My 2016 Mojave Sand JKUR

[ReconH3]

I got this 2016 JKU Rubicon in the Mojave Sand. Not my first JK. I had an 09 JKUR when I was overseas. Now I'm back in NC. I got it on a great deal because I wasn't in a hurry to get one. Ran into a couple of other ones but there always something not right. This had only shy of 2000 miles and the price was a steal. It has the two tone leather interior. Guess previous owner had financial or psychological issues and had to give it up. My gain! This is not going to be an extreme build. I already have a Hummer H3 on Dana 60s and 40" tires I use for wheeling. This is going to be my daily driver with off-road capabilities. More like an overland build with top notch protection. I'm aiming at a 2"-3" lift with 35" tires on bead locks. I already set my credit card on fire! Stay tuned as parts come in and I start to build it up.

Very Nice! I wanted a Mojave Sand but could not find one with what I wanted so I waited for the Gobi color to come out. Subscribed cannot wait to see what you have in store. I put all of my parts I took off my 2012 on first. Now I am trying to decide what I want to do exactly with it lol. Lift it or wait. Here is a pic of mine

Installed the JWS led headlights as well as some led markers. I also have the JWS led fog lights but ran out of time to install them.

These came in the mail from Molle Platform Solutions and can't wait to get them on during the weekend.

Oh man, I am definitely looking forward to see how the MOLLE Platform panels work out.
I've been considering this box for when the hard top is on. Great use of space.

Gives a whole new meaning to...

That's what this is for.

 

[Outside somewhere]

Which trijicon is on the CZ?

If this turns out like your Hummer it will be sick AF. Was in a group of jeeps, etc that you were out with many moons ago at uwharrie.

It's an RMR-09 with a 1 MOA dot.

It's going to be much milder than the Hummer since it doesn't have Dana 60 axles. I'm aiming more for reliability and organization of gear.

Started installing the Molle panels. These things are so well thought out and built. These rear panels are awesome because they serve multiple purposes. The obvious ones are the Molle on the outside for pouches and the ability to use it as a container for loose objects. The not so obvious is that the forward brace also has Molle which allows you to add anything you wish that's accessible for the rear seat passengers.

The folding Molle shelf is by far the best thing this guy has designed. I have the same one on my Hummer and it rocks! I plan to add a removable trauma kit and other smaller amenities. I'll be installing the roof panels later today or tomorrow. Family duties are calling.
