you're right, you're right

very poor lack of judgement on my part. i was hoping you would see the humorous side as that is how i had intended it, but i guess sometimes there is no humor to be had......i apologize

for what is worth, i like your jeep. jeep green would have been my next choice if i couldn't have found rescue green.

OK...

To bring this thread back on track, Here is the steps i took on mine:

My first lift, Was a Skyjacker 2" poly block lift with Hydro shocks... Cost $220



Then, I started adding the heavy shrockworks bumpers, Rockrails, And under armor







Then, I added the Warn Powerplant and some 2" Rustys Springs, But cant find any pics other than this poser shot



Here is the 4" Superlift, With 8 Currie Control arms



Here i am getting ready to take my JK in to get the new shoes installed!



And here is the current pic! 35" Hankook MT's on chrome steelies

First week photo after debadging and painting the ugly stock wheels:

Another:

Then I added team sly tube bumpers, blacked everything out, added spider trax adapters/spacers with black Jeep Canyon wheels and 33 Maxxis Buckshots.


This week I bought a used RR 2.5 BB from the classifieds section on here and it will go on as soon as it arrives.
Lots more to do. I know alot of people dont like tube bumpers but I love them. I have plans to shorten them a little for a mid width look.

You guys have some nice rigs. I want shrockworks bumpers so bad... They are quality. That Jeep is so nice Big A. My fave color too. I have never seen those wheels before, I bet you are the only person with them on here. What is next on the list?

five-0... I am not crazy about tube bumpers, but those things are mega tough. My friend ran into the side of a camaro that pulled out in front of him. It bent his tube bumper maybe 2 inches, and busted his kc light. the camaro was a total loss. say what you want about tubes... but IMO they work.

Dremex. I love the way those skinny muds looked on your factory wheels. I love classic black wheels on a jeep, but dude, that was bad ass that way. Did it rub? what are the measurements on that tire?

You guys are making some smart mods. you can tell you all really use your Jeeps. I love it! keep them comming. Who is next??? I know some more guys havent gone straight to 100k rigs. I wanna see the budget guys!

The day I brought her home.



After 3inches of lift and some big ole 35's




This is Stage 1.

I am beginning stage 2 armor and gears.

On the list:

AEV snorkus
still debating 5.13's or 4.88's
front bumper
belly skids

thats a big difference from stock! that is a tall 3"!!! I think the 3" BD springs are the same springs they sell as the superlift 4". Good start. Oh... and go 5.13s over the 4.88 They drive like the jeep should have to begin with, IMO. It is just a tad bit lower than stock. I had the 4.10s on my auto and going to the 5.13 was smartest mod yet. Good start man.

Who else building on the cheap?
