2003 Jeep Wrangler TJ Rubicon 4WD 2dr 4x4

Went to wash my truck and saw an unmolested Rubicon at the dealership and started to haggle and dream about the build. My first purchase was the Fish bone sliders through Facebook marketplace and installed them in my driveway. I then purchased the Rubicon Express lift kit and installed it at my Dad's shop on a two post lift with the help of my brother. I traded my stock Moab rims with Goodyear tires for a set of 33" Pro Comp Extreme MT2's. After running them for a while I decided to go to the Same tires in 35" set of five. XRC Front and rear bumpers were added along with the lights. Gun storage was a must along with tool storage so the rear seat was ditched for a Smittybilt tool box loaded with goodies. I installed a winch and mounted a hi lift jack inside of the Jeep on the roll bars. CB and a terra flex antenna mount. Fire extinguisher, first aid and recovery gear. The build will continue because I keep pushing the limits of the Jeep. Trying to keep it street legal for the time being
