My Jeep Build

[blackrubi14]

We don't really have a name other than Jeep or sometimes Rubi but here are a few pics.

2014 JKUR (3.73 gears)
At the dealer with just 9 miles on her.



A few weeks after taking delivery and letting the snow melt.


First mod was a new front bumper and winch.




That bumper didn't last but one trip and it was time for a change.




Next up was a BB, 33" Toyo's and Dick Cepek wheels.



Next was a new rear bumper. LoD Shorty W/tire carrier.


Before installing the Rigid LED's.


After install.


Next was a 3" TF lift, 35" Toyo's and 4.56 gears. I regret not taking pics while installing the lift.








Added a Spiderwebshade and Hi-Lift jack.




That is all the pics I have so far, I did install a CB and Lux Lighting rock lights as well but do not have any pics of those at work.
Next up is oil pan/transmission skid plate, modified fenders, 37's and possibly a PR44 front housing. I plan to regear as well but not right away. I should have went from 33's straight to 37's but I really want to upgrade the front axle before going to 37's.

Sorry MedixJK, I just saw this. The only pics I have on my phone are of the lights on at night, I will take some pics of the lights themselves this evening and post them either tonight or tomorrow morning.

Thanks all!

I love the LoD bumper, I get a lot of compliments on it. I will be changing the front bumper to either Lod or EVO. I'd like to have matching bumpers, as in brands but I really like the EVO bumper.

I installed EVO Rock Skins back in August. The first couple of holes were nerve racking, after a few beers, the rest were easy breezy :beer:

Lux lights look good! Have any issues installing them or were they straight forward?

Thanks!

Install was really easy, no issues. The only part that was remotely difficult was tying all the wires together due to their size, the wires are tiny. Other than that, straight forward and easy to install.

I finally got around to installing my ARB compressor last week. I used the M.O.R.E mount and ORO quick disconnect air chuck. I also added an OTRATTW switch for the compressor but forgot take a pic after install.

Welded on EVO gussets over the weekend.







Also got a 1350 JE Reel front shaft installed but forgot to take a pic of it in the jeep.



And EVO stuff starting to show up, got the transmission and oil pan skid on Saturday, the crossmember skid and rock sliders should be arriving this week.

 

[blackrubi14]

Had a guy at work wanting my 35's, so, what better time to go to 37's.



Installed EVO Protek Skid System.

The main reason for aftermarket skids to me was the transmission cooling line left out the open with no protection.



Oil and transmission skids.








New lower control arms are next, I wish I had just got new arms in the first place!

Time to cut the fenders.

Taping the cut lines.

And the rear.



And a front view.



Thanks to Eddie for the write up on cutting these fenders, made it much easier, thank you!

My EVO sliders should arrive mid week, hopefully I can get them installed next weekend.

That looks great! I will be trimming my fenders soon. Nice Rig!

Sick looking jeep:beer:! You did a great job on your fender flares, inspiring me to do the same once I get rid of my 33s. Where did you get that trim if you don't mind me asking?
