Well, I've decided to do a build thread on my 2013 JKR, as I am seemingly increasing the rate at which I am doing mods, and am getting a slew of questions regarding different aspects of my build in my inbox. It seems these build threads are extremely helpful to both get ideas for your own project as well as see some of the options out there, and will hopefully help a few people. As a little background, this is my first Jeep, purchased back late in 2012, and has not really undergone any major modifications until this August of 2013(Wish I would have started sooner). I am a complete novice to Off-Roading, and have only done it very mildly on personal land, but it is something I want to venture further into.
I'm going to try and summarize all the modifications that I have done up to the point of writing this thread, and hopefully provide more in depth looks at modifications done in the future. If there are any questions on any of the mods, feel free to post them in this thread or PM me, and I will do my best to answer them.
Starting Point/Basic Outline:
2013 Jeep Rubicon
6-Speed Manual Transmission with 4.10s
Cloth Seats
Hard Top
