Been on here a while & just realised I never actually introduced myself. Sorry for being rude!
Anyhoo, thought I would post up about my Jeep & hope you all enjoy my handywork. I've got A LOT of parts arriving over the next few weeks & will update when at my computer
I will edit this as I go & apologies if there's any delays as I'm in Europe so way ahead of most of you.
The wagon:
2005 Jeep WK / WH 5.7 Hemi, Startech / Brabus spec. I bought the 2005 specifically as the 2006 is around $350 more per year to tax. This will only be doing around 1000-1500 miles each year so refused to pay the extra
What was already done:
Startech brabus dual exit exhaust
Startech 20" rims
Startech illuminating side runners
Startech front bumper
Startech chrome pack inc door runners, grill, mirrors, tailgate handle etc
Whats been done by me:
Exterior:
Custom Startech rear bumper (as none seem to have these in the UK that I have seen, even though mine had the rest of the kit)
Powder coated wheels in shadow black
Wind deflectors
Rear spoiler (from CarID)
Custom arch extensions / fender flares in SRT style (but much wider)
SRT grill inserts
Hood bug deflector
Private plate
32" Cooper Zeon LTZ's
Fully detailed & painted where needed (only done 34,000 miles so wanted it to look that way)
Plasti-dipped all chrome on exterior
Detachable swan-neck tow bar
Lighting:
Fly-eye style rear light & front fog covers
Vinyl headlight cut to look like facelift & cover orange side light (will buy stillen when next in USA as refuse to pay $80 shipping)!
LED reverse lights
DRL activated & moved to fog lights
Aux lights fitted under front plate, connected to fogs
Custom headlights including painted shrouds, led side lights, led high beam, hid dip beam with high beam solonoid
Interior:
Vinyl wrapped all visible wood in 3d carbon
Overland door cards, dash bevels, shifter knob & surround
Gear shifter from late 2006 to gain trim that goes round selector then wrapped in carbon vinyl
Overland wheel wrapped in carbon
Full led interior (& they turn off)!
Carbon vinyl sill guards
Mopar rubber mats
Travall dog guard & trunk mat
Engine / Suspension / Other:
k&n induction
HKS earthing kit (inc throttle ground)
3" electric exhaust cut
Remote start kit using OEM key, guts swapped to newer style flip key
Passive keyless entry (so the car locks & unlocks as I approach / walk away)
2" RC lift/level kit
1.25" hub centric spacers
BRC LPG / gas conversion
Bricked my PCM courtesy of SuperChips & in no rush to deal with them again
Bought an official starscan so I can do my own work
Audio:
Boston speakers changed for Kicker all round
REC sat nav swapped out for JVC dab/dvd/nav unit inc harness adapters
Reverse camera
Pioneer double under seat sub (mounted under shelf, flush with rear seat as have rubber boot liner & dog guard for my Tamaskan)
Screens in headrests
OBD fusion app with wi-fi reader
Bought but to do:
Auto up / down windows all round (have wiring harness, door modules & switches)
Auto folding mirrors with lock / unlock (just need to tap off the PKE module in theory)
Auto headlight kit (already have the parts, just trying to work out the wiring)
Highland roof rack (on its way from USA)
Light bar(s) (awaiting roof rack)
Fit mopar tail light covers (on way from USA)
Fit USDM tail lights (on way from USA)
Fit mopar chrome fuel door (on way from USA)
Startech illuminating inner sill guards (on way from Germany)
Led halo side repeaters with 'trail rated' badges (on way from Canada & China)
Wish list:
Get a spare PCM to see if I can get the tuner to work without bricking another. Will try a Diablo Sport this time
Crazy Jays cam & supporting mods (throttle body, headers, 180 t stat, valve springs etc)
