My 2012 Sahara Tan JKU Build

Thanks all.

I wish I had more to update... I did get the AEV front skid installed. It felt good to toss the plastic air dam I had trimmed to work with the bumper. And for the time between wheeling trips, I have some steps on to help ease access for my increasingly pregnant wife! But rest assured the Rubicon rails are ready to go on when needed.

But other than that, efforts to work on or really use the Jeep have been held back by the fun combination of 11 furlough days and prepping the house for the baby due at the end of August. The plus is I've gotten most of the stuff done on the Jeep I had planned. The minus is that the remaining items aren't cheap (AEV rear bumper, regearing) and I have no idea when I'll get to them.

All I can add for now are a couple of pics after the skid install and after ditching the hard top for the soft top for the summer...

Great looking JKU, and I love the color! I'm on the hunt for an M100 trailer too. Thanks for the inspiration and ideas.

Thanks everyone. I actually sold this last summer. I walked to work, and it was tough to justify the payment while it sat most of the time, while also using it as the primary family trip vehicle with a one year old. Ended up with a VW Touareg for the wife. We've bought a new house and I have a 6 mile commute, which is perfect for me to start hunting for an LJ. Fingers crossed I can find what I'm looking for ('05-'06 Rubicon with less than 80k) this spring!
