Just posting to say hey, been a while for me to get around to coming over to this forum. But it's good to get another place with a lot of Jeep lovers! Been active duty Air Force for 18 years now, stationed down at Langley AFB in the southeast of Virginia...hours from wheeling, but I make the trek several times a year.
Have a 2010 JKU, originally purchased with the Mountain trim...but there's not a lot of that left. (I mean, the stitched seats are still under the seat covers, but that's about it...and the grill)
Modifications to the Jeep...
- AEV 3.5" lift, wish I knew more at the time, but it's performed well enough, it'll get replace someday.
- Goodyear MT/R Ks (35s) on AEV Savegres. Will move to beadlocks...at some point...but I think I'll always run these tires in some size or another.
- Front steering components replaced with Synergy after some excitement with the dreaded DW, solid since then.
- Full River Raider skids, still makes me wince when I land on something, but at least I know it's protected underneath.
- LoD sliders...far from pristine now, but that's why they're there!
- ACE Engineering Pro Series front/rear bumpers with Rigid light bars in both
- ACE Engineering tubular fenders
- RECON LED lighting for most markers (would never buy from them again, but I have a good working set now)
- TruckLite LED headlights...love these so much. But then, any LED headlight is so much better than stock
- AEV Heat Reduction Hood and Snorkel, possibly the best Father's Day gift I've ever gotten
- Regeared to 5.13s, still on stock axles (for now)
And a bunch of other things I really don't feel like listing in their entirety. Will get some pics once I dig through them.
Good to be here!
