Caught the Bug
Thought I would start a mini build thread for my 2014 Rubicon Unlimited nicknamed Mauser. ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
When I bought the Jeep back in June of last year, I spent about 3 weeks installing the following:
Over the next 6-12 months, I hope to evolve the build to include:
So far, I have installed the EVO Rock Skins and hoping to have the sliders welded on in the coming weeks.
