    Mild JK Build

    Because the JK is my daily driver I’ve added a few things to make it nicer and to protect the interior. The 11-18 JK’s did away with door pockets in favor of a mesh net thing...this doesn’t really work if you use your door pockets. I added Slickrock Gear’s JK pockets, really easy to install and...

    Mild JK Build

    About 10 months ago I added a throttle controller, there are many on the market some have good reviews some not so much. This one is from Extreme Terrain, it’s worked well for me in my application. The JK’s are drive by wire meaning unlike older Jeeps they don’t have a throttle cable. This leads...

    Mild JK Build

    I hated the factory transmission shifter in the JK, super sloppy and would constantly shake around when in gear. This is due to the design, as you can see in the first picture the center retaining bolt has a steel sleeve vulcanized to the shifter handle allowing a lot of movement and vibration...

    Mild JK Build

    Should have gave details in the first post, it’s a 2011 JK with the 3.8v6 6-speed manual. Currently has 35x12.5 BFG Km3’s. I plan to re-gear this year and add a selectable rear locker. Sent from my iPhone using Jeepz.com mobile app

    Mild JK Build

    Installed some aluminum inner fenders up front to get rid of my modified factory ones. Finally wired up my fender lights. I had wired the halo portion with my day time running lights. I also added a Pypes high clearance exhaust. This pretty much catches me up with my two year ownership so...

    Mild JK Build

    Back in August at Southington off-road park I bent my factory tie-rod so I upgraded to a Cavfab bolt on one ton tie-rod and drag link... While I was messing around in the front end I added a Steersmarts Yeti track bar, a raptor off-road swaybar, and changes my leveling kit and JKU springs...

    Mild JK Build

    This May I had a deer run into my fender and dent it badly. At the same time you could get the Smittybilt XRC Gen2 fenders for $300...so I did. Sent from my iPhone using Jeepz.com mobile app

    Mild JK Build

    Didn’t take pictures when I did it or don’t have them my current phone but I scored a rusty Rockslide Engineering rear bumper and tire carrier from Craigslist, I stripped the powder coat and shortened and capped the bumper so it was closer in length to the front bumper. Then I spraylined it, it...

    Mild JK Build

    Just thought I post my mild build up of my daily driver JK. This is about a month into owning it, I couldn’t stand the plastic bumper so I upgraded to an amazon winch bumper and I had installed the tires and wheels from my wife’s JKU. This is about 6 months in, I had installed a leveling kit...

    The Cheap Wrangler Build...

    I know, I had already changed the TPS and cleaned the throttle body. Maybe dead spot was the wrong phrasing. They are refurbished injectors from eBay. Sent from my iPhone using Jeepz.com mobile app

    The Cheap Wrangler Build...

    The TJ hasn’t been getting much love lately...been too busy working on everyone’s Jeeps but mine (and working on my JK lol). I did however replace the fuel pump and add 4 hole fuel injectors. It was an awesome upgrade in all respects, idles and runs much smoother, better throttle response and in...

    The Cheap Wrangler Build...

    The mirrior movers are good overall, there are different styles of movers (some styles you take the mirrior apart to fit in the mover). They don’t affect removing the door as they’re clear of the path of lifting it out. With the door on (or if you have half doors with the upper on) you lose a...

    The Cheap Wrangler Build...

    Added my new mirriors, and mirrior mover brackets to the TJ. Just still fitting stuff up that I know I’ll have to remove prior to the frame swap and paint, but it keeps me motivated. Sent from my iPhone using Jeepz.com mobile app

    A mild Renegade build

    I believe he found the lift on eBay, the guy he bought it from had it but hadn’t installed it and his Renegade got totaled. Sent from my iPhone using Jeepz.com mobile app
