Default Project Colossus - 2014 JKRU

Been a while since I've been on the forum, mainly because I sold my last Jeep and bought a truck. Earlier this year I sold the truck and bought another Jeep. This time a 2014 JKRU in Billet Silver. I a lot of mods have came since I bought it back in June 2014, and I will post new mods as they come in this thread. Hope you guys enjoy!


Day that I picked it up.


First mods were some floor mats, paracord handles, tailgate MOLLE, Banks Power CAI, and a Dynomax Dual Exhaust




Then tinted the windows and added a 2.5" RC budget boost.



Added some 35's to replace the small stock tires



Added a 50" Light Bar, LED Windshield Lights, RR Light Guards, and new LED Tail Lights

Finally replaced the 2.5" lift with a 6.5" lift




Picked up a new PS Stinger bumper and replaced my cheap LEDs with some Rigid LEDs.



Installed a Smittybilt 12,000 XRC winch with synthetic rope and some PS mounts

Your jeep looks great! Good job on the build. Keep the mods coming. Why did you take off your 50 inch light bar?

I like the video. It's interesting to see the 2 door and 4 door doing the obstacles and seeing how wheelbase plays into certain things.

I took it off because at highway speeds the light bar would make the inside of the jeep so loud I couldn't hear myself think.

Here's another video of playing in some fresh powder. Nothing too intense
