A guide on how to build up a Stock X.... or not depending on your opinion
So....
as the title says....
Im gunna go through the build up of my once stock 08 Jk 2dr 6 speed.
It was bought and picked up on September 12th 2008.
It had... 0 options and by zero I mean zero.
It has th2 sunrider soft-top but that is stock here i believe... i dunno and it came with sahara side steps....
To this date i have 47,049 kilometres on it.
you can do the mile conversion.
I think im gunna give you guys prices(as much as I can remember)
So first off the day I picked her up!. ugh cant find the pictures of her right now...
here she is stock first time offroading!
cleaned up!
Christmas Presents.
.Tires.
A set of Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ's 33x10.5R16
On some Procomp 8169(?) 16x8 imitation cragar soft eight steelies.
Stickers!

Looks good! I like the wheels and tires! So you are running with 3.21 Gears ??? I keep deliberating whether to keep my 3.21's and my lifetime warranty to swap them out with a set of factory 4.10's I picked up ....

so here are the goodies to be installed
hopefully this will show all the stock x guys out there that out jeeps can be built up to be just as good if not better and way more unique then the rubis... maybe at a price but at least this way you learn all about your vehicle and it can grow with you as you learn all about it and offroading and what it is and isnt capable of!
PS THANKYOU DAVID AT NORTHRIDGE FOR ALL THE PARTS
so these are kinda in order of how i opened 'em!
5.13 gears for my front D30
gears for my D44 were wrapped in plastic... how come these ones arent?
lube lockers
bearing kit...
Air locker... this is for the front d30... it came with one switch the d44 one came with two, maybe cause you can have a d44 in the front but not likely to have a d30 in the rear... anyway...
bunch of random stuff inside haha
manuals and stickers
THE LOCKER
more stuff
onto the compressor
airup kit
big orange hose i guess i forgot to take a picture of with some nosels
EVO C Gussets and Control arm skids... hey evo everyone else put stickers in their boxes... where are yours?
just kiding... kinda
ohhh and thank you soooo much for not using that packing foam that sticks everything! seriously that sh!t gets everywhere...
adn turns out i couldnt pack it back up as well as you did...
Rock Slide Engineering Outer Sleeves
thats it... hahaha ummm any questions ask.. its getting installed the weekend of the 14th i hope... maybe the weekend after we will see what i can swing... untill then ill post some wheeling pics when im less lazy...
