About a year ago I bought a 2011 2dr cosmos blue JK. I started this build with intentions of trail riding with mild rock crawling. I live in south MS, so the nearest park isn't in my back door. I have plans to make a trip to rausch creek, Morris mountain, and a few other parks along the way however. She still has to a few things left before she's ready. Here's what I have so far.
-3in Teraflex lift kit with teraflex front track bar
-Bilstein Shocks
-JKS quicker disconnects
-35/12.5 Duratracs
-American Racing rims
-5.13 gears/ Yukon rear air locker
-ARB compressor
-Airade CAI/ Dynomax exhaust
-SPod
-Rigid Dualies
-Trucklite headlights
-Poison Spyder front/rear bumpers
-Poison Spyder Evap skid
-smittybilt rocker guards
-flat flares


The day I brought it home:

Few pics after the lift and tires:

Since the interior lighting is terrible at best, I'm putting LED light strips in the footwells and wiring them into my dome light. Hopefully have some pics up for you guys by this weekend.

Been awhile since I updated. I've added LED strips in the footwells as mentioned. Also added the newest smittybilt Gen2 winch and windshield light bar. Not much going on. Getting to the point of a stand still until the funds are there for long arms, beefier axles, larger tires and the works that go along.

A little update. Installed the aeroforce guage. Awesome to say the least. Only bad part is the guage face is metal and the housing is plastic. This makes it easy to crossthread. Aeroforce notifies you of this in the instructions so this is something they need to address. Also, getting ready to install new ball joints and c gussets.

Got an update for ya'll.
-added the tuffy console. It hangs low and I've hit my head a few times getting in. But I've modded it to account for my sPod. It seems to rattle to, something I need to address and stop
-welded in c gussets and installed new synergy ball joints. The joints have made a difference in the handling. Steering seems a lot tighter.

-added some extended braided brake lines on the front.
Gonna be added added a few more thing to the build list here soon including a roof rack, a cb, and hopefully a new tire carrier poison spyder is set to release in the next week or two. All this for a 4 day camping/wheeling trip in north Alabama and TN. Stay tuned and if ya'll have any questions, feel free to ask.
