Jeek's budget build
Well as you know I have been Jeeping on a budget its time to start a build thread.
My dad got this jeep for him but I took over it, we got it used in 2010. It's a 2007 jkux
This is when I got it stock drove it like this for 2 year's until I started wheeling
After my first wheeling trip in February 17 2012 I got addicted being 17 with no job I couldn't buy much so I started looking on the forums for used stuff that I will be able to use off road
I found rock sliders for 150 so I drove out there with the little money I was able to save I bought them off a forum member.
After I found some low cost mods thread so I started to do a bunch of them, I did a grill guard, bed lined wheels, bed lined fenders and bumpers, jeeps logos then I did the whole grille.
After a whole of rolling with cosmetic mods I took a bigger step and bought some really cheap rubicon stock tires, for 450 and I started to wheel harder stuff and harder trails, after a couple weeks I finally got a cb radio with everything for 100 and diff covers front and rear for 150 which was on sale.
And then the game began, I started to wheel a lot more but being on a budget not always I have had money for gas, this whole time I have been buying stuff like deflators recovery gear and stuff , about 6 months ago my buddy took his windshield lights off his jeep and front fenders so he gave them to me from some chipotle, that lead to cutting my fenders, about 2 months ago I found a bumper for dirt cheap so I picked it up,
Yesterday my two wheeling buddies that are awesome gave me a lift and helped me install it, its a teraflex 2.5 coil lift with teraflex shocks,
I'm sure I'm forgetting some stuff I have done to it but so far thats what I have done!
