Took delivery of my 2022 this past week. Ordered it on November 9th, 2021. 6 months and 10 days is what it took to finally get it. Over that time I have stockpiled a huge list of upgrades. This thread will document the build over the next few weeks and beyond. Any input suggestions or help is always welcome.

Today I put together my Beadlocks..

Nitto Trail Grapplers. 37x12.50x17's. Wrapped around Fuel Beadlock 17x9. D113's

They were all red, but I had my beadlock rings powder coated black. Think they turned out amazing. Putting the new lift on next week.

The last few days I tackled the Teraflex Alpha HD Reinforced Tailgate hinge and Carrier... What seemed to be an easy thing turned out a little tough. Couldn't quite get the tailgate all properly lined up and closed right at first. Left it for a day then came back and was able to figure it out. Took off my Xtreme Recon Tire Carrier to put this one on. Pretty happy with it.

The hardest part to me was getting the door aligned just right with the weight of the new tire and wheel. Just followed the Teraflex video for the most part and it worked out. This Heavy duty tailgate reinforcement is pretty Stout!!!! Built very well! Totally impressed! hoping it performs as well as it looks out on the trail.

Starting the Rock Krawler 3.5" Lift tomorrow!

@TeraFlex Awesome Product!

Today I started the Suspension Lift. Putting on a Rock Krawler 3.5" XFactor No Limits Kit. The size difference between these and stock is incredible! The weight is as well. I can not imagine bending these or damaging them in any way. It's been a while since I have done a lift, So today I didnt get as much as I planned done, but did make some good head way. Oh and 3 trips to the parts store didn't help. When you think you have all the tools you need and then realize you don't. Oh well, I needed some new impact sockets anyway!. I ended up talking to Bob at Rock Krawler a few times today with some question I had. Cool guy and was more than willing to answer my questions and get me on the right track.

Got all the control arms installed today along with the bump stop kit that Rock Krawler sales as well. Tomorrow I will be putting on the Trackbar along with Upgrades from SteerSmart. New Aluminum Tie Rod and Draglink! Shocks I decided to go with the Falcon Adjustable SP2 3.3 fast adjustable shocks.

I have mainly been following the PDF instructions from Rock Krawler and a great video that BleepinJeep did on a 2.5" lift. But many of what he does transfer over to the 3.5". Not going as fast as a OffRoad shop would do, but at least I know how all this goes together and I will know how to fix stuff if it breaks etc etc. I will be taking it for an alignment though for sure.

@Rock Crawler. @TeraFlex.

Good Times!! My dad is even enjoying the project as well! I think he is ready for my jeep to be complete so he can hit the trails with me as well.

Day 2-3 of the Build. Lots of Progress.. Continued working on the front end. Got all the new steering upgrades installed. Steersmarts Sector Shaft Brace, New Aluminum HD Tie Rod and Draglinks and their stabilizer. Huge shout out to Andy at Steersmarts for helping me through the installation and the questions that I had. Same with Bob over at @Rock Crawler. Both these guys were a big help via email and chat. Lots more to come... Bumpers, Lights, Skids, Rocksliders!! So much more. Having a blast with my build so far and can not wait to get it on the trails!!!

Finally to a stage that you can be proud of! Back on the ground with the lift and all new steering components! First test drive was flawless!! Everything ran great, no clearance issues so far, Not a single vibration or anything on the jeep! Hooked up the new Tazer JL to calibrate for the new tire size. It was spot on with Speed measured against GPS. All the products that I have chosen so far have been great. Awesome quality and amazing tech support when I had question!! Thanks to @Roky as well! Def help me out on a few questions!

@TeraFlex , @Steersmarts , @Rock Krawler Suspension , These guys have been a huge help.
