Billet Silver JLUR in Colorado

Hey All! I've been building and wheeling for many years. Like most i was on the fence with the new JL but took the plunge.

I purchased in January 2018, took delivery Feb 14, 2018 and already knew the path i was taking. However that early, nothing had been released in the after market industry. So the 1st thing i did was put a set of 35s i already had on it with new wheels, no lift yet.

My dealership hooked me up with a front tint job and i added the windshield strip and a clear bra up front.

I was under the Moab EJS crunch! I wanted to add self recovery, a led for night runs. I opted for JCR winch plate, Artec dual pods brackets.

I have many years with recovery experience and for the most part use my winch on others in need , however i do use it on myself mostly in the snow, so i chose the Warn VR10S, and threw a Factor 55 Ultra Hook on it. I also went with my good friends www.cascadia4x4.com led fairlead and flipster.

I am a fan of "real" lift kits , coilovers, lift springs, etc. However the lift i want will not be available until July so i chose the EVO overland 2.5" boost kit, my friend had the Mopar kit with FOX shocks and had already swapped it out so i also have the Mopar spec FOX shocks on it.

The EVO overland 2.5" kit adds much needed ground clearance and allows for 37" tires.

The 35s were quickly replaced with 37s. I am old fashioned and did not believe it was a good idea until i regeared the 410s to 513s. I have to say the 8 speed is remarkable and no regear was necessary.

It did so well in Moab i was impressed. However It sits to low at 2.5" for my style of wheeling. I was on the under armor, rear bumper etc more than i wanted to be. This 2.5" lift will soon be replaced with a longarm coilover lift soon. But it did get the job done. Kind of....

Recently I added Artec front inner liners. I wasn't rubbing the stock liners, this was purely for a different look. I like it.

I also learned how much i needed the Mopar slush mats, another great design with the drain plug integrated into them.

I found a zero option sport and had to check out the difference , its very different.

Great looking Jeep! What lift from Evo do you plan on going with when it’s available?

Looks really great. Your build is a good template for what I want to do. I would ask how much $ but I probably don’t want to know.
