This is officially starting my Jeep build. I ordered a 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon on August 8th, 2013. Was told it would be 4 to 6 weeks so I’m just patiently waiting now. Maybe not so patiently, but it has shipped so I should have it in the next 10 days so here is my build plan. I will get this project done quickly and will post as much as I can along the way so please be patient with me.

Sounds like you either know exactly what you want and/or you have some serious cash to spend. Only advice I would give is to not rush the mods. You may find you really like some and others not so much.

It's probably a little bit of both but I do appreciate your advise. I just sold my other Jeep and took all the $ I put into that one along with some more and ordered exactly what I wanted for this Jeep. I've done a lot of looking and research and pretty much figured out exactly what I want for this one. If I'm wrong I'll be extremely disappointed and out a whole lot of money.

I can say, with all the parts that I've received already, I'm not disappointed yet.

Sounds like a nice build. Congrats!

I have an all white 2012, I am jealous you got the wild boar bumper and the AEV hood - that's gonna look sweet! I'll be watching this post for pics!

jbbouknight

Thanks. I'm real excited about it and will update with photos. I have a bunch of boxes but I'm sure everyone has seen boxes so there isn't much value in that. If anyone wants to see pictures of anything I have before I start the build, just ask.

The gill and hood are going to be sweet, especially when I get them painted. I'm going to mount some LED spot lights in the wild boar grill shining down towards the bumper, that in my mind are going to be sweet. Just don't know if I want them to turn on with the headlights or put them on their own switch.

Just waiting on the Jeep now.

Geeze... That's some coin.

Congrats on the new JK and the impressive parts list.

I've had my JK for 6.5 years and haven't been able to put a list like that together...

IT'S HERE! 8 Weeks almost to the hour from when it was ordered, my JKUR is here! At the dealership now, waiting on PDI. Came off the truck at 10:04. Hopefully it'll be on the lift to install the AEV Lift by Noon. It's going to be a very busy next 4 or 5 days. I'll do my best to post pics and log the progress. My Jeep officially has a name now, Big White! I can explain that later if anyone wants to know.

Sweet! Can't wait to see the finished product! Congrats!
