First time poster here, figured might as well start with a build thread! My wife and I ordered our Punk’n Orange 2018 JLUR in June of 2018 and took delivery in July of 2018. My wife and I decided on calling the Jeep “Jack” given its color. Originally I had wanted Mojito but by wife insisted on Punk’n and it really grew on me. Since we ordered ours we got to select all of our options, this is what we went with: 3.6L, 8-speed auto, tow package, LED lighting group, cold weather package, keyless entry, black hard top, 8.4 uConnect with Alpine sound, cloth seats, and factory aux switches.
Before we even had picked the Jeep up from the dealer we already had a 2.5” Rock Krawler X-Factor and Fox 2.0 shocks with 37x12.50R17 Cooper STT Pros mounted in 17” Method 105 beadlocks. Having already have owned my 2006 TJR for about 8 years at this point, I already had an idea (or so I thought) of the direction I wanted to take this build. The original goal was a clean build on 37s to handle camping and moderate rock crawling here in Colorado and Utah.
Here are some pics of when we picked it up.
Here was our new JLUR next to our 2006 TJR.
About 12 hours later, with about 50 miles on the odometer, we were already tearing off the stock suspension.
So after having the Jeep for about 24 hours, this was what it looked like after the 2.5” Rock Krawler X-Factor, 37s, beadlocks, and a JCR spare tire delete.
