Introduce yourself here!

Hey guys, Figured this would be a good place to start for new members joining the forum. Post your location, vehicle info, intentions, etc.

I'll start,

I'm Pete obviously. I have a 2013 commando JKUR named Sweat Pea or Pea Supe'd depending on how I'm feeling that day. Live in North Jersey. I'm not sure how far I am going with my jeep build. Glad to be part of this forum early on and want to see it grow into a useful tool for others when wrenching, upgrading, and deciding on changes for their vehicles.

Greetings people,

Frank here...have an 09 red JK Unlimited named Lola. She's pretty stock minus Rubicon tires and an intake. Few minor lighting mods but nothing to speak of. Looking to basically have fun with a build that will keep Lola as my daily driver. Check out Lola on the 1.5" RK Spring thread. Located in Bergen County NJ and excited to meet others

Well this thread was a bust. Did you ever order the jks quick disconnects?

It was a bust because there were no pictures.

PICTURES PEOPLE> PICTURES!!

I know this is an old post but I figured that I would do it anyway.
I have a few Jeeps, my favorite is my 10th Anniversary Edition Unlimited, Trek Armor seat covers, Banks CAI, Smittybilt Fenders, Body Cladding and front bumper, Warn 9500CTI, Superchips Trail Dash, 35" Nitto Mud Grapplers, 3.5" Metal Cloak Lift Upper and Lower Control Arms and rear Track Bar, Fox shocks, 6" LED back up light, 50" and 2 4" LED lights in front, I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things but this should be good for now.

A few more

My name is Keith. I live here in Norman, Oklahoma just 3 miles from THE University of Oklahoma (for those of you who watch football).

I have a 2007 JKU. Its life started out as a base X model up until about 2 years ago. I bought it used then and drove it stock for a about a year until I decided on how I wanted it to perform over stock. I went with a Teraflex 2.5" Budget Boost to lift her over her 35 Duratracs. Once I was ready to get more involved on the suspension, I went to Rock Krawler, who else. That wasn't a question.

Her life as of today:
Rock Krawler 2.5" Stock Mod (Slowly turning into the X-Factor)
Fox Shocks
Pro Comp 7069s on 35 Duratracs
Crown Performance Stainless Braided Brake Lines
Superchips Flashpaq
Snorkel
Poison Spyder BFH with Trail Stinger Front Bumper (cuts 2" of the front of the frame)
LoD Signature Series Sliders
Bestop Trektop NX
Various Lights and other DIY Mods (just search the forums)

Future plans include:
JCR Rear Bumper (will need to cut the rear crossmember off) I have to install this before installing the rear RK Control Arms.
EVO Tire Carrier with Rear Corners
Poison Spyder Flat Fenders (or ACE Engineering, they are redesigning theirs at the moment)
Poison Spyder Cage
Upgrade the front Dana 30 Axle to a Heavy Duty 44 with gears and lockers (may go 60, we will see)
I may push the RK Lift up to 3.5" since all I need is springs at this point. My shocks and brakelines are good to 3.5-4". So why not with 37s.

The Jeep as she sits this morning:

My current jeep is a 2014 JKUR 3.5 Metal Cloak,XCR front and rear bumpers with swing away tire carrier.XCR winch, Rigid LEDS. I am running 17" Pro Comp wheels and 35" KM2's. I have done all the work myself in my driveway,I have a lot more to do. This is NOT a mall crawler. This machine is used, abused, flexed and stretched a couple times a week. if you are ever coming through SW Wyoming and want to go play just hit me up.

Attachment 1386Attachment 1387Attachment 1388I like these. I'm Bob. A retired Performance engine builder. I have done automotive engine machining and assembly almost since I was 13. I bought my Jeep because I got sick and couldn't race my Nitrous motorcycle anymore. My wife and kids are very happy about that. It's my 3rd jeep. A 2013 JKUR I call the Bus. I've been spending money on reliability mostly. EVO D44 tubes and C gussets, RCV axles. Currie steering. Fox stabilizer, RK 3.5 lift with King Remote Res adjustable shocks. Full armor underneath, JE Reel 1350 driveshafts. 4.56 gears, 35" KM2's, ViAire 400 OBA, And an SPod. I like to rock crawl but also go fast. i think a jeep can do all that. it might not be the fastest but it can be fast enough to have fun

HEY BOB!

If you had to swap your engine.... what is your pick? I like the new 6.2 based on the corvette that they put in the new Sierra. what do you think?

I am Lenoard aka Jamie. I am an attorney in Illinois and have a 2013 JKU that is on the slow build mode 1.5" RK springs Rancho RS9000XL shocks and other small items.
And here is my Lobster

My buddy has a 595hp blown 6.2 in his JKUR It's a chevy crate engine out of the Cadillacs. The LS motors are awesome. When I worked at Scat Crankshafts we helped develop the LS crank for GM. Only thing I don't like is the powdered metal rods. I like a nice forged rod on my motors.
