Default My Build any other suggestions..

So over the past few months I have been purchasing items for the jeep to make it mine. well I had a little bit of time and decided to add the items up just to see how much I put in to it. Yeah not really that great of an Idea but all I can say it was worth every penny I put into her. I still need a name for her my Sister came up with one "Frosty" because the front lift was put on and not the rear at the time due to waiting on a late order for a rear track bar (Thanks for the speedy delivery Dave@Northridge4x4)Yes he got it out pretty quick. but that day she went out to go to work the Jeep was all frosted over and she called it frosty. But enough of that. I do need to get the belly armor, I mean skid plates. working over here in Iraq on the Armored trucks you start calling things different names same thing kinda but two different purposes LOL. I am planning on going with the Treks just not happy Dave doesn't carry them or I would go through him. the other thing is Ligths I need some lights up front 4 on the bumper and 2 on the windshield. after the skid plates are purchased I will have surpassed the 10K mark. I have the 2door Sahara and it is lacking in space so one option I am considering is sdhould I go with a cargo rack or not??? Here are a few pics of the Jk. and wow didn't realize this was going to be so long. enjoy

Almost complete

Rear bumper

Before the Bumpers

When I read this forum I see a lot of things I like to have. Yesterday read about a battery drain while winching, today looking for a dual battery tray for under the hood.

Very nice set-up for Frosty.

My wife named mine Junior. Her thinking is, she has to take care of him as well as ME

If you put on a roof rack, no more indoor parking. Mine squeezes under with 2" to spare. Good reason to go to 37"s.

Yes the Rails and skid plates will be comming soon. As of right now my Bike, tool boxes RC car and gear, and some other stuff are in the garage besides My sis smokes in there and I don't want the Jeep smelling of stale cigarettes if ya know what I mean. No she doesn't smoke in the house. But parking inside the garage Im not to worried untill I get my own house and then I will rehab the garage to where I can put a 10" lift and 44s under her and still clear the door with no prob not that I am going to do that because it isn't going to happen. I was looking at some recon LED lights and lenses and 99.00 for the set is a little to steep for me. When I know I can either make something or go somewhere else and get em cheaper I will. But thanx for ya'lls compliments and comments I am so anxious to see her in complete form. The last time I saw her she was stock and the only mod done to her was a locking gas cap due to vanishing gas Hmmmm wonder where that went???? maybe to fill up the juvenile delinquint local lawn mower team. I say that because they want to be paid first and then they do a crappy job and one of the neighboors caught a kid stealing his gas. kids nowadays. LOL. But anyways Its late here and Im headed off to bed to dream about all the nce things to come
