Just thought I'd throw up some photos of what I've been doing to my JK. First, this was literally taken by my sister while I was at the dealership buying it. Stock: So, after owning it for a grand total of 8 days, I decided to come out to the Work Weekend at Oak Ridge and play with it :-) I was pretty impressed. I only got stuck once when I forgot to turn on my lockers and bottomed my skid out in a mud hole on the Chapel trail. I apologize for the blur, but this is my co-pilot, Frankie, and I This was my first mod, a Dynomax Cat-back exhaust system. Installed images coming soon. This was purely an aesthetics mod. New Drake Off-road billet Shift Knobs They look and feel awesome! I've done a few other things that I will post some photos of later. They are: LED Dome lights, Rampage Grab Handles, Smittybilt Cargo Net (to keep the dog in when I have the top off), and a Daystar Dash Storage Panel. I have bought a CB and all the required hardware. I've installed the CB but not the antenna and everything else yet. I've also ordered a new front bumper with a winch, they are both supposed to be on the truck for delivery today I've also bought a set of Rigid Dually LED Flood Lights. I had bought a set of 3" Stainless Step Bars, but then I realized that the Rubicon comes standard with Rock Rails. Anyone want to buy them? I'll post more pics as I go along.

Lookin good. Before you use that winch, you need to unwind it and rewrap it under load. Otherwise when you put that first load on it you will kink the wire.

Haven't updated anything in a while so here goes. I've added: Harley Davidson mirrors for when the doors are off. Also, Rigid Industries LED Flood Lights on the corners of the bumper. These things are RIDICULOUS! a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/410924_10101877820923735_234479231_o.jpg[/img] A stubby "off-road" antenna Rugged Ridge Taillight Guards (OK, they don't really 'guard' since the screw through the plastic, but I like the way they look ) A Bikini Top and Smittybilt Cargo Restraint (AKA dog net) I have also ordered a Rock Krawler 2.5" Flex system with Bilstein 5100s ;D Supposed to be in next week.

Finally got my Lift Kit!!!! Woo HOOO!!!!!! 2.5" Rock Krawler Flex System. Big thanks to Joe Bonney for getting it in for me and getting me a good price. Top is the new Rock Krawler Lower Control Arm. The bottom is the stock one. Top is the new 2.5" Lift Front Coil Spring. Bottom is stock one. Front setup. 2.5" taller Coil, Bilstein 5100 Shock, Stainless Steel brake line. (Wasn't sure on the brake line routing. What do you guys think?) Rear Setup. 2.5" taller Coil, Bilstein 5100, Rear Trackbar bracket. Definitely makes a difference. I'm looking forward to Starr on the 30th ;D I'll snap some pics of the new front trackbar and the installed lower control arms tomorrow.
