Thought I’d post a couple of pics of my 2007 JK, which came home 12 years ago this week. Anyone else have some before-and-after shots to share?

Thanks! Hope to keep the red red and the glass in for many years to come; anything else can be touched up with a rattle can or Line-X.

I'll be your huckleberry:
Just drove it home:
About a year later when I lifted it, added 35's, new wheels, etc.
After roof rack, tent snorkel and trail kitchen:

BTW, I thought this is a great thread idea. I know folks tend to have build threads but unfortunately I don't always have the patience to go through them; but to see a before and after is pretty cool.

Not a lot of difference in 3+ years. Just like everyone's else, a work in progress. I am on my 2nd set of sliders which are sitting unfinished in the garage. Also added some A pillar ditch lights that I don't have a very good pic of. You can just see the RTT in the background which can go on the roof rack if necessary, although I prefer the trailer.

this is a very long before and after and had a few evolutions in between. But when your rig doesn't have the room and wheelbase you require sometimes you just need to make your own .

Are you running wheel spacers with those wheels?

Yep, Spidertrax spacers for the last 130,000 miles without a problem.

A few more iterations, circa May '07, Sep ‘07, and Feb '08, showing the Jeep's LEGO-like versatility...

Nice, I will probably have to go that route.
