Alright guys here's what I did:
Rig: 2008 Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited

JC whitney brush Gaurd $250.00
Daystar 1.75 inch front and .75 inch rear. $49.00 each
Craiger 16 wheels and five wheels and 285x75r16 tires off a wrecked TJ $350.00
(Does not include elbow grease sand paper and paint for the wheels)
1 1/2 inch wheel spacer/adapter (from 5x5 to 5x4.5) Ebay $129.00 for 4!!
K/C windshield light mounts 29.99
I got the 50w lights for 14.99 apiece from auto zone
I got the wiring,switch,connectors ect.. on the same isle at auto zone $29.00

I did all the work in my driveway with simple hand tools and a few beers!

the next thing I'm gonna do is cut the fenders! I will follow Reds fender trim under write ups. his look great! So why would I pay $500 for flat panel fenders with out trying to cut mine first. I also want to try to stubby the front bumper I just got to get up the nuts to cut it!

I am pretty happy so far!

Any advice on what to do next would be cool

 

Looks great. Good to know you don't have to drop big coin to get a sharp looking rig

 

Cutting the bumper is real easy and very rewarding when its all finished.
Nice job on the budget build

 

I agree, it looks nice. Not sure how I feel about the push guard though.

 

Yeah, it kills your approach angle due to the low mount system there.

Guys with those can't make it over stuff stockers clear with ease.



Lose it (Saves even MORE $).

 

Eh bro, curious how you wired your lights ?

Straight to the battery? Or did you tap into some Ign power wires? PST how you wired , pics would be great. Thanks mon.

 

Looks good. If you haven't done so already, may be invest in some recovery gear.

 

I used 14 ga wire straight from bat. to switch( I mounted on the right side of steering wheel) then to the lights. I grounded the lights to the nearest frame bolt........pics to come

 

looks good

 

Thinking it's all good but would have just spent a bit more for a Rugged Ridge base at $369.00 or so and worked from there. Not a fan of the brush bar set up. Othere than that, great job!
