Smile Tim08JK's 2 Door Build

Hi All,

New to the forums (this is my first post) and figured that I would share what I have done to my 2 door, so far. I'm not new to Jeeps, previously had a 2000 Jeep Cherokee and I'm happy that I've made the switch over to a Wrangler (never want to go back)! I'll try to keep this thread up to date as I add more parts. Anyway, onto the Jeep.

Current Modifications:
  • 3" Teraflex Lift
  • 285/75/17 BFG All-Terrains
  • Poison Spyder Brawler Lite Front Bumper
  • Warn HS9500i
  • Poison Spyder Frame Mounted Rocker Knockers
  • Air Raid cold air intake
  • Magnaflow Catback
  • Truck Lite Headlights
  • 20" LED Lightbar

Ade, I've been following your build as well. Although, yours is a bit more built up then mine, haha! And yeah, the color is starting to grow on me more and more.

I have a couple of updates, put on the rugged ridge hood latches, mirror relocation, some interior odds and ends, Smittybuilt tire carrier, and got new wheels and tires. Went with 305/65/17 (33x12) BFG KM2's on MB 352 Wheels.

Nice. You're going to enjoy the lack of hood flutter from the RR latches.

You just need some tube fenders and we'll have twins.

Like the stubby, was planning to trim my Warn front to make it into a stubby at some point.

Figured I'd post some updates. I've mainly been trying to get my steering sorted out. I decided to stick with Synergy for all of my steering components, as I've only heard nothing but good reviews. Here's the stuff I've done since my last post:
- Synergy Ball Joints
- Synergy Chromoly Tie Rod
- Synergy Drag Link
- Synergy Trackbar
- Synergy Trackbar & Sector Shaft Brace
- Synergy SS Relocation Bracket & Tie Rod Clamp

Yup, I've attached a picture below. There is an "X" pattern, however it doesn't bother me at all.
