I know there is several very expensive builds done in the past, but this one is done so clean in my opinion! Why start with a sahara? Either way I love it! Also I'm gonna give my vote for best looking rig on here, my opinion only! The only thing I will say is I wish your rear plate was mounted lower so your 5th could be seen. Especially with the money spent on those puppies. The change in rear tire carrier is nice! On your very first post on this build it says in your build list ( ripp supercharger) ? Or maybe I read it wrong

Thanks! I went with the Sahara because it offered the color matched hard top and black leather interior. I'm not a fancy guy that needs leather, but I have small kids and I find that it holds up better and cleans easy.
There was no benefit to getting a rubicon since I wouldn't keep the axles, and the t-case ratio doesn't match my needs. Once I spend some time with this rig in the desert, I'll see if I will need an Atlas 4 spd.
There were plans for the Ripp supercharger, but after driving this stock w/ the 5:43 gears, I'm pretty happy and going to put some more time on it first. I also want to see what Magna Charger comes out with.

They are 15.5, but mounted on a 8.5" rim.
