OK shark bait isn't the name of my JK it's the nickname my friends have given me. Yes I got bit by a shark, no I was not surfing.
This isn't an exciting build and it's going in stages and will take time since I don't have the money to buy what I want.
My original idea when I got the Jeep was I wanted a killer 2dr on 40s, RK 3.5 stretch kit, RJ44 and RJ60 with ARBs. And then reality set in. With my current job I'll never be able to get that build done. Plus I live in Florida, where will I ever need 40s. I can do everything in the state on 35s. I have talked to other JK owners around me who have 37s. They told me I can do everything here on 35s and can do Moab and Rubicon on 35s if I get the chance to make it out (2 of them had personally done it).
My build plan isn't done yet I'm still trying to decide on some things but this is what I have done right now:
1.75" BB
305/70/16 Iroks
1.5" wheel spacers
RR snorkel
Aftermarket front bumper w/9.5k superwinch
Magnaflow catback with turn down before the axle
Awaiting install (time off work)
Aussie locker for D30
RR hood louvers
Run Cool (hoodlovers.com) hood louvers
Now for the future install plan.
Detroit lockers front and rear
4.56s.... But I think I might go 4.88
35 Iroks (or other my, but the Iroks are treating me well)
And some beadlocks.
I already have the Detroit for the D30. And is any time in the future I plan to go larger I'm getting a G2 D44 front.
