Alright so I'm alittle late to start here but im going to try and keep this as brief and to the point as possible as i have a lot to catch up on.

I ordered my JLUR back in january of 2018 and picked REAPER up some time in mid March these are a few pictures from when i picked it up next to my JK that i traded in

As every Jeeper the second i took position of the jeep i was thinking of ways to mod it and what i could do first, this ended up being the brawlee/ downright LED bar for the rear glass however with being lazy i ended up installing this months later after i installed my lift so ill start there

The lift i went with was the Rock Krawler xfactor, Max Travel kit so it came with 4 of the 8 adjustable control arms i chose to not get RK's shocks and ended up getting FOX shocks and i very glad i went this route here's a before during/ parts comparison and after shots.

AH making that last post reminded me a few weeks before i did the lift someone decided to side swipe me on the highway needless to say i was pissed but REAPER took it like a champ and destroyed their vehicle in the process we definitely got lucky but here are the pictures from that.

alright i finally have an opportunity to update this some more sorry its been a few days.

so after my lift i went and installed a CB radio the cobra 75wxst with the cool tech antenna mount that i used mopar touchup paint to color match to the jeep..... i left enough space bare for the antenna to get a good ground in line with this i also put in the downright LED light bar for the rear glass on the tailgate and it might be one of my favorite things I've put on the jeep!!!

Appologies for the first youtube video quality we had some technical difficulties haha the next mod was a K&N CAI and i this thing it sounds fantastic and give the jeep a mean growl most of the performance you won't normally see on every day driving being that its in the higher end of the RPM band but i still saw about a 1MPG increase which was nice!!!!:like:

Next i installed one of my two favorite mods so far and that would be my exhaust. this video is already floating around the forum but im giving it another post incase you all haven't seen it. the exhaust has a fantastic sound and i love it more every day. I went with the Borla Climber exhaust.

Its been awhile since ive posted in here and im still trying to play catchup on videos ive made and the next thing "mod" was the molar wiring harness it was a huge pain to install but the clean install about it was very nice.
