Default Frenchie's Mild JKU Build

Well, I traded my Raptor for the JK about two months ago and finally got started on some mods. The Jeep is my second vehicle so it's main purpose is making sure I can function when winter gets bad and have a little fun in the summer. Won't be doing much wheeling if any but I like functional. Words are boring so here we go:

Current
-Pioneer SPH-DA120
-Custom USB Plug in Center console
-Pro Comp Series 69 Flat Black 17" x 9"
-BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO - 315/70R17
-Zone 3" Lift
-Fox 2.0 shocks and stabilizer
-Barricade front bumper
-Barricade 9500 winch
-Rugged Ridge Grab Handles (girlfriend is 5' on a good day)
-Weathertech floor liners front and back
-Rugged Ridge Parking Light bezel
-Black logos
-Shorty antenna

Next up will be sliders, a rear bumper/tire carrier and a light bar

Took a couple of quick phone pictures with the lift. I have about 100 miles on and it rides great.

Zone 3" Lift
Fox 2.0 shocks on all corners
Fox Steering Stabilizer

Front bumper, winch, and weathertech floor mats all deliver today so I'll throw some more pictures up when I get it all installed.

Barricade front bumper and 9500 lb winch installed last night. Super easy install. It didn't take two hours start to finish.

Thanks! I really like the stereo. I'm a huge tech guy and live by my phone so having a stereo that controls your phone and uses it's apps is great. I got a Maestro harness that keeps the steering wheel buttons and actually lets you program extra uses like long holds etc.
