Well after almost 2 years without a jeep we decide to get back in one.
I wanted one with the newer motor and a 6 speed. Going be a bit of a learning curve with the clutch offroading but I have a few years of building before I go hardcore anyways.
So I found a 2015 sport with the 6 speed for a good price. No rubicon since I most likely will be going with some heavier duty axles down the road.
Overall the jeep with the newer motor is way better than my 07 auto!!

Came with the little 16 inch sport wheels so I grabbed some rubicon wheels of Craigslist for 800 bucks and some rubicon sliders for 100 bucks.

Ordered a PSC bumper and recon 10,5 winch. Ran the same winch on my old jeep and had go luck with it so I am trying it again. I am going to rewire it when I get home.

Next comes the protection, took off the stock evap skid and installed a Poision spyder customs skid.
Then full Evo skid system.

More protection.PSC rocker armor. Nothing like drilling into a new jeep to put in the dreaded nutserts!

While the side arm was out getting powder coated I installed a Tera flex leveling kit and cut my fenders so I could fit some 35 maxxis treapadors on spyderlocks.
Fenders and leveling kit...

Got my side armor back from powdercoat, installed wheels and bed lined rear inner fender.
Also cut 2 inches off Rubi rails for tire clearance.
Had to take it to the local mall to crawl some curbs and take pics....
