I've had it one month now, done 2500kms and have got it to Stage 4 of my Urban Assault Vehicle project. The weather was awesome here fri, sat and sun so i took the doors and roof off and posed up and down the coast, after having breakfast at Hillarys, with a couple of female friends of mine. Stage 1-4 are below, Stage 5 and onwards will be;
*ProComp xtreme all terrains 33" w/ black 16x8 steel s97 rock crawlers (on order)
*Tuffy security drawer and centre console (thanks to jeepkonection) (i plan to have the roof off most of the year - it's Perth, and i park in a garage at home and secure compound at work) (on order)
*Smittybuilt molle overhead console and tailgate console (storage and UAV looks) (on order from Quadratec - pain in the arse)
plus much much more, I'm addicted...

Urban Assault Vehicle - Stage 1 (limp Bizkit fans?)
Going back a couple of weeks... I fitted an 2 1/2" straight cat back exhaust with straight through muffler and chrome tip.
Then I went and had fitted an ARB Deluxe Bull Bar with Winch cover plate, ARB Rock Sliders (nice, but i wish they stuck out further so as to be used as a step) and rear bar with tow bar and number plate relocation bracket. I got them to use allen key bolts for my number plates and the relocation bracket to make it slightly tougher to rip off my plates (as done on my crewman when it was just phillips head screws...

Urban Assault Vehicle - Stage 2 (keep on rollin' baby)
Then I had my 2" lift done at Wilkinsons. Tough Dog 40mm adjustables and King Springs (note: the stickers on the shocks come off very easily - i lost two before i noticed)

UAV - Stage 2 cont'd (you know what time it is)
Then i had 35% tinted security film applied to the door windows and hardtop, and did a clear security film on the windscreen. Hopefully this will decrease the entry rate of scum breaking in through a window, animals coming through the windscreen over the bonnet and well... i guess scum coming through the windscreen if i see them breaking into other peoples cars
This makes it very dark inside, especially over my renegade privacy glass, you cannot see in the rear windows by day or with a torch at night, it just reflects. I can see out the front windows fine, and the rears at day, night time is reduced, but i can still see headlights so am not fussed . The only issue is the windscreen still has some 'orange peel' effect and has obscured a little vision. I have been asked to wait 28days and if i am still not happy, they'll try again

Urban Assault Vehicle - Stage 3
Then I fitted (when i say I, i mean i supervised my mates chips and terrycags do it, i was thirsty) rear netting that i got off ebay, dirtydog. I like it very much, it looks supercool and is handy for the dog and once my security drawer is in, will keep in bags and tents etc. I had to take the roof off for ease of fitting.

UAV - Stage 3 cont'd
I 'found' my brother's hyundai tuscon's pet/cargo barrier. I swear it was just lying around. I managed to get the support beam out (irreversible damage may or may not have been comitted) and using an ockie strap and the existing cargo tie downs, fitted it to my JK, to stop the dog and the luggage coming over the top of the back seats. It looks good, is quick to put up and down, and does not obscure my rear vison much (unlike the netting which does when i have the hard top on, so i roll it up and secure it with ockie straps)
