My Perfect Balance Build

[JFarris]

This build has taken me 3 years to get just right. I'm still in the progress of adding a few things, and might change a few things, but the overall base is just right for my needs.

I live close to Fresno, CA. This is actually a good central location among all of what California has to offer, geographically speaking. Were ********** dab right in the middle.

Being that I love the desert, I originally went that direction. But, I'm only about 40 miles from the Dusy-Ersham, and many more trails in the Western Sierra's, which are far more feasible to make short weekend trips to.

So, I'll begin posting pictures and details of what I've done to my 2012 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon.

Well, I can't figure out how to post pics from my phone.....I'm having technical difficulties

I wanted a bumper that incorporated a 10" Rigid LED light. Since no one makes one, I contacted VKS Fab, a local fab guru, and had him custom build me one.

I also had VKS Fab build me a custom rear bumper/tire carrier that would accept the 10 gallon fuel caddy from AEV. I am really pleased with how this turned out.

I chose King Shocks/Bump Stops to go with my Metal Cloak 3.5 Game Changer Suspension. This combination has been working great for me.
