Clifford the Big Red JK - Build
SO.. I thought is was time to create a thread and stop using "What was done to your JK this week" as my build thread. Things are moving slowly forward but the little things over time are adding up. I personally like the look of the Stock JK. They are very capable rigs from the factory. But the Jeep engineers left it up to the owners to finish the build. We are going for a stock looking style but rock ready. Under the stock will be a rig capable of tacking some fun trails. Not the "need a buggy" trails but the "have a few mods and you can come" kind.
So here we go...
We bought a used 2008 Jeep JKUR last year to replace a failing mini van. This is my wife's daily driver and my weekend toy. (i drive a company car as my DD). It needs to look nice for her and do the fun stuff on the weekend with the family.
So the build at this point is to add a 3" lift, 35" tires, sliders, stubby bumper, remove the rear bumper and have some fun. Pretty basic.
The day we bought it
Some minor items - LIG tire cover, rear recovery point, grab handles, WOL Stickers
When we bought the Jeep it had 285/70 17 BFG AT tires and they still have some good life left in them so we added wheel spacers to keep the rubbing at full turn down and to tell you the truth it seems to handle better. Gives it a beefier look.

After
To keep the interior clean we added a Cobra 75 WX ST CB and a quick disconnect at the antenna so that when its trail time we are ready.
