Napalm's NEW 2014 Jeep JKU Sport Picture diary/Build thread!

[KalebD]

Looking great Napalm! I just bought the same wheels and tires. I need to pick them up from the shipping company but don't know if I need a larger vehicle to get them home. I was hoping I could get 4 in the back and hang the 5th one on the tire carrier. Do you think I'll be able to get 4 of them in the back of the jeep?

I would think so! I fit three 55 gal barrels in my jeep yesterday

It's gonna be a tight squeeze. I could barely fit all 5 rubi wheels and tires in mine...

But worth a try! You'll love em.

After being in my wife's car for a week in Florida, I decided to run the Jeep out and get a much needed oil change.


Also needed : a factory fender chop...

Welcome home! I was wondering how long until you chopped the fenders. Can't wait to see it!

Hopefully sooner rather than later. My nerves are getting to me.... But I HATE these full fenders and have for awhile.

 

[USMC Wrangler]

I hear ya. I've wanted to chop because it looks good to me, but I'm stuck on 33's for a while. I worry that my tires would look even smaller. I think yours would look great and if I remember right, Trail Jeeps said something about flat fenders being necessary with 35's and the Evo leveling kit.

 

[Napalm]

Things are fixing to be happening..!

 

[Napalm]

Onyx's fenders went to the Texas weight loss clinic and lost a couple inches

Great job on the fenders! I may get that brave one fine day.

Thank you! And I couldn't have done it without a great friend of mine. He had never cut a set of Jk fenders before but did a great job on mine!

Looks great! At the parts store for side markers?

 

[Brent McCartney]

Looks awesome.

Actually for door moldings and some sand paper! Haven't decided what to do for side markers yet.

 

[USMC Wrangler]

Ah, makes sense

 

[Napalm]

Cleaned up and got the trim on the fenders, and then put everything back on.





Having some trouble with my Rubi Rails.. They aren't wanting to cut.. And not sure if any other cheap rock slider solution. Any suggestions?

I just used a 4 inch grinder with a cutting blade to trim my rock rails. Took longer to take the rails off than to cut them.
