Default 305Jeep... Build

Starting out on a 2014JKU I bought from the dealer a few months ago. This is my first Jeep, so will be a slow build as I learn from locals and forum members.

So its nothing crazy but a start. 2014 with 4k miles.
Shit got expensive like, quick!!! ughhh
Just spent 1 1/2months in Japan and Bali. Got home and very next day was in the shop placing my order.

I bought and installed Bestop Trek top Nx. Fit great. did it alone and wasnt to bad. the picture directions are basic. Had better luck with youtube directions.
$680

5 Pro Comp 52 D-window steelies - 15x8 3.75bs
$280

5 Pro comp Extreme MT2 35x12.50
$1300

Tire Warranty
$130

TerraFlex Budget Boost 2.5 (this is temporary as Im deciding between Metal Cloak or Rock Krawler)
$260

Magnaflo Glasspack/Muffler. Going to reove stock muffler to make room for air tank. Ive seen these on Youtube and to ME, dont sound to bad. If it sucks Ill change it!
$37

Tire relocation Bracket
$50

Snap in TPMS valves
$35

Labor-$430 (wheels/tires and Budget boost, alignment etc)
Misc - $130 I gotta check on that one again
Tax- $230

Well its a start for now. Next big thing will be the full suspension set up. Then Bumpers,then gears.

This is one of many reasons my closest neighbor back home is over 3/4 of a mile away. I'm curious, is this a sport, sahara, Rubicon etc?

How do you like the top so far? Did your '14 come with a hardtop? I'm looking at the NX for a bit now and I really dig the fastback style. I just want to be able to go topless quickly!

Yes HOA is terible. I moved down from NY almost 2yrs ago so this spot is temporary.
My Jeep is a JKU Sport. I went with that as it had the options tha I need at this time. Ill upgrade better options as time goes on, rather then replace theover charged options from the dealer.
