Hey Everyone,
After reading a bunch of Build Threads and lurking and researching for months here; I figured I would start a Build Thread of my own.
I'd like to introduce everyone to The Scarlet Witch! My wife and I call her Wanda for short. We picked her up on October 15th of this year. And before everyone asks why the name; it comes from my Love of Marvel and the fact that I secretly have a crush on Elizabeth Olsen and her role as Wanda Maximoff. LOL
After tons of researching and YouTube videos, I've come up with where I want to take Wanda in her transformation. The Idea I have in mind for Wanda is Overland Jeep that can tackle most trails here on the East Coast as well as Trails at MOAB one day. My wife and I have discussed completing the Badge of Honor Trails as a bucket list as well. In the future I'd love to own something like the Patriot X1 Camper and be able to leave the East Coast and travel across the country for a few weeks at a time without issues with highways and still be able to hit MOAB and not worry about the Rig. Basically I want me to be the weakest link in the equation.
So with that in mind I've already purchased the following items and most have already arrived and are waiting to be installed.
EVO Manufacturing Double Throwdown Coilover Bypass Front
EVO Manufacturing Double Throwdown EVO Lever System w/ Coilvers and Bypass Rear
EVO Manufacturing High Clearance Long Control Arm Upgrade Kit
EVO Manufacturing Front Vented Inner Fenders, W/ Double Throwdown Suspension
EVO Manufacturing Skid Plate System
Poison Spyder Bombshell Dana 44 Diff Covers Black
MetalCloak Overland Fenders
KMC Wheels XD229 Machete Beadlock Satin Black Wheel 17x9 5X5
Nitto Trail Grappler 37x12.50R-17LT Tire
Magnaflow Off-Road Pro Cat-Back Exhaust
Banks Ram-Air Superiority Intake
Superchips Flashcal F5 Programmer
Baer 13.5" Front Pro Brake System Red Calipers
LOD Shorty Destroyer Rear Bumper w/Tire Carrier Black Powder Coated (With Options)
Maximus-3 Winch Kit and Stinger (Decided to keep the front bumper look like Rubitrux does.)
Warn Zeon 10-S Platinum Winch
ARB 12V Twin Compressor
sPOD 8 Circuit SE System (switch panel version) Red
JW Speaker 279 J Series LED Tail Light Kit
KC Hilites Rock Light Kit, 6 Lights 2 sets of Clear and 2 Sets of Red
Rigid Industries Ignite Backup Light Kit
Rigid Industries E2-Series 20" Hyperspot LED Light Bar
Rigid Industries D-SS Pro Flood Light
Rigid Industries R2-46 Driving Light
And miscellaneous items as well.
I've already found a shop, Chaos Fab Shop out of Winchester Virginia, that is going to do the Suspension and Gearing work for me. They are also going to be adding the following parts.
Yukon Ring & Pinion Set Front and Rear 5.13
Yukon Master Overhaul Kit w/ Timken Bearings Front and Rear
Tom Woods 1350 Driveshafts
Artec Industries JK Front Axle Armor Kit
Dynatrac HD Balljoints
RCV Ultimate Dana 44 CV Axle Set
Here are a few photos of what I've already installed and done to Wanda.
First I got the Garage Jeep Ready by adding an electric hoist to take the roof off by myself and door hangers.
Then installed a few items over the past few weeks.
I'm still waiting on the rest of the EVO Suspension; only the Long Arm Kit is here so far. EVO said it would take some time since I ordered it in Red. Also I'm waiting on the LOD Rear Bumper, Rigid Reverse Lights, and KC Rock Lights. Hopefully this weekend I'll get the MetalCloak fenders and exhaust installed.
Any and all advice is welcome here. I'd love to hear everyones advice on a Steering Upgrade. I know with the 37's I'm going to need it. I've already been looking into the PSC Big Bore Kit.
Thanks in advance.
