RaccøønJK - Jeep Wrangler JK 2DR 2015 - The Story, Build & Brainstorm Project
Hi everyone! My name's Ben, I'm from Québec, Canada & here's my Jeep Wrangler JK Sport 2015. I bought it brand new a year ago and already put almost 50 000km on it.
So far, I "built" it as we went on our many trips together, learning along the way mecanic, body work, possible upgrades and kits that are available for the JK (let's be honest, it's an awesome plateform to build around, a grown man (expensive) Lego block & the Honda Civic of 4X4, aftermaket parts wise).
I've invested overall around 5K (CAD $) in this JK, equipment & part wise since I originaly bought it.
Here it is in all of his (stock) glory the day I test drived it and brought it home with me![Upside-down face :upside_down: 🙃](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.5/png/unicode/64/1f643.png)
And just like that I fullfiled my life long dream to own one of these bad boys.
Ever since I drove my friends JK on a cloudless hot summer day and I quote "The day I felt in love... My very first ride was topless, doorless on a nice summer day w/ my buddy's Jeep he let me borrowed. And I also got my first Jeep Wave! One of many - Man, how fucking awesome is it to be a JK owner. "
A little baby flex [emoji90]
And from there we equipped the JK along the way.
Started with a Smittybilt XRC Front & Rear stubby bumper, a winch (Smittybilt X20 12,500lbs synthetic rope, light bar (that I sold back #MallRated), LED fog lights...
And then all season tires with snowpeak because it's mandatory in Quebec during the winter time. I got 33x12.5R15 General Tire Grabber AT2 mounted on 15x8 steelies Pro Comp Rock Crawler.
Still don't have lifted it but I'm still shopping for the appropriate kit for my on & off-road use as the JK is my daily & trail rig. And let me tell you I like to take it off-road and beat the crap out of it!!!
Pics or it didn't happened... So here!
And here is our latest team picture
So here it is for now, a "quick" intro on our origin story - to come, brainstorms, questions & lots of advice & opinions from you guys here on the Wayalife forum.
I'd like to say, last but not least, that I've been watching Eddie & the others Wayalife members & friends video over on their YouTube channel for a while now and I just wanted to say that you guys are doing a great job out there, on the trails & in the video room in order to give all of us 4X4 and Jeep enthusiasts a run for our money, trips & dreams to look forward to as well as tips & advice while out on the trails.
