I ordered my 19' Ram Longhorn exactly the way I wanted it, only thing I did was add 35" KO2's and ceramic tint on delivery day. Fast forward 34,000 miles and that is all I have done, no desire for other mods. Love this truck!
So, I ordered my 20' Rubi 2-door exactly the way I wanted and thought there would be just a few mods...Like bumpers, winch and audio upgrade. (I did not order the Alpine upgrade due to the location of the factory sub on 2-door JL's) Boy was I wrong...Before I knew what happened I was bitten by the mod bug. At just 3,000 miles I have already spent well north of $12,000 and that is all just parts, I have installed every part, nut and bolt myself. Thought I was nearing the end...But now looking to replace/increase the performance lost due to larger tires, added weight of steel front and rear bumpers, winch, heavy skid plates, etc.
I had thought of supercharging but my experience with aftermarket superchargers (including friends who have had it done) has been spotty at best. I have also noticed on past aftermarket supercharger kits that after install the A/C never seems to work quite as well-living in Arizona, this is not something I am not willing to compromise on.
I have added the Mopar CAI and waiting on Borla to release their 2-door Touring Climber before I install the Livernois 3.6 tune. As I wait for impatiently, I have found myself now thinking about maybe going to 4.56's or 4.88's...There will be a cure for the ChinaFlu long before there is a cure for this madness!
Anyone else purchase a Wrangler JL not expecting to do many mods/upgrades and then find themselves bitten by the mod bug?
