Hello all, not only am i an newb on this forum, I dont even have a Jeep yet. I have been a member for a year now and this is my first post. I am currently in Afghanistan as a contractor, been here and Iraq for 3 years now. I did 10 years in the Army as a 11B (mortar men) and a 33W (Military Intel/satcom).

I have put together a build sheet for my jeep, i looks to be 20g in parts. One main problem I have is that i am over here and cant just buy and put on all the parts, I would like to post it and see what people that have a Wrangler Unlimited think i need to add or take away from the list. What tread would I put a build sheet in to get the most traffic?

 

Put in this thread.

 

Let's see it man!

 

Thanks for your service sir my dad is in Afghanistan as a contractor as well.

 

Remember i dont have a JK yet... Will order/buy one when I am home on leave in NOV. There might be some major things missing from the list, before I post it I am not sure if all of the web sites are on this forum so do I just put a space in the address so it does not link or leave it out?

 

here is the first page:

Suspension;

Long arm kit,
offroadevolution.com/store/proddetail.php?prod=EVO-LONGARM-UPGRADE

Front,

Rear, (with skid plate, upgraded rear sway bar)
offroadevolution.com/store/proddetail.php?prod=EVO-DOUBLEDOWN-REAR

I have read some on Anitrock may not be what I am looking for quote from their website “This sway bar may be used on the street, however, it will not provide the same performance as the stock setup.”

Axle;

Gears,
4.88? From what I have read going up to a 35” tire I need the 4.88 so as to not lose rpm/mpg. (They do not have to be from this web site just a link for reference)

Front axle gussets,
rockslideengineering.com/servlet/the-14/R-dsh-SE-Bombshell-Kit/Detail

Axle Shafts,
rcvperformance.com/store/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=43&osCsid=81

Lights;
Led upgrades
Head lights, (I have read a lot about how poor the reflectors are, I know the LED lights work because all the HMMWV and MRAPs use them here) Let me know what you think.
rdmoffroad.com/7-round-12v-led-headlamp.aspx

Tail lights,
riverraider.biz/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=47&products _id=133
(i would have to see how they looked)

Bumper Front,

Benchmark Designs with stinger, I have to PM then about it when I get my JK.

Bumper Rear,

Benchmark Designs (see posts further down thread for pics!)

There are no Fenders on this current list due to the fact that I am unsure of the width front and back and don’t want to be out of regulation in PA. I would love to see some w/ armor for the corners like;

Front,

poisonspyder.com/prod-jkfrontcrusherflares.php (w/ LED)

Rear,

offroadevolution.com/store/proddetail.php?prod=EVO-ARMOR-FENDERS-REAR

Tires/Rims;

35” NITTO MUD GRAPPLER x5 Or similar
Rims,
Stock if they can be used with a 35” tire.

Trans, Drive shaft;

Tom Woods drive shafts.

Exhaust;

Ripp Long tube with High flow cats
http://www.rippmods.com/Jeep_Wrangle...jk38-lthdr.htm

continued on page 3

 

Magnaflow, exit between wheel well and tire (like a HMMWV). I don’t like the way some guys just end it under the body, I would like it to exit out of the body, plus
PA requires it to exit the body.


Tune/Speedo calibration;

Flash of computer for recalibration for bigger tires, tune for better throttle response.

As you can tell from reading some of the parts for the front are from a different company then the rear, I think that the mix and match of the parts looks good together. On that note the finish might very, let’s call that character!

This is all I have right now, more to come

 

Wow after rereading and doing a edit I will have to get one when i am home this year, I got myself all worked up now! lol

 

I am single, no bills, no house, no kids, and have been overseas for 3 years! It is my incentive to come home and start a life!
