Kaiju Blue build

[lionchops]

So I've been lurking for a while and finally decided to start a build thread.

A little back story, I've never modded a vehicle in my life. So this is a first.

I have a 2016 nautical blue limited.

First thing I did was get rid of the badges.
Weather tech floor liners and window visors.....

I did the breather mod.
I put a tint on the top of my windshield.
Metal tech front bumper.
Sleekster sliders
Aux fuse box
Arb awning( on factory roof bars for now)

I have a rear bumper coming from a group buy her from Southern Speed.
I have a roof rack from Drabbits coming.
I plan on putting a compressor and another battery along with hd alternator.
Tires, I don't know about wheels yet.
And a lift.
After that, we'll see where the wind blows.

In the beginning

Now the awning is held in with l brackets and u bolts. Not pretty. But it works and more importantly, it's solid.


The ratchet strap made a horrible screaming noise, so I decided to use 550 paracord and a truckers hitch to help support.
Once again, not pretty, but functional till I get my roof rack.


Another L bracket and 3m Velcro. Just to support.

Took a trip from to Chicago to Portland. Had a little over 5000 on the odo, got back with a little over 11000.
Was an amazing trip.

This really was a great trip. Drove through Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Montana, South Dakota, and of course western Illinois.
