Title: Jk out, Turbo Maverick in!
Post by: JWOK on January 28, 2017, 10:26:33 AM

So I had owned my JKU for almost six years and was really getting bored with it. I normally can't seem to keep things longer than a year so it was definitely a hard decision but I traded my way into a 16 Maverick XDS turbo with 30 hrs on it.

My plans are to do some amateur racing and just plain have fun with this thing.

Here's the start of the build...

B post and lower door intrusion bars to be added. Bought a sheet of aluminum yesterday for roof and skins.  Harnesses and  mirrors enroute.
