A great Start to any JK build:

This 2014 JK came through our Silverdale shop for a build a few years back. We built it using quite a few parts from AEV – American Expedition Vehicles and when you build a Jeep with good quality parts, it’s hard to end up with a bad build. The owner was looking to have something they could take out into the wilds for some exploration and a good base to continue to build up over time. Though this build is a few years old, it is still a great example for starting any JK build even in today’s standards.

AEV Premium Front Bumper, PN# 10305055AD on the front of this JK adds excellent protection and is ready to accept a WARN Zeon 10-S winch.

Adding in an AEV Dualsport RS 3.5″ suspension gives this Rubicon enough lift to clear a set of 35×12.50 Nitto Trail Grapplers mounted on Matte Black 17×8.5 Method Double Standard wheels.

To help the rear tire clear the bumper, we added in a Teraflex JK/TJ Spare Tire Extension.

No matter what angle you view it from, this 2014 JKUR looks good.

What other parts would we add to this JK?

For a matching rear bumper, we’d choose the AEV Rear Bumper. You’d get a strong rear bumper that can easily protect the rear end of your JK from whatever the trail throws at it!

For some side protection, we’d go with a set of Rock Hard 4x4 Patriot Series Rocker Guards Tube Style which bolt on easily to your Jeep and provide maximum rocker and door protection.

To fill that front bumper, we’d go with a WARN Zeon 10-S. High quality, big pulling power and a synthetic rope, it’s probably the most used winch on the front of a JK.

If this was your build, where would you go from here?
