First post, and I read the whole thread. I had to laugh some as it seems like there’s a lot of worrying going on! Then I think of myself and if I had posted my Jeep buildup over the past 2.5 years, it would probably have came across the same. I have a similar build. I bought a stock 2015 JKUR in Tank in April of 16. I would have chosen Anvil if I could have because I love that color. Tank is pretty cool too though.
Anyway, I have the same lift, same tires and tire size. I went with ARB front and rear bumpers. Have bought a ton of other upgrades too. I decided on ordering the Gobi roof rack and placed my order on Oct 31. I have a long time to wait, especially since my Tepui Autana 3 RTT is delivering next week. It will be sitting for a while.
Anyway, cool Jeep and cool story. I wish I would have documented all the stuff I’ve done to mine like you have! I don’t keep track of the $$ spent because I don’t want to know lol.
Finally, I am also really excited about the Gladiator and see myself in one in a couple years. I have a 12 yo son who is getting my Jeep, so at least any money spent on it now while I wait for the Gladiator is going to his ride.
