This Jeep is headed for the Tropics
|
|
On this build we were given two parts to work with; a stock Jeep JK 2dr and the beaches of Nicaragua. Although they work together somewhat in thier basic forms, the need for a Jeep that could do more than just beaches and look good doing it was needed.
|
|
| First we will install a Rubicon Express 4.5" longarm with Bilstein shocks. Then the whole Jeep gets a new color, Viper Blue.
|
|
|
| The suspension is one of the best upgrades out there. It not only increases the handling capabilities on-road but turns the JK into an off road machine that is a pleasure to drive. The suspension will last for years and all the components are completely rebuildable.

 |
| Looks a little silly right now but Arnold was once a scrawny kid too |
|
|
|
Now were getting ready for something blue
(careful these photos can be shocking)
|
 |
| Just a few parts that piled up |
|
|
 |
| Stripped and ready for paint |
|
|
 |
| Here comes the blue |
|
|
 |
| A peak at things to come |
|
|
|
|
| This is a nice tire and wheel combo
35" Procomp Extreme AT
and some XD Addict wheels
|
The Jeep was getting a totally new color
and the Dodge Viper blue made
this Jeep absolutely beautiful.
|
|
|
| Now we add the front and rear bumpers,
winch and lights.
The front and rear bumpers are Rugged Ridge bumpers,
Standard ends, overridder bar and new M8000 Warn Winch finish out the front while a tire carrier makes the back.
|
|
Looking good with the XD Addict wheels, Procomp 35" ATs and some 7" HID lights mounted on the bumper and windshield to light up the beach at night.
|
|
| Here we add a little extra lockable
storage. This is something every Jeep
can benefit from and Tuffy makes
a great under seat storage box.
|
|
We will be installing a Tuffy security console in another Jeep soon so look for pictures of yet another great Tuffy product.
