Gunnar, 2021 JLUR Build - First Timer

[GunnarJeep44]

First wrangler I've ever owned so I embarked on a fun "stage 1" build this year. This forum has been great and super helpful so would love continued feedback and advice on next mods. Thanks all

• 17" Black Rhino Overland's wrapped in 35" Nitto Ridge Grapplers
• 1.5" Lift
• Magnaflow MF Series Stainless Dual Axle Back Exhaust (black)
• S&B Cold Air Intake (2.0 Turbo)
• Oracle Oculus Headlights
• Oracle Oculus Fogs
• Morimoto Smoked Gen2 Sequential Turn Signals & DRL's
• Oracle Smoked LED Tail Lights & 3rd Brake Light
• Oracle LED spare tire brake light
• Rough Country Contoured Drop Steps
• RedRock 13" stubby antenna
• Terraflex HD Adjustable Spare Tire Kit
• Front 2 windows ceramic tinted to 20%
• Ceramic Coating
• Mopar All weather mats / Weathertech cargo liner
• Mopar Door Sill Gaurds
• Alterum Red Aluminum knobs interior
• Grab Handles
• Hothead headliner (One touch) & rear side window panels
• Fire Missile Cigarette Lighter Plug

I'd say my build was focused on maintaining a daily driver with 10-20% time spent on trails but not quite wheeling yet, have a lot to learn first.

I think my next additions will be a steel bumper package (any recommendations?) and eventually upgraded shocks. I contemplated a bigger lift but I really like the way the 35"s sit on this.

Thanks to everyone for lots of ideas and questions answered.

Great looking 'Stage 1' build Matt!

I agree with you, it sits nicely on the 35's at your current lift height. Upgraded shocks of some kind would be nice next steps as well as the steel bumpers.

I have to warn you, once you start wheeling your Jeep the bug bites hard and you really get what these vehicles are really about...at least that's how it went for me. Keep the pics coming.
