So, since I don't have a single condensed build page, I figured I would start one. Bought our 2008 X new, for my wife as her daily driver. It was as strip down as you can get, except air conditioning(seriously, manual locks, windows, vinyl seats, 225 tires on steel wheels, and 3.21 gears)
Starting Point(not my pic, but exact way it came):
Next step was new wheels, 265 tires, Ultra Nomad Wheels, and a front bumper.
Then I took my wife wheeling for the first time and she was hooked.
Next step was a RK 2.5" Max travel kit, rocker guards, evap relo.
Then I made custom front and rear bumpers, 35's, and NEW Rubi crate axles
The wife working on it... it is her Jeep
Electrical mods done. New painless fuse box and relays with custom made switch panel.
Custom half doors
Custom Hood
