This build embraced the candy red Fuel wheels and brings color to other pieces of the Jeep, both inside and out. It features some monster tires, a big lift, and some small touches to tie it all together.

3.5-Inch Lift Kit
We added enough clearance for some big boy tires using Rough Country’s 3.5 inch suspension lift kit. This kit includes a set of control arm drop brackets, that means we can keep the factory arms. This provides the factory angle for great handling and a smooth highway ride.
Fuel Stroke Wheel Package
We swapped the factory rims with 20-inch Fuel Stroke (D612) Wheels. This 1-piece 20×9 wheel features a gloss black finish with candy red accents. Wrapped around these are 35-inch Nitto Ridge Grappler tires (295/65/20). This tire offers superior mud-terrain and all-terrain performance with a quiet ride.
Rough Country Tailgate Reinforcement Kit
That huge wheel and tire combo outweighs the factory package. That’s going to put a lot of stress on the rear gate of the Jeep over time. To eliminate this worry, we added a tailgate reinforcement kit to fortify the carrier.
Red Accents
We brought the red theme inside with a couple custom touches. We added red overlays to the top speaker and air vent bezels in the JL. These are inexpensive mods that add a lot of visual flair. These same speaker bezels are compatible in the Gladiator as well.
We also designed and cut a custom decal for the rear. It was a small detail that gives the a touch of personality to the Jeep.
Light Bar
Spanning the windshield is a DV8 Offroad Chrome Series LED Light Bar. It features a spot/flood combo beam pattern for lots of versatility on the trail. It produces a total of 21,500 lumen.
We chose the DV8 Over Windshield Light Bar Bracket to mount it. It accommodates any standard 50-inch light bar (not just DV8) using all factory hardware. This lets you mount without drilling and makes running the wire into the engine bay a simple process.
We added a discreet auxiliary switch to the right of the climate control cluster to activate it. It’s a perfect match to the rest of the JL’s interior.
Remote Start
For all the features of the 2020 Sahara, one thing it doesn’t come with is a remote starter. We added the Code Alarm remote start system to add convenience in any weather.
The system starts the vehicle and the climate control retains the settings it was left in. That means as your Jeep warms up, you’ll get AC in the summer and heat in the winter.
Possible Additions
With more budget, our go-to add would be some new steps. The Predator Pro Nerf Steps from N-FAB match the light bar bracket styling to a tee.
