My Jeep (KAIJU) build is based on a Silver (Billet) 2011 Jeep Wrangler sport Unlimited (JKU). Bought brand new Stock. below is a list of what has been done to it so far. I have many more (J.E.E.P. “Just Empty Every Pocket) modifications planned as this is only a start tot he build. Most choices made so far we based on forum research, recommendations from friends (Jk owners) and members of local Jeep clubs. Building a JK is an evolution and some parts on this build may/will eventually be replaced with bigger badder shit!

UPDATE: I have been updating my Jeep, but not this blog as often as I wish (time). The above image is the latest and represents the build as it stands today (4-13-14), New is the EVO Rock Sliders from Off Road Evolution and welded on by James Adams at Adams Drive Shaft here in Henderson, NV. And this photo shows my latest upgrade/mod, cut fenders. My friend Scott came over and helped me do an amazing job cutting my fenders! They are perfect and straight and no need for extra door molding on the edges (as seen on other threads elsewhere), again thanks Scott for all your help! Now my 35’s look small… maybe some 37’s soon?!
This current build is quite nimble on the trail, has a decent amount of clearance, plenty of grip and looks bad ass! It also does really well on the highway (gas mileage only took a slight dip) as my daily driver.
Near future upgrades:
- Skid Plates (under armor) from ExtremeTerrain’s JK Section
- LED light(s) (front bumper or Truck light OEM replacement lamps)
