[QUOTE="Qaddiction, post: 446735, member: 18430"] I added another rig to the stable! I'm just about done working on Detonator, my 2016 JKU. I only have a couple more things that I would like to do. I plan on using that rig more for overlanding. To keep myself busy I decided to start working on a second JKU that is to be more of a trail rig. I started a search to find just about the cheapest JKU within 100 miles. Wow, that wasn't the easiest task as they hold their value fairly well. I ended up buying this Black 2013 Oscar Mike JKU. The Jeep was actually in better condition that I was planning on acquiring. I actually bought this a while back and have been saving like crazy to start building this up. I committed to making new axles as my first purchase. I'm getting close to making that happen. So far I am looking at Currie, Dynatrac, and Fusion. For my purposes I believe I can get away with heavy duty Dana 60's. As you all know, it's bad enough trying to save up enough to afford axles, but then wheels, tires, lift, and drive shafts add another 10-15k. I have some thoughts on those, but I'm still doing some research. I'm set on 40's and fairly certain of a long arm lift. Here are a few pictures of my current rigs and the newest addition. I can't wait to start building.
