Just wanted to show off some pictures of my Wangler. It's a 2005 Wrangler TJ with roughly 70k miles at the time of posting this. It's been a West Coast vehicle it's entire life so there's no rust whatsoever on the underside. I purchased it for 19k from a local dealership where it was a trade in. It's been very, very well taken care of by myself and the previous owners.

Here is a list of mods I've completed so far:
  • Barricade Trail Force HD Front Bumper
  • Currie Currectlync
  • Currie Antirock
  • Currie 4" Springs
  • Currie Front Track Bar
  • Currie Rear Track Bar
  • Currie Adjustable Control Arms (w/ Double Adjustable Uppers)
  • Currie Bumpstops
  • Currie Rear Sway Bar Links
  • Fox Aluminum Body Shocks
  • JKS 1.25" Body Lift
  • M.O.R.E. Bombproof Engine Mounts (1" lift)
  • OME Steering Stabilizer
  • RCV Front Axles
  • Revolution 4340 Chromoly Rear Axles
  • Revolution 4.88 Gears
  • Tom Wood 1310 Double Cardan Driveshaft
  • Rugged Ridge Side Steps
  • VANCO 16” Big Brake Kit
  • Warn M8000-S Winch (Synthetic Rope)
  • TRE Safety Thimble II
  • TRE Hawse Fairlead
  • Rugged Ridge Winch Mounting Plate
  • Rugged Ridge LED Taillights
  • Truck-Lite LED Headlights
  • Weather Tech Digital Fit Floor Mats
  • Spiderweb Shade
  • 285/75r16 (33”) Goodyear Duratrac Tires
  • Uniden PRO520XL CB Radio
This is just a start, I've got plenty more mods to come!

These are some really nice picture that you have here. I will soon be buying a new Jeep that's kind of like this one. Thanks for posting.

Mine is a black 2006 LJ Rubicon. Mostly stock, about 80k miles.

Mostly stock... Heh. The only mod I've done is replacing the front and rear stock bumper caps with the mopar flat ones. Basically, it's the factory bumper with the goofy looking ends replaced with these flat covers for a stubby look.

Nice, I love the LJs. Once you get started on the mods it never ends, it's like a serious crack addiction!

I've dropped almost 10k in 3 months on mods alone.

No! I won't try it!

Really though, I love my LJ Rubicon just the way it is. I'd love a lift and all the good stuff but like you said, once you start you can't stop. I worry about the issues that show up once you lift it; having to spend more money because I spent money to lift it scares me. I'm pretty broke already!

I hear you. Part of me wishes I hadn't started down this path because now there is no end in sight!
 
Do you enjoy your LED Headlights?
What did you do for that and is the difference worth the price in your opinion?

The LED headlights is one of the best mods I've done for the price. They make a huge difference versus the stock headlights and it makes driving at night so much better because now the entire road is lit up.

About to add a 1.25" body lift, Brown Dog MML and engine brackets, and then it's time for the tummy tuck!
