Default First set of mods is done

After planning since Nov 2011, I have finished the first set of mods. I am trying to have an eye for budget so thats why the conservative tires etc...this is still a DD that my wife uses all the time with the kids, so each choice is made with that in mind - to allow us to offroad here in North GA and to have a good DD. So now the Teraflex 2.5 coil lift is on with Nitto 33s, ACE sliders, and JCR dagger mid. Spidertrax 1.5 inch spacers are also evident when viewing from the rear to make my stock wheels set out right, no more rub at full turn. I was going to do a TF BB, but I got talked into the coil lift. Am very happy with that.

Winch is probably the next obvious thing along with some safety gear and I'm set.

Nice looking JK. Your mod list and mine is very similar. I have a 2011 mango 2dr which is my DD to and from work everyday (about 50 miles). With that in mind, I'm in the same boat..going conservative while making it a little more capable on the trail when we do have a chance to take it out. I just got my JCR stubby installed, winch, have ACE rails, oil pan and evap skid, etc. I'm going even more conservative on the tires though. Still sporting the little 225s for now, hoping to get some 265 75 16s soon or maybe some 17s as I have a like new set of stock alloys like yours. Don't know what brand or style of tire yet. Swapped my front springs (14s) for 17s..kindof a budget leveling kit. After bumper and winch it sits perfect with no rake.

Anyways, not trying to hijack the thread, just nice to see a cleanly done JK that doesn't break the budget.

Oh yeah, like you I have the NR bolt kit, not crossed off the list yet..still waiting on my workbench to be installed.

From a BB man, Looks sharp!

Coils should be better, I just like the Rubi stock ride.
