PHASE ONE COMPLETE, and couldn't be happier with my choices! That is largely due to the hours spent on this forum, so thank you all!!
This is my 3rd Wrangler and 5th Jeep:
1992 YK Islander
1998 TJ Sport
2003 ZJ Laredo
2017 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk Hemi (Still own)
2021 JLUR Bright White (this build)
My 1st YK was White/Black hardtop like my JLUR. But I never had the means to built it 'right' -- until now.
So we ordered in September 2021 and took delivery October 14, 2020. A photo from the big day:
I spent the next ~6mos researching everything from ~1k YouTube videos to countless JLWF threads. I will be doing some rock crawling, live in Utah so Moab/Sand Hollow/etc are in play. With that, I decided on this as my phase 1:
PHASE 1 BUILD:
@Metalcloak game changer 3.5" lift
@Iconoffroad rebound 17x8 wheels black from @Discount Tire
BFG KM3 37/12.50R17 tires from @Discount Tire
Taser JL Lite programmer
@Smittybilt HD Pivot tire carrier
Suntop Top and Cargo top
Rydonair shorty factory radio antenna replacement
Firestik 3' CB antenna red and SWR meter
Cobra 75 WXST CB
Harken Jeep hardtop hoist system
Xprite Jeep door hangers
WORKING ON FRONT:
FRONT DONE, NOW THE BACK:
LIFT DONE:
LAST GLIMPSE BEFORE GETTING THE 37'S:
PHASE 1 COMPLETED:
1ST FLEX TEST:
This is an awesome community. Thank you for all the guidance. And thank you to the few that I reached out to before pulling the trigger.
The jeep rides better than Stock and no rattles -- and I was happy when I cleared by garage by less than 2". I wouldn't change anything I have done so far, with what I now know.
Now to draw up Phase 2....
Thinking some armor, getting rid of plastic bumpers. Won't be long before steering & front driveshaft too. Any other ideas/Suggestions???
Comments welcome. Ready.... Go!!
