Default Building a 2013 JK

Hello all. Just joined the forum. I have a 2013 JK on order but I'm not new to the jeep world. I had to retire my moded WJ and decided to go wrangler this time. I just ordered a dark cherry red JK sport with the six speed, 3.73, tow package, connectivity group and hard top. I plan to do a Tera flex 2.5 and 35"s. for the summer I'm going with a bikini top and deck cover. Looking forward to the build thanks for all the great info in this forum.

Well I just got the "your parts are being ordered" email so we we are on our way. I will post pics of the build as I go. I'm not in a big rush because this is a hobby of mine so might take awhile.

Nothing wrong with taking time to do something, especially if it's your hobby. It's taken me 3 years to pull the trigger on my build. Ive only just begun. congrats on taking the plunge!

Nice setup! I like the black rims. What brand are they? 4.5 backspace? I would like to go with 15" rims but don't know if they will clear the breaks or not. I don't want to file the caliper or the wheel to make it fit.
