Double Deuce Build Thread
Purchased my '08 JKU in January of 2015 after trading in my '02 WJ. The WJ worked for me, but didn't do everything I wanted to do.
With that, the Double Deuce Build began...
Dealer photo:
After driving it for a few months, I immediately saw the need for new headlight assemblies. Trucklite came through with a great headlight!
After a few more months, I upgraded the exhaust, air intake, added quick release mirrors, etc.
Going through build threads, I decided to bite the bullet and order a lift. I went with the 2.5 Rock Krawler Flex system with Bilstein shocks. With that, I ordered 315/70-17 Nitto's with ProComp 97 Series Steelies.
Other upgrades consisted of new ball joints, drag link, steering stabilizer, additional lighting, etc.
All said and done, this is how it sits today:

Little video I put together - it's not much, but it's better than a bunch of photos!

PM next time your in town. If it is wheeling season I would be glad to take you out with our Jeep club. There are some decent trail, just 45 minutes outside of town.

Picked up the Christmas Tree last weekend - didn't realize how spoiled I was with the roof rack on the WJ. I managed to find a few anchoring points. Next year, I'll send both the front and rear ratchet straps through the cab and call it a day.
