I will start by saying I mostly use my truck for trail riding and overlanding, backcountry hunting, fly fishing, and camping. I live in western Colorado and see all types of weather and I put a lot of miles on my jeep as a daily driver so keeping things moderately tame and highway friendly are important.

The rig is a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport (JKU). I am the second owner and it was driven very little most of its life. I work for a living so keeping this thing within a decent budget is a must.

Mods I have done so far over the years:

2.5" Teraflex suspension lift w/ Fox 2.0 Perfomance Resevoir Shocks
1" Tereflex leveling kit / coil spacers
Dv8 Heat Dispersion Hood
Rough country roof rack
Rough country rooftop tent
Springtail systems 100% seat delete
Rear drawer system with fridge slide and upper shelf
Setpower Fridge / Freezer
Ecoflow Delta 2 Battery w/ 160 watts solar
Barricade Front bumper and rear bumpers and skid plates w/ 10k Xbull wireless winch
Radioddity DB20-G GMRS Mobile radio
Starlink Mini ROAM
Smittybilt side steps x4
6' Awning
Riversmith 2 banger fly rod rack
Running boards
35" Goodyear Territory MT on steel wheels
10" aftermaket stereo
Molle Seatback storage panels
Bulletpoint Ram mount system for phone / gopro ect.
RPM and RSO upgraded complete front end / steering kit
Rough Country steering stabalizer
Rough Country Ball joints
KC Hilites Universale light bar with Auxbeam P4 90 watt light pods x 8
Ditch and Dust lighting

Probably lots more I am forgetting!

Just wanted a place to share and document my build. I have a few things ordered and in the works and am currently working on the seat delete and rear storage setup.

Did the kicker speaker upgrade kit this weekend. The sound quality is night and day over stock.

Foggy morning in the ragged mtn area.

Got my membership order yesterday and couldnt be happier. Put the badge on my Jeep next to the others. Looks great, Could have been a little straighter guess its time for some glasses!

Fox shocks are on and everything is riding great. Looking forward to spring in the mountains.
