This is actually 3 weeks

King OEM Performance Series Shocks
AEV JK Geometry Correction Front Control Arm Drop Brackets
AEV JK High Steer Kit
Backup Camera
Rigid Industries SR-M Flush Mount Back Up Light Kit
AFE Stage-2 Open Air Intake System

Absolutely great mods, the shocks made a huge improvement and the AEV bits finished it off.

Thumbs up '13 JKU build since August

After fully stock/oem trips to Carnegie and Hollister proved that the stock version is awesome , I started my build. Bought a '13 brand new in August of '14. First changes were the front and rear bumpers. My kids had fun helping with these. We installed the XRC's.

This past week the next set of changes were finished. I spent a couple months researching the options for building a fun JK for trail riding at Rubicon and Hollister type locations. I also want to use it on everyday drives as well. So far I have: 2013 Black Jeep JK Unlimited (base), auto, 3.73 gears, 3.5 Rubicon Super Flex, Bilstein 5100’s, ProComp 315 70 R17’s, XRC Bumpers, XRC 9.5 Gen2 Synthetic Winch, SRC side armor, Body Armor Trail Doors and soft top only.

My next decision is which superchips to get. Any advice out there on the difference between the three options? Flashcal and Flashpaq seem to work well for others.
Eventually, I will add lighting too. Suggestions?

Now I need to sell the OEM parts that were replaced. Let me know if you want any of the following:

All parts from a 2013 jeep jk unlimited (4 door) with less than 2000 miles on it.
OEM Mopar Front Bumper w/fog lights -- $100
OEM Mopar Front hooks -- $20
OEM Mopar Rear Bumper w/rear tow hook -- $75
OEM Mopar Hitch - $40
OEM Mopar Suspension - (4) shocks/struts & (4) springs, arms, bars, links, lines, all parts removed for full suspension lift are included -- $440 see picture
(5) Goodyear wrangler tires like new under 2k miles with 17" alloy wheels. 13 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK with 5x5" Bolt Pattern -- $750
Also selling XRC bumper by smittybilt $350. New it was $600 plus tax and delivery. Stock tire carrier and brake can be bought with the bumper for $75 extra.

Ironically, its in the driveway going no where until i have the time to get under it and fix the bent drag link, put in new rear brakes, and bash out the skid plate so it doesn't hit the exhaust..
