Default A Special Tribute Build

Hello! I wanted to share a pretty special build with you all. I have created a tribute called "Honoring the Fallen" that is dedicated to those service members that have paid the ultimate price while serving our nation. The build is dedicated to Armed Forces, Law Enforcement, and firefighters. I know several members here fit into these categories and I'd like to say Thank You!
If you are a family member of one of these heroes that has died while serving, Thank you!
The following posts will follow the build and I hope you enjoy! If you'd like to post a note or memorial pic of a loved one that has died while serving our nation, please do.

Looking forward to following this one. Will it be a themed tribute build or just a build in honor of. Post a picture of the starting Jeep.

A little background, my good friend approached me to do a wrapped vehicle advertising for his business, I was all for it but proposed the idea of making it special and with a theme behind it. Our first build was a 9/11 specific build dedicated to those killed during the attacks. The vinyl was deteriorating so it had to be redone (after 3 1/2yrs.). Instead of redoing the vinyl I began brainstorming another tribute. And this build is the result.

The base will be a 2012 Unlimited COD MW3 edition. Found a great deal private party that I couldn't pass up. Great deal = more money to spend on mods!

I decided to do the vinyl work first. After 8 revisions, here is the final result. Click image for larger version

On the mod list in the very near future will be:
Teraflex HD hinge tire carrier
Teraflex tailgate table

And for the real work:
Teraflex Pre-Runner kit with Fox shocks. This will be quite the undertaking and I'll try to post the highlights.

I have a few light installs to do but am deciding on the wiring and central point for switches. Most likely a sPod.

I'll also add the winch mounting plate and a winch ( to be determined.)
I'll look to upgrade wheels too but will stick with these tires (MTR Kevlar's) for now.
