Default JKU: Snowing Angry Copper Build

I thought may be I should start a build myself as well. Try to share what I am planning for my JKU in case anyone interested.
My JKU was picked up back in August and it's mainly for touring, getting to fish spot and as daily drive. It'll be like 70% on-road and 30% off-road.

It's good to be in Melbourne as there are quite a few experts here to give advise and my current mods comes from different suppliers.

Here is the list of mods I have in mind and some of those are done.

- AEV 2.5" Dualsport XT suspension (done)
- AEV geometry correction bracket (done)
- AEV premium front bar (done)
- AEV rear bar with pump kit (done)
- Matt Black Angry Bird Grill (done)
- Wild boar air scoop (done)
- Fuel door (done)
- Hood lock (done)
- Cooper AT3 all terrain 32" same as stock height but wider (done)
- Thermocore headliner (done)
- ARB diff cover D30, D44 (done)
- Spot lights JW speaker TS3000 (done)
- Headlights JW speaker 8700 (done)
- Teraflex Tire Carrier Spacer (done)
- Teraflex antenna mount (done)
- Fox ATS steering stabilizer (done)
- CB radio (done)
- Mopar 10A hood (done)
- AEV snorkel (done)
- Runwa XP 11 winch (done)
- Air compressor (done)
- Rear mount flood light (done)
- LED Tail light (done)
- Remove subwoofer (done)
- Springtail Solutions interior racks - passenger and driver side (done)
- Prorack T18 on rails (done)
- Front runner tailgate drop down table (done)
- Redarc dual battery system (done)
- Maximus 3 Modular Tire Carrier (done)
- Reverse camera relocate (done)
- Uneek license plate mount (done)
- 100W Semi-flex solar panel (done)
- BRC diff breather kit (pending)
- Hurricane Fender Flares (pending)
- Custom Drawers
- long range tank

I'm sure the list will go on.. as I am still planning on how to utilise storage space better.

Finally decided on the spotties.. JK speaker TS3000V. 1 x pencil and 1 x driving (wide) beam. Got a really good deal on it which is so hard to resist.

The diff covers are replaced after trip to Tassie together with bits as pieces. Driving lights are waiting to be installed end of this week..
Quite a bit of things to be done.



The stock diff covers doesn't really like gravels and rocks much. So the change went on earlier than expected.





Finally found a "clip" that works with the Daystar dash tray, much better now as that can hold my phone.



The lights are waiting to get on.

@Jimmyb Sure! I'd only saw this color on paper when I order it.

The spotties are on with a bit of extra.



So now all the lights in front are done and the switch is on a-pillar as usual. Now only the other hard parts left. Back ordered the Tuffy security deck for the back as well.

Now need to start searching for something good as grill mesh as I notice a few rocks did landed on the radiator which is not what I'd expect.

The steering dampener is in my list.. in mind. I'm waiting to see how long the stock one will last. Also, has to see if Bill got any goodies when back in town.
I'm expecting a few other things which might need to replace after few more trips, things like ball joints.
