, and then imagination sets in! Thats when it truly becomes YOUR JEEP.:thumb:

Cool! And so true. I had a CJ-7 and for years I worked on it, restoring it, until I finally got it back to almost original condition. I loved that Jeep. I sold it to fund this purchase. No restoration needed. So I can focus on making it mine. Well, limited budget (pronounced "the wife") permitting. Lol.
 
hey nice ride.
are you happy with the rough country bar ?, been looking at and wondering. do you plan on lifting your jeep up high ?

What rear are you looking to get?[/QUOTE

Not sure. Thats on my "not too urgent" list.
First, I want to get a lift and bigger tires.
Once I get that done I'm thinking of getting the Teraflex Tailgate Carrier to mount the spare without having to upgrade to a full bumper/carrier combo, depending on the cost.

Actually, I'm very happy with it. I ordered it without the fog-lights, because they weren't even available yet, I got the end caps with the fog-light cut outs months later. Compliments throughout. Plus, the service from RC is top notch.
