3 years ago I built a 2009 wrangler X and had to sell it when I got orders to Okinawa, Japan. Well my wife told me if I save enough over the 3 years I'm here I can build anything I want.....well it's come the time where I am ready to order my parts...I just ordered my brand new 2014 Wrangler Unlimited 4-door hardtop...and over the last 3 years I have been researching and deciding every aspect of my build....removing and replacing parts from my build list.....

This will be my DD however I want to build it up to be capable of handling any crawling I decide to do....

Here's my parts list, please let me know what you think and if I'm missing anything I will NEED to run everything...

All of that, and you're planning on running the stock d30/d44 ?

Still contemplating wether to beef up my axles(d30/d44) or to just get a new D44 for the front and beef up 2 D44's...

This new engine has the exhaust manifold cast as part of the head . No headers needed .

Awesome...that'll save me $600.....I had the old 3.8L on my old rig.....but I've heard this new 3.6L is waaaay better..

I highly suggest not going with the snotty built xrc bumpers, check out the atlas bumper, wayyy better quality and has Jerry can holder, check out poison spyder for front bumpers, by far strongest in the market

Thanks, I'm going to take a look at them now...I am stationed in Okinawa so I am going with what I read on here....lol I thought they looked good, but glad to hear from people who have seen or dealt with them....

I disagree on this as I have Smitty MOD bumper with the stinger and it's a tank! I had one on my 2011 when I got hit head on at 70mph and the bumper was fine and just one weld cracked on the stinger. Went out and bought another one just like it for my 13 Rubicon. I don't see how you could ask for a tougher bumper than that.

Cool build !

You really need a supercharged 3.6? The 3.6 has significantly more power than old motor.

I don't think I NEED it, but it's one of those things that imma want to do down the road anyway, so as long as I have my wife's go ahead I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on that too.....I've been living frugally here in Okinawa for 3 years, saving everything I can, specifically to build the jeep I really want this time.....I did the budget build on my last wrangler and it was amazing, but I've spent 3 years saving, reading, watching YouTube, and it's getting to the time to build my new baby...
