started as a Sport S, options were hard top, and max tow package

Then was able to find some take off Hard Rock Rock Rails, Painted Flares, and some 285/70 Yokohama Geolanders

And had a friend of mine assemble some Morimoto Sealed7 HID Projectors

Scored a great deal on CL to swap my black hard top for a painted white one

Then picked up a satin black grill

Also went on an easy Jeep run with the guys from HB Jeep after my brother picked up his 2016 Black Bear

And my son had a good time

At this point I sold my Long Travel Bronco to focus on the Jeep and started acquiring parts...

Some Fox 2.0's

Mounted some Aurora LEDs in the stock fog light location using Rigid brackets

Found an almost new Premium Soft Top on CL

Got the wheel rings powdercoated

Ordered some more stuff

Found a good deal on some Currie Rock Jock 44s loaded with 5.13s, 35 spline axles, Detroit Front, ARB Rear, Teraflex 2.5" coils (for now), Synergy Front and Rear Bumpers, and sPod

Then my brother and I got to work over this past long weekend

Sloped driveways make axle swaps so much fun

And here she sits today...I have some Aries Aluminum flares that I'm currently painting, still need to install the ARB compressor, adjust the rear track bar as I'm getting a bit of a rub on the drivers side front of the rear wheel well...but its getting there

Any write up on the headlights?

Honestly, it was a pain in the ass... In order to get them to fit, I had to move one of the horns, loosen and move the power steering vent, loosen and push a wiring harness out of the way...truly not a simple remove/replace install... but the light output is totally worth it

Thanks, I've owned the Jeep a year this past weekend...so have been acquiring parts, then got busy this weekend.

Besides use it as intended...

the short list of to-do's include
  • Install Vacuum Pump Relocation Bracket
  • Install ARB compressor, and plumb rear locker
  • A-Pillar Cubes
  • Back-up/dust light cubes
  • rock lights
  • winch
  • eventually upgrade the stereo as I should have gotten the factory Alpine system

Some Updates...

Dealer replaced the TIPM, and all seems to be good for now

I've also installed a Warn M8000-S, as well as getting my fenders resprayed by Maaco...I wasn't happy with my DIY spray bomb, and Maaco did good for under $400 ...

temporarily removed my Sealed7 HID Headlights for an upgrade...be back on soon

To-Do's
Install and plumb ARB Compressor
Airline to rear axle for locker
Rock-lights
Radio gear - CB/VHF
PS - Bolt-in Cage
