I figured it might be time to start a build thread. I'm a big jeeper as well and have always kept a build for that and it's actually come in handy before trying to get a timeline of mods. Anyway, I picked up my 2005 STX 4.6 in August 2014. Only searched for about 2 weeks before I found this one, and if I wasn't so damn anxious to get in one I probably would have waited until i found a 5.4...but, i got it for $9200 out the door with 92k on it. This is my 5th vehicle and the first one I haven't paid cash for now that i'm 24 and have school loans. I'm sure i'll eventually pop up in some pics with the truck somewhere, so yes, i am a girl which always seems to be a surprise to people. gets em every time

First few pictures of the basic bald tire truck:











now time to go back and search for all the mods i did..

First thing i did was get a new set of 33s, which I knew was a bad idea because I was going to want bigger...but i was going on vacation that week and the current tires had nothing left




33s





I then painted the wheels black

next was the window tint. i think its like 25% or something

Then SIDO flowmaster 40 exhaust with 12 inch tips. Which now i regret a few things...i wish it was louder, it has a nice rumble when started and accelerating but it's pretty quiet idling. And I love the look of the tips coming straight back but here in Ma with all the snow and some offroading i do, i tend to back those tips right into snow banks and stuff. I was i had them come out in front of the rear tire or something







also tinted the tailights

Hell bent steel 3" leveling kit. I know i know the angles suck, but it wont be staying there forever

Few weeks after I came back from vacation..knowing this would happen..35 nitto trail grapplers







also added 1.5" spacers to give it a nice stance until i got new wheels

bought tinted headlights which you will notice later on i changed. these lens were tinted so basically no light got out, i then bought headlights with the back of it black instead of chrome so they look like the lens are tinted










swapped cluster from an fx4 that i bought in ebay. it has 400 more miles on it than my truck currently had so it was perfect. i just waited till i reached the same mileage and swapped it. Made the lights blue, and put in a 7 inch touch screen stereo

tow mirrors which is one of my favorite mods, love those things

added a 3" PA body lift. Trust me, i would have preferred a suspension lift but you can't beat the price. But...i will admit, and i tell other people, suck it up and buy the suspension lift. In the near future, i plan to make the leveling kit a 2 inch and add a 4" suspension and ill keep the body lift just because it was damn paint to get in so ill have 7" of lift











HIDs and LEDS for fog lights. in this pic the left side fog light is the led and the right side is the stock bulb
