Traded my 4 door Recon in on a Raptor awhile ago and was “Jeepless” for the first time in forever. With the truck being the family vehicle, I was able to start looking for a 2 door (just my preference) JL. Found this leftover ‘17 JK with the options I wanted (manual, nav, speakers) and got an incredible deal. Had them swap the hardtop with an ‘18 premium soft top too. I then took the $ I saved and built it the way I wanted. Only thing added since pictures were Rigid Side Shooters to the A-pillars and a Cobra WX ST with tunable Firestick. 💜 the way she turned out.... @fitmomof2whojeeps for those with Instagram....

Love (LOVE) the color... but actually I like the original silver rims over the black ones! Of course the size bump of the tires is great. If you had the silver rims on the bigger size tires it'd be perfect! Of course I"m always jealous of people with the xtreme purple! :p

I went back and forth on silver vs black wheels. Everyone has black now, but the argent or silver Pintlers, which I’ve always loved, just didn’t match the shocks, springs, or Rubicon decal the way I wanted. Didn’t really like other silver wheels outside of those. The new suspension upgrades I just did are silver so it balances out all the black better in my opinion.

Just finished up “phase 2” of the project.... upper and lower adjustable control arms (axles are where I want them now after lift), 1 ton tie rod, HD drag link, and front and rear adjustable track bars.

Not involving the suspension... added a Cobra 75 extra st with tuneable firestick on the Teraflex mount, Rigid side shooters on the A pillars, Odyssey 34R battery, and ARB twin compressor on a M.O.R.E. underwood mount.

Odyssey 34R...

Cobra mounted on grab bar mount with spacer....

Teraflex CB mount. Had to dremel powder coat for better ground under bolts then use NO-OX-ID.

Couple more of the ARB compressor and mount....

Since this thread came up first when I searched for Xtreme Purple, I'll add that the Mopar rattle-can touch-up paint seems to be a very good match. There were other threads where people said it's too dark or doesn't look quite right -- I suspect surface prep issues. This is one of about a zillion plastic wheel-trim bits I painted to match the truck. Looks exact to me.
