Bought the '13 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport S back in September of last year. Just finish a couple things today and figured I would share what I have done to it since then.

Wheels/Suspension:  
1.5" Texaflex performance leveling springs  
Set of 5 17" Rugged Ridge rims and 285 goodyear wrangler duratracs  
painted center caps and black lugs

Lighting:  
trucklite phase 7 headlights  
52" LED 100x3W LED lightbar  
35W DDM 3000k HID fogs

Interior/Stereo/appearance:  
all speakers replaced with kicker 6.5"s  
8" mtx basstube  
interior LEDs  
jeep grab handles  
plenty of plastidip painting (headlight bucket, grill, badges, etc)  
doorless mirrors  
mopar gas cap  
cb shorty antenna

Probably plenty more that I forgot. Shorty front bumper and a set of rubi shocks will be done shortly.

Super common alot of the off-road guys are switching. LED the way of the future.

I like it… but pics in the woods, trails, rocks, mud (not in a park) would make it better 😛

so do you still have the V? is this your daily while the V is a toy?

Nice jeep man, Just picked up 2 - 9led pods and holy shit are they bright. They are 30% spots and are brighter and spread farther than my HID’s. LEDs are def the way of the future as far as trail lights.

Nice looking jeep :tup:  
A lot of the raptor guys are doing the roof mount LED bars, amount of output is amazing. I just ordered a 20" led bar for my lower bumper slot, just have to pull the plate off first.

Not mine, but another example of roof mount.

Still have the V. Jeep was getting winter and daily duty, but in the summer the jeep has the doors and roof off 60% of the time so the V has been getting daily duty.

I will probably bring this in August but usually my calendar is packed. I appreciate the offer.  
I was at the sand dunes last summer (~3 hrs from Detroit) and decided I wanted a jeep, so that is my goal for the summer.

Edit: added cowl “body armor” since they get dented when you remove the door straps and they swing out

Really? I must have missed it… or forgot that I once noticed it, lol.
