Plain and simple, if you had a stock 2014 jku SPORT, and $10k cold cash, what would you put on it?

TheDirtman

I would not molest a 2014 at all. Drive it untill it gets some age on it. Put that 10k in the bank.

DunnyBunny

I would do 37" toyos
Raceline beadlocks, or rugged ridge wheels-satin black with machined lip, or the Mickey Thompson Classic lock-again black with machined ring
Synergy 3" with fox resi shocks and currie or mc arms, synergy tie rod and draglink flip kit.
Custom build my own sliders and bumpers-saves a ton of money to put towards other places
Gussets and ball joints
Tuner.
Winch

Or I'd just buy the pr44 and put the rest towards lift and wheels/tires.

Knowing the kind of building you do on your jeep I'm calling bs. Lol. No offense. Your saying if you had a 2014 and that's the only jeep you had, you wouldn't do anything to it?

TheDirtman

I waited 3 years before I touched my 2007 JK. My 2007 JKU is still stock. I would not buy a brand new jeep and start messing with it. I love the guys that do it though I get cheap tires for my JKU.

But give me a used jeep and I will cut that bitch up.

DunnyBunny

Lol. Ok I'll buy it. Just looking at your builds it's hard to imagine that.

TheDirtman

This is just a kid building a poser jeep anyway from the looks of the build list. 37's and no gearing on a sport?

SiliconTi

OK, I'll bite. Here is the rough off the top of my head list:

ARB Air lockers front and rear
Regear to 4:88 (if a stick, lower if an Auto)
35" Treadwright tires on stock rims
SpiderTrax spacers
ShrockWorks mid front bumper
Warn Zeon 10K
OR-FAb Tire/Gas can carrier
Rock Rails
Dual Battery Setup
Olympic Warrior Rear winch bumper
Warn Zeon rear winch
AEV 3.5DS Lift

This is close to how how my Rubi is setup now.

Pass on your evo kit and put the money into your own frankenlift. That would save some money to put towards a properly geared and trussed axle. Pass on the trail doors, pass on the trail dash, and pass on smitty anything- unless it's just about looks.

If it's just about looks then the list looks right, hopefully 18" wheels. No 50" light bar though??

The plan here is to get the jeep capable of minor stuff I'm doing like hunting and camping. I'm not going to thrash a brand new jeep until the years come when i decide to put some pr44/pr60 axles in, but that won't be until after the jeep is paid off. The 37's are for fun, and I could care less if anyone else in the world saw my jeep, that's how "I" want it to look. I don't see anything wrong with the bumpers, I know the brands aren't top-of-the-line but they will serve the purpose I need them for. Front bumper for an inexpensive high clearance for when i decide to take things up a notch, and rear bumper to hold the bigger tires while keeping good clearance. Yes I'm a newbie to jeeps, and I have no experience from these parts, but they look promising for my purposes. You'll see my jeep on the Payson Rim long before it ever visits a mall, so watch who you assume of posing.
