So I convince my wife that I NEED a 2013 JKU Sport. After much convincing, and justification for adding a 5th Jeep to the flock, she gave in and said "AS long as you don't spend any money on it!" :cheesy:

Here she is the day I brought her home last October...



And I firgured she wouldn't notice a 1.75" budget boost, wheels and tires...

Before...



And after...




And so it began...HAD to add front bumper, winch, lights...went with the XRC bumper and winch, 10" Rigid bar and Classic Warns wied to my fogs..



My own brand of synthetic winchline from my old shop...(now called Viking winchline!)

Next up was the rear ARB bumper...



And I needed to go with OME 2.5" springs and RE quick discos...



And Bilstiens...



It really snowballed...

Honestly, it doesn't get off road too often...she's my daily and I have a '68 Jeepster that gets most of the trail duty...for now!

Relocated my license plate...ran the wiring SUPER clean and tight all the way to the RR taillight...and attached the brake light to the wrong wire. Now the third brake LEDs blink when my right turn signal is on! :doh::doh::doh:

Oh well...at least it's only a 5 minute fix.



So nice of Mopar to provide a part that is actually cheap and effective!
