2015 Jeep Wrangler Sport or as we know it as Lil Red Wagon

[JimmyN]

It is approaching a year old next month and this vehicle has changed our life. We have put over 17k miles on this thing from all the trips we take.
As far as the build I've kept it modest for the most part so far. I am pictured in the dictionary as mechanically declined. But I took to youtube and brushed up on my lost art of how many different uses of the f word and I was able to do the work myself. Except for the Kicker speakers an CB install because I rather pay someone than touch the interior. Now to the pictures. Enjoy.

So in February 2015 we picked up this from the dealership. It was as basic of a Sport as you can get except for hardtop and Bluetooth. I didn't feel like paying the dealer's high prices so I opted to buy the stuff and install it myself. Since I sold my truck to buy the Jeep I needed a hitch so I could haul my trailer for the dirtbikes for the family. I also did not like not having door seal guards so I picked up a pair. By the end of the first week I installed the hitch, wiring kit, door guards, Kicker dash and roll bar speakers, and tinted the windows.



In the meantime I put in a big order and the brown santa delivered my Teraflex 2.5 coilspring lift, Rugged Ridge rims, Mickey Thompson all-terrain tires, Rugged Ridge sliders, Bushwacker flat fenders, and stubby front bumper caps.

I started measuring the progress. Stock height to the fenders was 34"


Then I added the Bushwacker fenders which raised the mark to 38"


I then installed the Rugged Ridge 17x8 wrapped with Mickey Thompson ATP3

Next I finally got my Teraflex 2.5" lift in from being on back order. I cant find the fender measurement but here is pictures during the install of everything.

Gearshade. My wife found them on Facebook. I don't know how much because it was a birthday present.

Been awhile since I've been on here. With work I haven't had time to do much. I have been able to add a few things since then as the pictures will show. Hopefully coming soon a new Dana 44 front axle, JCR fenders and boat sliders, Rock Krawler 2.5 X factor suspension, and 37's.
