2 door was a fun build. The jku will be a very well built and capable pavement princess. However I did learn a lot from my 2 door build so once I get started this one should go a little more smoothly.

Thanks to Black Friday I've started ordering parts.
I've (we've this is hers) decided on 35" bfg km's
Which I got an excellent deal on. 5 tires for 1289.
Wish I could afford two sets for that price. The trail grapplers in my two door are getting close to the end of there days.
Going with Rock Krawler 3.5 max travel kit. Haven't ordered that yet but I did get rock krawler 2 shocks and bump stops ordered. Found em on eBay brand new for 500. In a bundle.

I'm not saying they're junk, but within the past 2 wheeling trips I've watched my buddy snap the rods on both rear RK shocks the first trip, and blew the shaft out of the bottom of the body on the last trip. Hope your luck is better than his.

It always handled well on the trail. But it's been on for a few years now and the bumpstop extensions have fallen apart.
I'm putting a Rock Krawler max travel kit on the new jku.
The TF kit has not held up well. Sags quite a bit now and most of the link bushings are shot as well.
