Today's the day!
Picking up my 2014 Willys Wheeler edition from the dealer. I have a list of over 30 mods from this thread I will be tackling this weekend. I totaled them all up and all 30 something will only cost about $250. There are a few that I will do over the next couple months that will cost more, like stubbing the bumper, 2.5" BB Lift, wheel spacers, and a few after market features, but most are free or next to nothing. I will take pics as I go, and post after the weekend to show progress.
Thanks to all who have contributed, this thread and all who share here are awesome.
BTW, my wife asked if she would ever get to drive it, and I said on one condition.....you always wave to ALL other Jeeps!

You can stub the front bumper for the cost of rivets. Look at my picture.

For the guys who hate the key-in-ignition door chime, I found this on another forum. I haven't tried it, mainly because ever since I installed a remote start my chime doesn't ding anymore (malfunction or coincidence? I don't care, I'm glad it's off). So feel free to give this a try and see if it works for you!
Hey guys,
If your key in ignition chime annoys you there is an easy fix.
Remove the shroud under the steering column
Turn the key to red lights on the dash
Push the little tab under your column that is on the ignition barrel and pull the key out, the whole barrel will come with it.
Look in the hole the ignition barrel has left
You will see a small black tab. Grabit with a pair of needle nose pliers and twist it as though you are trying to turn the key off untill it snaps.
Once it is gone you will have to turn the little barrel it sits in till the red lights ate on the dash again.
Insert the barrel along with the key and it will clip into place.
No more dinging.
Screw the shroud back on. All done.
Hope you enjoyed a little aussie ingenuity.
Peace out
