Decided I would finally make a build thread. To start off, here are a couple of stock pics. first mods done (but not pics) are the sound bar fiberfill, and grill screen.

First real mod was the JW Speaker Evo 2s. AWESOME light output compared to stock. Plus, they just look FRIGGN' AWESOME!! Stuck the relay behind the battery to keep it out of the way.

After a long pause, finally made my next upgrade...new wheels. Loved the Willys stockers, but needed to go my own way...American Outlaw Hollywood 17x8.5 with -10 offset. Perfect 4.5" of backspacing. Stance now nice and wide.

Now that I had the wheels I wanted, had to make room for the rubber...intro the Teraflex 3" lift. Kit came with shocks, springs and Monster front trackbar. Added AEV Geo correction brackets and Northridge 4x4 bolt upgrade at the time of lift. Kit actually gave me 5" of lift initially...REALLY made the stock mts look small...

Couldn't roll for too long with those stock tires, so next came the 35" Goodyear MT/Rs. MUCH better look.




But they created yet another problem...

To take care of the soon to be doomed tire carrier...Poison Spyder Rockbrawler II rear bumper with tire carrier. Along with the bumper, went ahead and installed the Hi-Lift jack mount and Teraflex extended 3rd brake light harness (for now). Had it all powder coated texture black. Future install will be the backup lights for the bumper and Poison Spyder third brake light and license plate relocation kit. Had a fitment issue with the actual spare mount, will update pics when its fully resolved.







At the same time, installed a new Adams 1310 front drive shaft with solid joints...(no pics of install).

Just when I thought I would take an upgrade break, found a "too good to pass up" deal on a Poison Spyder Brawler Lite front bumper. Bought it off Craigslist and it came with the shackles and fog lights. Little sanding and primer on a few small rust spots followed by Rustoleum spray bedliner to match the rear.

Mods still on the list:

Winch (no idea what kind yet)
CB radio (sooner than later)
Hi-Lift jack (since I have the mount and all...)
Poison Spyder flat fenders (front and rear)
Poison Spyder Brawler Rockers
Adams rear 1350 drive shaft
Front and rear axle swap with 4.88 gears...(again, no idea which ones yet)
Teraflex long arm upgrade for current lift
Poison Spyder crusher corners with full LED light upgrade
Lots of under armor...

Any donations to the cause will be greatly appreciated...

Yes, that was supposed to say "name"...

Looking good man! I'm torn between that rear bumper carrier and the PS tailgate carrier for the Baja look. And you got the same bumper I want! So jealous, wish I could find a deal like that! Looking forward to seeing more mods!

if i was planning on running 40s, i would have gone that route too. with 35s thought they would have looked like toy wheels in that big ass cage...lol

We had fun, too! And it's always nice to have another set of hands for wrenching parties.
