JeepNCrowd's Overland/Rescue Build

[jeepncrowd]

Hey y'all.
Here is my current plan with guestimated prices (they will fluctuate with time/sales). After actually putting my plan on paper I've released how pricey it'll be. Fortunately I have years to build it. I plan on building in stages (the order within the stages may vary), but hope to have a new stage completed every couple of years. Of course this is subject to change. But I am anxious to get my new JT and start on the build and adventures.

You’re adding a ton of weight. I’d never, ever try running 40s on the stock axles with a super heavy Jeep personally. Trussed or not. I’d consider getting an overland for the creature comforts and getting a set of 1 Tom axles if I were you

I might swap axels at the time. Or just wait until in grenades and swap for 60's

The only problem with waiting till they explode is how far will you be fromt civilization when it happens?

at that point it'll probably be at an off road park.

Stage 4 is really theoretical besides the six pack shocks and inner fenders. It really depends where my interests are in about 6-10 years when I get to that point.

Just purchased the Rock Slide Engineering step sliders with the skid plate for $280 off using 10% off code at Morris 4x4 center for their Labor Day sale.
Now just need Jeep to release the Gator color so I can order. Hurry up Jeep!

Not a full QRF, but I usually have some firepower on me.
Oddly enough on my last Jeep, I blew my steering out (2 out of 5 times) and somehow gashed my sidewall out (2 out of 4) in parking lots (Albeit not to long after the trail).

Well I mean this is a typical Texas mall parking lot. I think my JT will fit in just fine.

Update.
I have the 37"s cooper STT pros on, the Rock slide Engineering sliders, the builtrights bed system, and my CB installed. Awaiting my American Adventure Labs High line fenders (to ckear the 37"s off road) to be delivered, and my Preordered Metalcloak Ganechager should be shipping mid January along with the back ordered Arcus front bumper. I'll be buying the RCV axles some time later this month.
I've got a class at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Feb and i plan on Driving up and back. San Antonio, Tx to Dayton, Oh. I'll be passing Hot Springs ORV park, Redbird State Recreational Area, and Southern Missouri Off-Road Ranch on the way there and back. So I need to get my Jeep ready for this trip.
I have a course in either Oakridge, TN or Aspen, Co this summer (which will involve some extra curricular off road activities).
A lot to get ready for!
