Stock 2008 JK Sahara Unlimited. Only mods(if you can call it that) so far is the shorty antenna, mats, decal removal, MJ.com stickers. The red Pic is one I boosted from Google and is a good representation of where I want to go with it. As far as time frame....who knows? Slowly but surely is the way to go I think. First Mods will be 2.5''-3'' lift and JKS Quicker Discos. Carpets will also be removed and tub Linex'd. After that 33x12.5 and maybe an Auto Locker. Bumpers, Rock Doors and sliders later as budget permits. Wish me luck!

Hey VWJarhead,

I lost one of my linch pins to my quicker discos the first time I wheeled with em. Don't know how in the heck I lost it, but it was gone. Just so you know....they are easy to find in hardware stores, and they are less than 2 bucks up here. Just thought it would be a good tip for you to pick up a spare set...just in case!

Good wheelin'

The pins are a dime a dozen. I'm actually giving you 6 spares that I got from Home Depot, they are exactly the same FOKKER!!!!!:D
And those 2 were replaced. Keep spares, necessary evil I guess.

Looks like you guys had a good time and it was family friendly. Great combo!!
Yeah those 35''s would look great on my rig if only I didn't have 3.73 gears or the money to swap out. I guess I'll stay with 33''s for now.

Skip the doors.

I got the tube type doors for my rubicon because the wife woudnt ride in it without them. Yeah, all it took was 2 rides with the tube doors and she was like....wth? Do we really need these? I ended up selling them for about half what I paid for them. Waste of money for me.
