Finally getting around to starting my build thread after owning this Jeep for 6 months. This is my second JL, I had leased JL previously but we went down to a single car house hold for a bit wile I was working from home. About a year ago I started looking for another JL but knew I wanted one that I could build to the dream jeep I’ve wanted.
6 months ago I found a 2019 JL in Sting Gray with a manual transmission with just under 100k. The price was too good not check. I went and everything seemed to check out. The car fax showed all scheduled and regular maintenance. I was able to have the dealer throw in an extended warranty and I was out the door.
I started planning my build almost immediately. I had two goals with the build. The first was to keep the appearance close to a stock+ build as I do sometimes need to drive to work functions when my wife’s car is being used. The second and (more fun part) was I decided I wanted to find as many parts as possible used or at a heavy discount. While it does require patience I have found some awesome deals and have saved a ton. I decided to list the cost for these to show there are good deals out there as well as fair sellers who are not always looking to make back 90% on a used part.
The nick name is a play off my old black rhino lined lifted XJ I had in college. My friends called it the Blackhawk, and in keeping with the budget build the name just feels right.
Now to the build:
Year: 2019
Model: Sahara
Color: Sting Grey
Lift: Rock Krawler 2.5” Adventure Mid Arm (New)
Shocks: Falcon 1.1 (New)
Wheels: AEV Savgre v1 ($300 for all 5)
Tires: 35x12.5 Micky MTs (Included with wheels)
Headlights: Oracle Bi-LED - JL Forum Buy ($300)
Taillights: Oracle Flushmount ($80)
Foglights: Oracle 60w - Not installed ($25)
Bumper: Factory Steel - Not installed ($325)
Sliders: Rampage - Pulled from my last JL but still got open box on Amazon ($79)
Misc Ext: RC Tire Relocation Kit
Seat Covers: Bartact ($425)
Post to follow with some more and details.
