Howdy everyone!

I picked up a 2014 JKU Sahara yesterday in Anvil and it is AWESOME. Loaded to the gills, leather seats, heated, power everything, just awesome. This is the first Jeep I have owned. I have driven my Grandpas 02 TJ with 8,000 miles every now and again on the ranch but its not the best on the road.

I had a 2004 Toyota 4Runner for several years now and I have to say it is very weird going from the runner to a Jeep. Its awesome, but weird. I have gotten used to how things work on Japanese cars that I think the way American cars do things are "Weird" but I'll just have to get used to it.

Super pleased with it so far. I am going to start small on mods because I want to understand how the Jeep drives first and get used to it.

Now, I already have a dead pedal ordered because that is driving me crazy but it should get here by Friday. :) Will probably order a stuby antenna and a pro-clip iPhone 6 mount. I used the pro-clip mount in the 4Runner and loved it.

Future modifications I want done:
-AEV front and rear bumpers
-Trucklite LED front headlights
-4.10 re-gear
-33-35" BFG AT KO2
-Rubicon wheels
-AEV heat reduction hood
-AEV Snorkel

More pictures coming soon.

Welcome and Congrats! Don't know if is normal but mine does the same thing.

Installed my set of Hothead headliners and really happy with them. I took off the front panels to install those and that made it a lot easier. I would have preferred to take the whole top off but it would take to much time and I don't have anyone else to help.

Got my Trucklite LED headlights today. They came a day early, super happy about that. :awesome:

I would be installing them tonight but 1. I don't have the wiring harness to connect them to the Jeep and 2. Its's raining ALL night tonight. Not the biggest fan of doing electrical work in the rain.

Captain Texas, great looking rig! Always liked the anvil color - I'm also live here in ATX. Just purchased a 2 door Sahara in Tank a few weeks ago - can't say enough good things about being a new JK owner.

Question - I hate the silver on the sahara bumpers, just wondering any tips of taking it off? Is it just a sticker or what?
