Let's face it, living is expensive. Especially when you're a young professional, in the heart of one of the most expensive cities in the US (Denver, CO). Welcome to my ride share funded build thread! But first, let's get you up to speed I made my move back to CO (lived in TN for 12 years) in January 2017 to start a new job, and couldn't have been more excited.
Before I left, I picked up this gorgeous 2016 Rhino JKU
On January 15, I left for Denver! This was about 900 miles into the journey, after my first night spent in Hays, KS. You can't tell, but the Jeep is completely loaded down - you can really fit a lot of things into such a squared vehicle
Crossing the Colorado State line! What a great day

After moving to Denver, it was apparent to me that I needed something part time to make my build happen, which lead to me to Lyft/Uber. My full time covers all of my living expenses + life savings and my weekends are for saving for the build. The purpose of this thread is to show Jeepers that anyone can make their build possible, even if they feel like they don't have the funds to go where they want. 20 hours a week of driving is all I need to make this happen - I'm more than down for the sacrifice!
So far, I've completed over 275 rides and funded about half of my build! Very exciting stuff.

Build Goals
I'm going 35's on this build. If I had the money for axles, I'd be on 37's. For now, 35's should be a perfect balance for daily driver and give me enough capibility on the trails here in Colorado to go have fun, as long as I pick the easy lines Down the road, I can move up to bigger and better things!
