Hey everyone, I'm Jeremy. I've lurked here for a few months reading various threads. Thought I'd finally register. I have a 2016 Willys Wheeler JKU in Granite Crystal Metallic. Ordered it, and received it on January 31st of this year. So far I love the Jeep lifestyle. Came from sports cars so the whole Jeep thing is definitely new to me. So far have quite a few mods done in just a short period of time. Started out with just a Teraflex Leveling kit with wheel spacers, and moved up to a full on spring kit a few weeks ago. I'll list a few things and post a few photos. Thanks for looking!


The Jeep:
2016 JKU Willys Wheeler
6 Speed Manual
Hard Top
Manual Locks/windows
Base Radio with Alpine Premium Sound
Max Tow Group Package

Mods:

-Suspension-

Teraflex 2.5" Spring lift with 1" Teraflex pucks for armor weight
Teraflex Monster Front Trackbar
Teraflex Sport Flex control arms
Fox Performance 2.0 Shocks
Fox Performance 2.0 Steering Stabilizer
Teraflex Exhaust Spacers

-Wheels/Tires-
16x9 ATX Cornice in Black
315/75/16 Mickey Thompson Deegan 38

-Body-
Barricade Extreme Front Bumper
Smittybilt Rear bumper with Tire Carrier (one swing door motion)
Angry Bird Grille
Currently Factory Rubi Rails, but will be bolting on a set of Sahara side steps for my short legged significant other until I can afford ACE Rock sliders
JKS License Plate relocation
75th Anniversary Emblems
Short Radio Antenna
3' CB Antenna on rear

-Lighting and Accessories-
Custom Retrofit Projector Headlights with CCFL Halos and 5000K HID's
52" Amazon Light bar with Mounts
4" LED Pods by windshield pillar
Custom Busman Relay system for cleaner and easier wiring
Rugged Ridge Pillar switch pod with Otrattw.com switches
LED Foglights in Factory housing
LED reverse lights
(I have a set of 4" LED cubes for the front bumper, as well as for the rear for reverse or pesky tailgaters)

-Interior-
Spiderweb Sunshade over driver and passenger compartment
Smittybilt tailgate Molle panel and bags
Neoprene Seat covers
Quadratec accessory wiring harness for keyed ignition power
Passport Escort Max 2 Radar Detector (hardwired)
Garmin Advanced Series Glass Touchscreen Nav (hardwired)
Midland CB radio with 3' Firestik (not firefly) antenna


I'm sure I'm missing a few things. Here's some photos:
