I decided to start a fresh "build" thread for Vengeance, so the sale thread or the Windrock thread didn't become onešŸ˜

For those who don't know the history, here is part I, the back story:

Let VENGEANCE be Yours - Bidding Starts Tuesday, December 11, 2012

Let VENGEANCE be Yours!! December 18, 2012 will mark exactly one year to the day when we bought Ken's 2-Door Jeep JK Wrangler from him and began its year long transformation, turning silver into gold and creating the beast known as, VENGEANCE!! The auction for this badass, stretched out 2-door...

Part II is the sale of Vengeance:

Vengeance is yours?

Ladies and gents, Due to a job change (a good one), I now find myself with two Jeeps in Nashville and a wife who wants one of them gone. I love Vengeance, and I have enjoyed it greatly, but it may be time to pass it to the next Jeeper. I am not super motivated to sell Vengeance, but if I find...

Part II.a is my trip to get Vengeance, and wheel at Windrock before driving home to SoCal:

Windrock with Vengeance late March

For those interested, this is looking like a thing. I am good for a Saturday only, as I have to head towards California. Still working on which Saturday, but the leading candidates are the 20th and the 27th. Possibly April 3rd, but with that Easter weekend, it may not be the best time to...

Now Part III can begin, tracking my adventures and further build of this truly amazing Jeep known as Vengeance.

The first mod happened on the way home, as I was tired of the hood bouncing due to the play in the hood pins.

When I stopped at my friend's in New Mexico, I found some rubber bushings that fit perfectly to tighten it up.

We also did a 5 tire rotation before I left to finish the ride home.

Now home, Vengeance gets a bath, and removal of the top and doors, to be replaced with half doors "borrowed" from my other Jeep, and the installation of the Spiderweb shade.

Thanks for putting the back story at the top of the thread. I don't think I ever got a chance to get through it before.

Looking forward to wheeling with you soon.

Thanks guys!

With the history of this Jeep, I wanted to be sure to share it, and keep the respect of the build and the reason behind it alive and well.

Soon after I joined Wayalife, I seen the link in Torrin's signature, so I followed it and read the story.
I had no idea at the time that I would have the chance to even see it, much less own it.
 
Excited to follow along on this, no disrespect or knock on Torrin but cool to see this Jeep with such an active member so we can all see updates!

Thanks for posting a link to the build specs. I've been really curious about the setup, looks like a great setup!

It was a lot easier than trying to recreate it. It is a great build. Very solid.

Thanks!

Took it for a cruise topless this evening, enjoying the SoCal weather.
This happened just before I got home:

I hope that's a lucky number. And my other Jeep is just a few hundred miles behind this one.

Great thread. Love to see the top off. Every time this Jeep has been popping up lately, Iā€™ve been flipping back through the SEMA thread that showcases it when it was originally built. Such a cool Jeep. Congrats
