Hey everyone,
I've been around for a while and finally feel like my Jeep is worthy of a mini thread with mods and thoughts about them. I traded in my 2012 Liberty (KK) in July 2014, after getting an interesting deal from a local Jeep dealer. Ended up with a 2014 JKU Rubicon in Anvil, with a couple of options but relatively simple.
The main goal for my Jeep is to take me anywhere I could want to go, including remote week-long trips to aggressive wheeling trips to a coast-to-coast road trip to a weekend of heavy duty farm work in the river country of NJ. I absolutely love the versatility and range of possibilities of JKUs (largely how I was convinced to trade in), and I've been putting together a setup that allows me to change up some mods to complement the trip/task at hand.
Blank slate! No scratches, no miles, no rust.
First wave of parts included a Bestop Trektop NX, tube doors (to make family feel better), doorless mirrors, and a Cobra CB radio. My priorities last summer (and travel plans) revolved around trips to the beach and light wheeling.
New top and minor goodies.
After some exploring in the GWNF (moved to VA for a short stint) I decided it was time for a winch. I didn't have the budget at the time and only heard good things about the Quadratec line of winches. Ended up with a Q9500i on a Rockhard 4x4 plate on the stock bumper. Still have this setup and love it!

also waiting on the delivery of an ACE Engineering rear bumper and tire carrier. I originally wanted to stay stock as possible, but clearly that has taken a turn!
