Hello from Central Valley CA
Been Jeeping for a few years now. Started off with a 2014 2 Door Granite Crystal JK Sport that got me hooked into this Jeep Life. When my wife and I found out we were having a baby the 2 door didn't seem practical for a car seat and getting a baby/young child in and out so I sold my 2 door and bought a 2016 Mojave Sand JKU Sport. Been building it up since I got it in May of 2016.
Here's where it currently stands:
2016 JKU Sport Mojave Sand named RAGNAROK
I wanted a manual trans and Mojave Sand and couldn't find one anywhere in the state so I did a custom order through Jeep. I went with a basic Sport model to build from the ground up and the only options I had added were hardtop, max tow package and limited slip rear (should have skipped the limited slip as it has been replaced with a ARB air locker already!).
What I've done so far:
- 3.5" Rock Krawler Flex System lift with Bilstein 5100 shocks
- 17" Procomp 7032 wheels with 35" BFG KM2 tires
- EVO Quarter Pounder with Stinger front bumper and EVO Fascia Rear
- Rubicon Take Off Rock Rails (trimmed to fit 35's+)
- Yukon 4.88 gears with ARB diff covers front and rear
- ARB Air Locker in the rear (still have the D30 up front so that one is open until I upgrade the axle)
- ARB High Output Air Compressor
- JW Speaker headlights and tailights
- Inspired Engineering 6Cube Lights above fairlead
- Magnaflow Rock Crawler Exhaust
- Warn VR10-S Winch with Factor 55 Fairlead and Flatlink E Shackle
- Misc. other stuff (HI-Lift, CB, exhaust spacer, etc.)
Plan is to eventually replace the front axle with a 44 or possibly a 60 and move up to 37's.
My to do list includes: EVO Sliders, Front and Rear Driveshafts, Rear Tire Carrier among other things. Seems like my build spreadsheet is constantly being updated and modified.
Here are a few pics:

Welcome to JK Forum! I've been following you on IG for a little while - nice rig 
I am also in the Central Valley (Kingsburg), but only for another week or so. Maybe we'll see you out on a trail some time.
