Just picked up a Detonator Yellow 08 JK X Unlimited a couple of weeks ago, so here goes. I am already amazed at how well it drives- compared to all my other stuff. Already added a MyGig head unit, some Pro Comp wheels with 265/70/17 tires, cruise control, and I am looking into a leveling kit/lift kit. My JK came with a hard top, but I scored a new soft top on CL for $300.00! Oh- it has an auto trans, 3.73 gears and a rear trac-loc. Pretty basic. This Jeep will basically be a daily driver for me.
I have been into Jeeps for ever...I own a 70 Jeepster Commando, 231 V6, Th350, D300, D44 trac-loc rear and a disc brake D30 widetrack front. Plus lots of custom touches. Also a 90 Grand Waggy, mild lift, we call it the luxury liner. My current project in the shop is an 82 Scrambler- narrowed FSJ widetrack D44 front, FSJ AMC HD20 rear, both with Electrac lockers and 4.56 gears; RE 4.5 Extreme suspension, 36" swampers, TBI HP 350, NV3550, Rubicon OR241J transfer case, custom bumpers, custom interior, dash, cage, ect... Hope to have it running by winter. There's also a 53 Ford rat rod with a 350 chevy and lots of attitude.
My plans for the JK include building custom front and rear bumpers, rockers, and maybe tube fenders/flares. I weld and fabricate, I have a hydro tube bender and alot of good ideas.
I look forward to hanging out here!
