Hella 1000 Black Magics went on today after I yanked the bumper and got all the rust off and re-painted.

Yup dead on. Drove the YJ from 2000-2009. Bought it used when I was 20.

Default Why start with a Willys for this build?
Not bashing, just curious, why pay for the Willys edition then replace everything that makes it a Willys. Wouldn't it have been a couple thousand cheaper to start with a Sport?

Well, I sold the wheels, tires, rubicon rock rails, rubicon shocks, and bumper appliqués for right around $2000.

I wanted 3.73s, LSD, and connectivity which is $1500 worth of options on a Sport but included with the Willys package.

So that $3500 and not having to special order a JKU was more than worth it to me to pay for the Willys package.

I think the MB72s were discontinued right before I bought the Razors.
