I added an LOD mid width bumper and a Warn M8000. Next on the schedule is installing some JKU 18/58 springs to get a bit of a lift. Oh and I have to see if my PSC skid fits the 12... to be continued!

It's a 7,000 lb capacity Backyard Buddy working with a 120" ceiling height. Since it only has 71.5" of room underneath, I use two 1/2" thick (12" x 12") high density rubber squares under each leg platform. That gets me enough to clear a stock height JK on Rubican tires. But, with the Jeep underneath, nothing else will fit on top - hence the Mini Cooper + 911 combo that lives in the alcove garage bay. Great for changing my own oil - it'll pay for itself in 50 years! Actually the oil change on the Porsche runs ~$300 at the dealer; I can do it myself for about $70 (9 quarts of Mobil 1 + filter).

Rough crowd! These guys have managed to mod their 2012 JKs that haven't even been out for a full week, and already two posts giving them a hard time because they haven't got them dirty yet? Good for them for stepping up to the plate and ordering one without concrete specs or pricing, pre-ordering some well thought out mods, and getting them installed in such a short time. My guess is they also have jobs, so unless they took maternity leave for the delivery of thier new babies, it's even more impressive.

Thanks for posting guys, keep the pics coming!
