Great buld!

I've been developing a plan to mod my 2014 JKUR and it's almost exactly like yours so I was very pleased to find your build thread today.

I have some questions for you so I'll PM you instead of doing it here. I won't ask you if you're happy with what you've done since people almost never say anything negative about what they're bought/installed.

Really nice build - glad to have found it. Please keep posting the pics.

Oh, why didn't you go with the LoD rear tire carrier that is attached to the rear door and swings with it?

I was surprised to see that the LoD front bumper doesn't match up to the width and fenders better - is that the full-width LoD front bumper?

Thanks, and honestly I am really happy with the products I choose, I did a 2012 JKU and the only things I different was, a Rubicon this time, Beadlock wheels, 37's instead of 35" and got rid of the overhead tuffy/CB console (dangerous incase of an accident and kept banging my head). The front bumper is a mid-width not the full, so its not going to match up to the fenders. With the rear bumper swing arm you have more options (can add fuel tanks, trail rack, ect.) The other part I didn't like about the linked option was the door is fairly difficult to open when attached. I have seen it one two different jeep and both had the same problem... not sure if its normal.

Awesome contribution, thanks!

Rubiwho, I'd like to also thank you for putting this together. I am doing many of the same mods on my 14 JKUR (when it gets here, that is!), many of which are identical parts! Thanks for sharing so that others can see what the updates will look like.

Much obliged.
