Mine is a 18 fully loaded sport s 6 speed. Missing only tow package which I didn't want. Keeping it stockish look with some performance upgrades. Nothing fancy. It's been amazing so far. First jeep and I'm more than happy with it.

Teraflex ST1 kit with Falcon shocks + Rubicon takeoff springs = 2.5 inch overall lift
Nitto ridge grabbler 285/75r17
Rockhard 4x4 rocksliders
LED headlights and fog lights
Some misc stuff.

Future plans are some undercarriage armor and LCA.

And i do have a set of Rubicon rockrails in good condition for sale. Hit me up if you are interested. Northern Indiana.

Your jeep looks great! :like:

How are you liking the Ridge Grapplers? I'm considering the same size as yours, but a little concerned about their weight. Also, did you have any issues with your slider install? I'm condidering the Rockhard sliders as well.

I really like your jeep. Love the conservative look with the functional upgrades. Well done :clap:

Ridge grabblers are great. Good traction on the rocks. Quiet on the highway. The rocksliders are solid. No issues with them but the front body mount bolts are pain to remove.

Nice build! I took a similar path. You can always remove the pieces on the bumper between the bumper and fender too if you need a little more clearance with the tires.

Nice...I have the same sliders, love them, yes that front bolt scared me lol.
I have 285s I just put on too, contemplating lift. might just do Rubi Springs and fox shocks with LCAs from MOPAR 2" kit for a cheap 1.5"
But that isn't for awhile, wife is still upset about the wheels and tires

Yes, that would be an affordable lift option. I will need to do the Mopar LCAs swap soon. It drives okay but $60 to bring the caster back isn't a bad idea.

I have a Sport and I'm planning to take those pieces off just because they look lame-like they belong on a car not on a Jeep. They probably help direct airflow around the wheel well so highway MPG might suffer a bit--we'll see.

How is the gearing working out with that tire size and the 6-speed? Do you have the 3.45 axles?
