Looking good man! Can't wait to see this one continue!
You have a trend of running Moabs on Jeeps don't you? lol
-
Have alot more to post on this- including my "blacked out" phase. I love moabs, they're probably the nicest rim manufactured by jeep. I'm currently working on getting a set of black ops moabs for my WK, as I got tired of dipping my moabs on my WK- more to come on that.

Lookin good! I like seeing different phases that guys go through with their vehicles... its like watching the mod addiction evolve like a disease lol

the 1.5" RC spacers gave me a hell of a stance and improved the overall handling but the rubbing started bothering me. so i swapped on some ebay 1" spacers and sold the 1.5" spacers.

with the 1/4" spacer

with the 1" spacer

drove it to the beach with the spacers, loved the ride and stance even better with the 255s and the 1" spacers. the rubbing was minimal to say the least.

Oh and i was running my AFE intake around this time as well. I went back to my stock airbox after awhile, i gained some low end torque but lost some MPG at the same time.

so its been awhile but in the last year or so of ownership she has gone through some transformations.... starting with the failure of a wheel spacer. coming around a right hand turn, my rear spacer failed causing the tire to buckle in at the top taking out my bilstein.
https://theultimatejeep.com/images/i...1a7fc4b1-1.jpg
needsless to say i didnt spend the money to buy new ones and bought some used XK rear shocks. since that incident my rear has not been the same. looking to tear it apart here shortly to get it right. approximately a month later i lost a silent armor to a blade in my driveway. it hit the sidewall just right, where it was unpatchable. so i ended up selling the entire set and swapping in a set of JK Sahara rims.

also in the past year i ditched my 6K HID lows/fogs in favor for some philip xtreme power lows and nokya yellow fogs. i was pleased with this for awhile but with the next round of mods ill be ditching them. heres a comparison of the two set ups. i found that the HID kit i had was starting to become more and more unreliable. at one point i was running my fogs instead of my lows regularly because my lows blew a ballast and a bulb blew/cracked as well so it would flicker and then not work at all. needless to say i wanted something more reliable so i went back to halogen.

that should bring us up to speed and current.. next round of mods and parts are already rolling in. so far i have ordered/recieved the following:
- NEW bilstein 4600s front/rear (no sense waiting months for the 5100s)
- JBA strut spacer
- Matts 1/2" rear spacer
- XK Hemi front/rear coils
- Moog strut mounts
- Moog isolators front/rear
- 4300k HIDS
- Putco jet yellow fogs
- 5 powdercoated black JK Moabs with TPMS
- rear sound deadening material
- Bendix front/rear brakes
- front wheel speed sensors
- full LED swap for my HVAC/lower and upper strip and radio (let me know if you want the contact info for this)
- trim dye for my OEM trim
thats it for now... OEM+ is in full effect. after the suspension is done, some 245/75 destination ATs will be wrapping the moabs and she will be good to go for daddy duty come July.
