Been on the forum for a few months now; Figured now is as good of time as any to start a build thread.
Since I'm going on the JKX in September this will help me track my progress thus far and into the future...and force me to take pictures since I am terrible at doing so.
Background: Bought an '06 LJ while I was stationed in Japan. Had it for about a year after I got home and then found out my wife was pregnant. Seemed like a good excuse to upgrade to a JKU.
Found a forum member who was looking to down-size and agreed on a trade. He was in Cali, I was in Missouri. We both met halfway in NM. 13hr drive one way; looked the rigs over, traded keys and titles and drove 13hrs back to Missouri.
This is what it looked like when I got it:
It already had lockers, lift and armor and most of the good stuff already done to it.
Since then I have added the following:
-PSC Hydro Assist System
-4.88 Gears
-37 Cooper STTs
-Gas Tank Skid
-AFE CAI
-Dynomax Rock Crawler Exhaust
-and a few other odds and ends.
As it sits now:
Don't have too many other pictures, as stated: I'm bad at remembering to take pictures.
Going forward, adding these before the JKX:
-Evo Rock Skins
-Rigid LEDs on the rear bumper
-RH4x4 Cage
-other odds and ends
Basically just going through the whole Jeep to make sure everything is looking good.
Thanks for looking!
