The plans:

I'll be ordering this in the next week or two (unless I change my mind about some stuff):
Rock Krawler 3.5 X Factor w/ Bilstein's
Pro Comp 7005's, 17x9
Mickey T's MTZ P3
Bartact Seat Covers
Tuffy Security Deck

And then I'll install this stuff that I removed from the 2012 JK:
JCR Front Bumper (this has rusted over pretty good so I need to clean it up first/rust is because of my crappy paint job)
Badlands Winch
GenRight Aluminum Rear Bumper
Teraflex Hinge Tire Carrier System
CB and stuff

And when I save up I'll get:
Remote Start
Rock Rails/steps
Soft Top

And when I decide I hate having money in my pocket:
Drive Shafts
Gears
Lockers

Welp, this has been a real PITA. Sold my Jeep on Sep 16th-ish. Didn't get the equity owed to me until Nov 20th-ish. Made my order with NorthRidge4x4 on Black Friday. Which means they got slammed. So, my stuff will finally ship on Tuesday. No idea how long it will take to get up to Alaska from Washington State. A week or two maybe? I've been like a kid on Christmas morning just waiting on everyone to get up so I can open my gifts. =) Anyway, I ordered:

Rock Krawler 3.5 X-Factor w/ Bilsteins
35in BFG KM2's
17x8.5 Pro Comp Rockwells
AEV Pro Cal
Bartact Seat Covers
Teraflex CB Antenna mount for the Hinged Tire Carrier
Exhaust Spacer
License Plate Delete
EVO Low Angle Rock Sliders

I already swapped over my Winch, Front Bumper, Rear Bumper, and Hinged Tire Carrier. I installed some of those aluminum front and rear Grab Handles from Amazon. Love em'. Oh, and did some Sunpie LED headlights and foglights. Problematic, but cheap. And installed a grab-handle CB mount for my Midland handheld. I'll post up photos when everything is done. And I installed a 2 way remote start. And a rugged ridge dash tray phone holder thing. And then. no and then.

Nice, "Dude, where's my car" reference...I have the phone holder and like it. You have to tighten it every once and a while. There is a write up on here on how to fix it though. Looking forward to the outcome.

I wouldn't recommend it. I bought the trailer for a place to stay while at work during the week. Only pulled it once so far and may borrow a truck with more power to move it again. I drove 2 hours with it and learned a few things. 1. You can't see anything behind you, had to buy extension mirrors. 2. Transmission does not like trailers and hills, even though the trailer is under the recommended weight the Jeep can haul. 3. Traffic was pissed at me the whole time, due to 1 and 2. Made it though, oh and had to get an anti sway set up with trailer brakes. But it is parked next to a lake and while working, get to enjoy that every night.

I had a travel trailer like that once before but pulled it with an F-150. I just wondered if it was feasible. I'll steer clear of it. Now a boat on the other hand.... muwaahhaaahhhaaaa

The pallet has arrived! I hope to install it all, minus the rocker guards, this weekend. BTW, I don't know why it keeps flipping the photos to the side. Meh.

I notice that a lot of time if I take a pic with my phone, and send them over to my laptop, the pic will get re-orientateded in the process. I simply just re-orientate the pic prior to uploading to the site. Kind of a PITA.
