Default "Ironsides"

Well with the sale of my beloved 2012 Dozercon, I needed something to drive. I will going a completely different direction with this JK build than my previous 2 JK's. I am happy to say that Ironsides will be in the TeraFlex SEMA booth for 2014.

So here is what I am starting off with.

First upgrades is a complete set of Quadratec floor mats. I have used these in all 3 of my JK's so far and have always been happy with how well they take abuse. I would like to see someday a way to retain the middle section better from flapping around when driving around minus the doors and top.

I still can't believe you left the Yellow Brotherhood but subscribed just the same!

LOL, I had to make a change! 3 yellow JK's in row .

Time to crank up the first aid preparedness level. In the past I was lucky if I had some small band aids with me or had to rely on someone else. I know have a Adventure Medical "Mountain Medic" Kit underneath my backseat in Ironsides.

I hate the OEM rubber hood stops and the loop on the hood. I was able to find some low cost plastic plugs to fill in the holes from a local auto parts store.

Smart Doors from Star Fabricating were installed on all four doors. Now the doors have 3 stopping positions and feel like a real door. When you take your doors off, you just need to remove the center torx bolt also.

Time to add a #4804180 TeraFlex JK MP Tailgate Table so I can make root beer on my trailruns and have a place to cook my food.

Time for some ARB products for "Ironsides"! It will be nice to have some actual lockers in this Jeep. Now with the ARB Freezer I can have root beer floats on the trail runs!

Any cutting or drilling involved in the install?
