Its been about 5 months now since I purchased my 2010 JKUR. Seems like a good time to start a build thread before I go any deeper and have way to much to post at once.:cheesy: I've always been into the trail scene but only by power sports, never full size vehicles. At one point I did have an '84 Ford Bronco II with a 4'' Lift on 33'' Swampers but I had bought it with everything installed. Unfortunately I was only able to wheel it a couples times before selling it. I've wanted a Jeep for many years now and the time finally came to trade in. Over the past months, I fell in love with the whole Jeep scene. I feel a real passion growing here and I cant wait for the adventures to come.:beer:
Now for the goodies.
These are from the evening I drove her home and a couple days after. It just so happened to come with a pre-installed 3'' BDS lift with 35'' BFG KM2's.
Immediately I noticed that I had to do something about the little 3.8L mini-van engine. So I installed a K&N CAI, Dynomax Rock Crawler exhaust and a Super Chips Flashpaq. With just these 3 items I find that the little engine is quite capable for what it is, even though we always want more.:blush:
Next it was time for some armor underneath. Being new to the jeep community and after some research, I took a stab at some skid splates. I ended up installing the ninth-degree AEV skid, Rancho oil pan skid, M.O.R.E. evap can skid and an ARB diff cover for the front. Unfortunately I cant seem to find my evap can skid picture :idontknow: but you can see some of it in the AEV skid pic.
Since the belly seemed armored enough for the time being, I decided I'd better protect the outside too. I then installed the L.O.D. signature series Rock rails and stubby front bumper with stinger.I was a little worried about how big the stinger would actually be but after installment I was quite pleased.
To fill up that gap in the bumper and to give me piece of mind on the trail, I picked up a WARN Zeon 10-s. Also while I was hooking something up to the battery, I grabbed some KC High-lites and these cool HD battery terminals.
About this time I Figured I should show some support to the forum that has been answering all my newbie questions and concerns.:blush: Thanks everyone! :beer:
