Default 2016 JKUR Back to Black

so i will be starting the build with a 2016 JKU Rubicon w/3.73 Gears, Auto , Black Leather Interior, 430 NAV HU, Alpine speakers, Body Color Hardtop and fender flares

ground up

Duratrac 315/70/17
17X9 Rugged Ridge XHD Gunmetal wheels with black rock rings.
TBD brake upgrade. leaning towards Dynatrac PRogrip

Air raid MXP intake
Aev snorkel
TBD exhaust. Hated the drone in my axle-back gibson on the 2012
Drake hood pins

OME BP51 remote reservoir internal bypass compression/rebound adjustable
Rock Krawler 2.5 Expedition(X factor with taller rear springs) i will add up to 1" spacer in front to reduce excessive rake.(Im looking to get about 3 inches all around)
sumo springs front and rear(replaces stock white POS), with TBD length axle mount Bump stops and limiting straps) will add Hydraulic Bumpstop if need be.
(i am going to take into consideration the full droop and compression of the axle/shocks to BEST PROTECT THE SHOCKS) no over compression or bearing full weight.
Fox 2.0 ATS stabalizer
Griffin Steering Attenuator
(i would appreciate input as to the best alternative to a new driveshaft, ill let the stock ride it out before replacing both drive shafts. which product, spacer or relocation, give for the most clearance?)

smittybuilt XRC Gen 2 front stubby and rear tire carrier. rear tire carrier will mount HiLift and CB antenna. ( i really like the XRC gen 2 for the four corner hi lift jacking points
Smittybuilt SRC tube side step/rub rails. this isnt king of hammers and im in florida. no rock bouncing. at least not often, if i plan a trip to the rocks, ill get Evo rock sliders.

Smittybuilt X2O-10K Synthetic Rope

MetalCloak Overland Fenders.

JW speaker Headlights and tail lights.
LED fog lights and Turn signals
a few pairs rigid d series midnight optic

Complete interior LINEX, with TBD lizard skin application in footwells.

Molle panel overhead with
Uniden Bearcat CB with 3 or 4 foot firestick
amplified PA speaker
hornblasters kit
Molle pouch storage
Molle panel on trunk gate.

Bestop sunrider for hardtop
Hot head headliner

Front and Rear Grab bars
Passenger front grab bar Ram mount for brick of a cellphone
rearview mirror rear view camera.


alpine type R 12inch (non ported box) powered with decent amp
Viair OBA TBD. 2 on 2 gallon is what im leaning towards. will power horn blaster train horns and airing up

that is it for now!



i will be stacking the mileage as the parts come in. only at 225 miles as of 4/26/2016

once all parts arrive, i will be leaving the jeep in the hands of SOBE Jeeps in South Florida. i will be intimately involved with the suspension setup. confirming bump stop, rubbing, brake lines at flex... no offense they build beautiful machines, but my jeep is headed in a different direction.
