    Default 1leg's 2007 Jeep JK 2dr build and gear list

    I decided to create a whole new build and gear list tread for my 2007 Jeep JK.

    What it looked like after driving it home from the Jeep dealer.

    awesome man! No need for a lift right away. I still am rocking my 4 door stock height, stock tires. I put a lift and 35's on my 2 door and it was great and all except I got about 11 mpg in the city, 15 on the highway with the stock 4.10 gears.

    Did you notice the lift in the last pic. It was free from Gear(Justin). Terra flex BB 2.5 with Rubicon Unlimited springs + about 3 inches of lift.

    Looking good Jerry, hope we can wheel again together soon! How are you liking that Recon bag? I saw them EVERYWHERE when I was in New York a couple weeks back and I think I was subliminally convinced to buy one.

    Hi Jerry. Okay, now seeing the pics, I was not dreaming when I saw your rig at the Electric drags. I was thinking it was taller and you had bigger tires but I had not recalled seeing anything posted on ExPo about it. It sure looks good.

    Hope to get out wheeling with you one of these days.

    Thanks This thread is a work in progress, My plan is to do a write up for each item.

    Miss R2FJ, So far I really like the bag. I use it daily and it is holding up very well. I used it to carry everything I need for a 3 day trip to Catalina a few months back. My plan is to Buy a smaller bag for daily use and turn this into a bug-out-bag. I still have a few more item to buy for it.
