So just got home, and the garage is packed with boxes!! I am starting, slowly but surely. Here are my first two mods.
Ace Pro Series Rear Bumper w/ Tire Carrier, complete with mounted 35x12.5 Toyo Open Country M/T on stock rubi wheels (soon to be redlined)
Attachment 536392
Bedlined grill
Attachment 536393
I'll keep updating as the mods continue!

So I finally went for it. After browsing the forum and any other source available for the past year, trying to figure our how to make it all happen, I installed my lift yesterday. I started at 10 am, and didn't finish until 2 am this morning, ridiculous amount of time, I know, but hey, I'm a rookie. The immense amount of info on jk-forum helped so much. You guys are frock in geniuses. Thank you to all who dedicate so much time to put their write ups and experiences up here for all the rest if us to learn from. I'm still not finished, u have bushwhacker flats, ace pro series front bumper, Engo winch, upol raptor to bedline the interior, and countless other things to do. But the lift and toyo 35x12.5 open country m/t's are on, with ace pro rear bumper and tire carrier, and it's looking BAD. I can't wait to do some crawling!
And even without fenders, it looks pretty mean.

So I've now gotten the exterior looking pretty much how I want, aside from the wheels. I have two sets of rubicon wheels, so I'm going to do one with spray in bedliner, and add how I like it. If I don't, I'll have the other set powder coated. I'll also be bed lining the while interior. And removing the hinges and powder coating them black. Then I just picked up blue torch fav diff covers. Powder coated black, they'll look great with the exterior welds showing, matching my ace bumpers nicely. I also picked up an ARB high output onboard compressor I'll be working in installing over the next few days. Thinking of picking up the AEV rear diff skid too. Everything should be ready for my first ride on the rubicon with the jamboree in late July! I'm loving my build. This thing is incredible!!
