    Default 2012 JKUR Overland build in progress

    Been working on the JKURO for a few months now and decided to put pics up of the build so far.

    -Gobi Recon Stealth rack
    -River Raider limb risers (modded with longer cables and quick detach stainless shakles)
    -Drake hood latches
    -ARB 2000mm awning and Gobi awning brackets
    -Rugged Ridge XHD modular front bumper (lockable storage container caps)
    -Warn M8000-s winch
    -Large first aid kit and 5# fire extinguisher
    -Smittybuilt MOLLE tailgate










    Yet to buy:
    -Long Ranger aux fuel tank
    -Rugged Ridge modular snorkel (not in production yet)
    -Rugged Ridge XHD Alum. rear bumper pods & tire carrier
    -ARB diff covers
    -Underside armor (haven't pinned down from who yet)
    -AEV 2.5" dual sport lift
    -285/75/17 or 255/80/17 KM2s
    -ARB/Engel fridge
    -Spod
    -Gobi High-lift/shovel& Axe brackets
    -LED rack flood lights
    -Maxtrax (trying to find them in tan)
    -PV setup (already have 80 Watt PV-SC080J12 panel, need moringstar SS-10L charge controller, Rolls Surrette 12V S12-95AGMbattery, and 150 Watt inverter)
    -Mopar winter steel wheels
    -M416 Trailer
    -Additional recovery gear (snatch block, tree saver, anchor...)


    Comments, suggestions, observations welcome.

    Looks great!

    I've got a 12 JKU Sport (White) with the Gobi Stealth - the ARB Awning seems to mount really cleanly, how was the install? The XHD bumper looks awesome too (I've just ordered an M8000) - was there any drilling required or anything?

    Have got the AEV 2.5" lift sitting in the living room... Can't wait to get that installed

    ARB mounting took 10 minutes. Install the mounts on the awning then bolt it to the rack. Tim from expeditionhardware hooked me up with the brackets.

    Only drilling for the XHD was a small hole to relocate the vacuum pump. You also have to cut part of the vacuum pump bracket off for the bumper to fit. This will be the case for any bumper install on a 2012 because of where they have the pump located afaik.
    I would have liked to have gotten the alum. XHD but they only currently offer it with the stubby ends and I wanted the storage space.

    The storage units are awesome and are the reason I bought it. With the limited space in the JKURO I need everything I can get and the end caps are a good use of wasted space. I think the total weight of the steel bumper with hoop and caps is around 100 lbs.

    I've been evaluating bumpers and that one may have just gone to the top of the list. The end cap design is brillant!
