I traded a custom full crawler YJ for this Built 2009 Jk about a month ago. The YJ was a thorn in my side for a long time but I also poured my heart and soul into it trying to make it perfect which i will try not to do on this one. When i rolled my crawler in 2013 and started the rebuild in late 2013 I still was crazy about wheeling all the time, but as life goes on and hobbies shift I no longer wanted a dedicated off-road only crawler anymore. i wanted something street legal and was lucky enough to find something locally.
Like most JK's this has a lot of little mods done here and there so I';; just list the important crap

Pretty much overhyped junk. Make sure you get the proper lube for the joints.
ahh I see, well they are like the Carli system on my dodge ram and have to be lubed often so yesterday I climb under and put the grease gun on everything
built an exhaust because it had no muffler and sounded terrible, couldn't find an exhaust that would work off the shelf and wasn't going to spend 250+ just to cut one up. Built this for about $100
It had a stereo in it but was wired all wrong and had a small sub. I moved the amp under the seat with a great bracket I found on ebay, Ran Front,rear,and sub channels RCA's vs just one channel, and ended up blowing up the 10" in there so threw in this Old school L7 I have laying around. It absolutely pounds in the jeep but also underpowered with amp I have. Not going to be a permanent set up but glad I got the Amp out of the way for the dog.
Doing wiring clean up as well, it has a RC switch panel setup with relay box but my little OCD needs to change things up and make it my way, I don't plan on dumping a bunch of money into this but I have a lot of stuff laying around from other builds and projects so most of my projects are small and tedious.
