I must say, your jeep is one of my favorites on this forum, really sweet! Did you get rear bumpstops due to too much spring compression or cause of the bigger tires rubbing? Did you do front bumpstops too? Forgive me if you already stated this in another post.

Wow! That means a lot! Thanks so much! [emoji2] I got the rear bumpstops due to my tires rubbing horribly in the fenders at full flex. I have the stock front bumpstops and as of now won't be needing new ones. I tested them out all day yesterday and had 0 rubbing issues after trimming the sliders and adding the 2" rears!

I really like the 2 door builds. I have a 2 door myself. So much fun. Love the Willy's model. If I didn't get such a great deal on my new rubicon I would of gotten a Willy's wheeler. Yours looks really nice. Great job. .

Two doors are definitely a dying breed. I myself would like to have a four door at some point! Just looked through your build! Really nice job on yours [emoji106]🏽

After having the trektop nx for awhile, what are your thoughts. Do you get a lot of flapping at highway speeds? Can you flip it up just over the front seats?
Thanks for your feedback.

I like your rig! I have been eyeing those Willys wheels. I have some new Rubi ones and considering those. The black wheels just makes it pop.

Honestly I love the top. Easy and quick removal. Putting it back on is just as easy if it's warm out. I have zero flapping at any speeds 0-90. I have done this a few times and it's awesome! No added noise etc. i am considering trading for a stock soft top just because I like going topless and the shade is too time consuming to take on/off nonstop. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Thanks! I wanted to go with some beadlocks, but honestly I'm happy with my Willys wheels for now.

On a side note, I started to photoshop some beadlocks on the Jeep. Hopefully can decide on some sooner than later. As I'm 19 years old, I'll be moving out of my mother's house in two weeks. This means the Jeep fund will be dwindling for a few months. [emoji30]

I feel you on the dwindling funds. Upgrades come hard on a college kid's budget.

I have more respect for a young adult like yourself moving out of their parents home at a young age then ones that stay...for years. You will have less funds but it will be worth it.

[emoji23] Well thank you! I've been saving ahead of time and it seems I won't be so far sunk as I first thought. However, the EVO enforcer lift will definitely have to be placed on the back burner for now.

That's okay though, I like it how it is. Just post up more pics of it in action! Or a glimpse of it with some flex:yup:
