Hi I'm new here so I hope I'm doing this right, but I have a list of thing I have done. I have a 2.5" lift with 1.5" spacers and 265 70 17 Kendas that I have had siped (day and night difference in slick conditions) folded over all the pinch welds then made a small skid plate for ac hoses. cut both front and rear bumpers, Then cut about 5" out of the tow hitch and welded it up to add rear clearance. removed the spare tire. Got a Thule roof rack, put in 3x3 led fog lights in the factory fog light spot.. Cold air intake, magnaflo exhaust and muffler delete, with diy side exit behind the rear passenger tire. Avs wind deflectors, tinted tail lights, diy hi-lift and shovel rack mount, home made welded rock slider/side steps... Painted the wheels, the grill, all the badges and the stock skid plate gray. And then just a ton of maintenance things like rear pinion seal all fluids all belts and hoses, power steering pump, thermostat, ect.. Please ask for pictures for anything specific lol.

Glad to see some new garages!

Definitely need more pics and would love to see how you fabbed your side steps

[Roguecommander]

https://theultimatejeep.com/images/imported/2015/03/b6399ec182dd32ecf1c53426873d6ebb-1.jpg just got some 3/16" 2x3" square, cut the ends at the same angle as the body added a 1/2" strip across the top to bolt the the pinch weld and 3 strips that stick straight out that I welded to the frame. And added the tube (also 3/16") as a side step. They are heavy as hell but they are really nice to have. I can literally lift half the vehicle off the ground from them. And last summer in Moab they took quite The beating, and all I had to do was repaint them. Oh and the wife and kids love the step too.

Oh and I ordered a HID kit for my headlights, and a front bull bar too!.

[Roguecommander]

https://theultimatejeep.com/images/imported/2015/03/a17558a3ddfca549d547a1775831ac1a-1.jpg had to make up some custom brackets but I got my LEDs installed and now I cannot decide if I like the look of the Orange or white better. Any input?https://theultimatejeep.com/images/imported/2015/03/ba4d6d19a1103ae6d38c557cbcf2ccd1-1.jpghttps://theultimatejeep.com/images/imported/2015/03/4881b6a831a09e56b540b4dc08de5799-1.jpg

[Sal-XK]

I like the clear better myself. Hey check your inbox.

[Roguecommander]

Lol is that why your the only one responding? Ha! But I can't seem to figure out how to do it. Do you run this ultimate jeep forum?

I can do it for you I just wanted you to know before I did it so you weren't confused when you logged in. I moderate the forum and help keep it organized. Knapster (Jon) owns and runs the forum.

[Sal-XK]

I had to copy then rename then delete the original thread. The only thing that changed was the web address so if you posted links of your garage anywher you'll have to fix those.

[Roguecommander]

No links, thank you!

[Roguecommander]

https://theultimatejeep.com/images/imported/2015/03/09523058a9e2598465fa4c1fd8052378-1.jpg so I ran into Home Depot with nobody parked near me and came out to this.. Thought it was funny.

[Roguecommander]

You can't see it in the picture, but their is actually another wrangler parked in front of the silver one.

It's funny how Jeeps flock together.

[Matt]

One of those pictures that makes me love the XK that much more..... so many built wranglers running around, you can see a well built one and say "meh, saw one just like it a few spots down".... can't say that about your XK :cool:

[Roguecommander]

Jeep safari week anyone? I'll be down there the 16th through the end of this month!

[Knappster]

The clear lens look much better on the front than the orange ones in my opinion.

[Roguecommander]

Does anyone know how to override the stock DVD player so you can watch movies while you're in drive?

[Sal-XK]

I can't remember if the MyGig lock pick does or if that is the correct name its been awhile since that discussion has come up. But I think that was the name of the it.

[Roguecommander]

Thx man I'll check it out.

[Roguecommander]

Hey all does anyone know where the flasher relay is located?

[Roguecommander]

https://theultimatejeep.com/images/imported/2015/03/c4e6204da8fc97159eea1c747cde0d05-1.jpg took some better pics of the side exhaust while painting my front fenders.

https://theultimatejeep.com/images/imported/2015/03/337fbc49215b249de50dd0ca358d9f66-1.jpg. Neither are mine, I just thought it was funny after seeing your post the other day. No jeep is lonely for long

[Roguecommander]

Ha at Home Depot too of all places.

[Holiday Jones]

Yeah, that's my life LOL

[Roguecommander]

Home Depot basically built my commander lol. Speaking of has anyone tried to make some quick disconnect pins yet?

[Holiday Jones]

What mods has home depot had part in? Sounds interesting

[Roguecommander]

Lol a lot? My roof rack mounts for the hi-lift and shovel. Painting my fenders, front grill, emblems wheels and rock sliders. Cutting both my front and rear bumper. Making mounting brackets for my led fog lights. And that's just off my head. I'm sure if I went out and walked around it I would see more.

[Holiday Jones]

Yeah, I can't say much. I built my last roof rack out 3/4" and 1/2" EMT, self taps, loc-tite, primer and bedliner:All from the depot.lol Most of my time is spent there anyway buying material for work.:cool:

[Sal-XK]

I think a lot of us have home depot modes LOL It's what makes us Jeepers!

[Roguecommander]

Poised spider and long canyon trail in the bag! Now lunch then on to find and things!https://theultimatejeep.com/images/imported/2015/03/afc31115f76d3fd63be29cc1614d8892-1.jpg

So I got a set of rubicon wheels, a bug deflector, new ps pump, ac compressor and serp belt. Then did a carb clean kit... Ordered a 4xguard front skid plate, some HID headlights.

[Holiday Jones]

Do those ruby rims fit without spacers?

[Roguecommander]

Probably not I have 1.5" and they are close.

[Sal-XK]

sounds like you've been busy. It looks good and that's one clean engine bay!

[Roguecommander]

https://theultimatejeep.com/images/imported/2015/04/01390cf3a55c057876116169e070d5e7-1.jpg I used to detail cars and this stuff is super cheap and works great on your engine bay. Use about the whole can, let the foam go clear and wipe it off.

[Roguecommander]

https://theultimatejeep.com/images/imported/2015/05/60bfa7851964ca0514bc7633d713c1df-1.jpg took off my roof rack, so I can fit in car washes and just about every covered parking lot in the city! Lol.

[coophadley]

[Roguecommander]

Thx coophadley. It was awesome.

[pjmjr508]

Looking great

[Holiday Jones]

Hey rogue, can you send me more info on how your sliders attach? And where you got your material from, and how much the whole thing cost? I'm trying to decide whether to buy or have made
