Default 2014 Copperhead Build

Hello,

I order my first ever Jeep 3/22/14 and it arrived 4/23/14. I ordered a Sport S Copperhead Pearl with max tow, trac-lok, dual top, slush mats, Sirius, and bluetooth. I picked it up 4/24/14 with 10 miles on her. I picked it up around dark and it's raining today, so here it is:



First thing was the VDP stubby bumper kit:



Then N-Fab steps because the wife is 5'-1" and the kids got her height. I also got the Teraflex 2.5" coil lift with Bilstein 5100s installed on the rear today. The front will be tomorrow along with Teraflex adjustable track bar, geometry correction brackets, and Synergy bolt kit. When I'm done with that I'll finish installing the Teraflex tire carrier. 315/70r17 Duratracs will be installed Monday morning on the stock rims.





I have Bushwacker flat flares to install sometime too.

While at the dealer, I had them remove the Sport and Unlimited decals. I added the Antenna-X 13".



I received my trailer hitch cover.



I drilled the mirrors, stuffed the overhead speaker area with polyfil, and added my garage door opener to the a-pillar.



After I installed it I noticed that I got the Velcro too high. I'll fix that later.

Took some sunny pictures before removing the hard top and installing Bushwacker flat flares. Also decided to remove the front doors, install Rugged Ridge quick release mirrors, and Spiderwebshades cover. My first Jeep and I'm loving it.





I installed the DIY gutter guard mod and plasti-dipped the Jeep emblem.



I installed Kicker sport bar speakers and added these black reflective hood decals. First one is without flash and second one is with flash.
