We have been following Jeep builds that the folks over at Extreme Terrain have been doing, and this build like the others is all about improving the vehicle both on and off-road.  The Jeep that came to Extreme Terrain this time already had plenty 0f additions on it already.

This Jeep came to Extreme Terrain with some previous additions, but the team was still able to add even more to take this Jeep to the next level.

The owner had already installed Nitto Tires, Mammoth Boulder Wheels, and a Teraflex 2.5-inch lift, but left the exterior relatively untouched. Bushwacker fender flares where the first part to go on. These fenders, as Ryan Huck mentioned, “Look great! The fenders have rivets that actually function. These fenders do require a little more trimming then other fenders on the market, but we feel the end look is worth it.”

The Jeep owner had modified the front bumper before hand making a “stubby” type bumper for clearance. This may have added some extra clearance for the tires, but did not change the look of the Jeep to much. The team decided to add Barricade front and rear bumpers to change the style and protect the Jeep on the trail.

The Barricade Trail Force HD front bumper came with built-in LED lights. “These lights do not emit a ton of light and are more of marker lights then true auxiliary lights,” Ryan said. The lights add a unique style to the front of Jeep where most bumpers do not have this feature.

Not only does this Jeep look good, all the additions to the Jeep serve a purpose out on the trail.

Out back the Barricade Extreme HD rear bumper has addition curves and angles that make it look like a stamped steel bumper when it really is a plate steel. The bumper has plenty of room for a large spare tire. This Jeep is running 33-inch tires, and they had plenty of room. The factory tire carrier can cause problems down the road with larger tires, but the team went ahead and added a Rugged Ridge Spartacus HD tire carrier with adjustable third brake light bracket.

To make the Jeep sound as aggressive as it looks a Flowmaster American Thunder Cat Back Exhaust was added. This system actually relocates the muffler so that there is extra clearance on the back of the Jeep.

With everything installed it was time to go out and play in the mud. Ryan and a friend went out to the local trail and played around. Ryan also showed the benefit of having a front bumper like the one they installed when you get stuck. The D-rings up front allowed for an easy recovery point which made for a quick recovery.

The most important modification is a functional one. Every product that was added to this build serves a purpose and function. What do you think your most functional modification is? Tell us in the comments below!
